Angkor Wat
One of the most visited monuments of Cambodia whose enigmatichistory has been forgotten. 这是️️很好的用whose引导的定语从句的示范。
Its inhabitants abandoned this sacred place overnight.
Angkor Wat was a Hindu temple and a part of a huge temple complex belonging to the holy city of Angkor, capital of the Khmer Empire.
This kingdom was born in the ninth century and prospered for over six hundred years. It grew in size and population multiplied at great speed until suddenly a city that had grown to almost a million inhabitants was abandoned.
Eventually it was swallowed up by the dense jungle.
Similar in size to metropolitan New York, Angkor is today a set of ruins that is of great interest to historians.
The splendor of the Khmer Empire was based on water.
The plain of Angkor flooded with the monsoons and a vast network of reservoirs and canals over 1,000 kilometers in total, who's constructed to supply the rice fields and field reservoirs.
But in order to create this macro city, thousands of trees were cut down which led to its ruin.
Without tree, the rain cycle broke down. The rains devastated crops and the canals overflowed.
Finally, fleeing was the only solution for inhabitants, desperate to survive at all costs.
柬埔寨游览人数最多的古迹之一——吴哥窟，它神秘的历史已经被人们遗忘。
一夜之间，它的居民全部撤离了这个神圣的地方。
吴哥窟是一个印度教寺庙，也是圣城吴哥（高棉帝国的首都）的巨大庙宇复合体的一部分。
这个王国诞生于九世纪，繁荣了六百多年。它的规模和人口均成倍增加，直到这座拥有将近一百万居民的城市被遗弃。
最终它被茂密的丛林吞噬了。
吴哥面积同如今的纽约市差不多，现在已经成了一组废墟，引起了历史学家极大的兴趣。
高棉帝国的辉煌是以水为基础的。
吴哥的平原季节性被洪水淹没，拥有由水库和运河组成的超过1000公里水系统，给稻田和水库供应水源。
为了创造这个规模巨大的城市，成千上万的树木被砍伐，直接导致了它的毁灭。
没有树破坏了水循环。雨水毁坏庄稼，造成运河泛滥。
最终，逃离是唯一的解决办法，不惜一切代价只为生存下来。
