Khmer Empire
The
Khmer Empire was a powerful kingdom based in what is now
Cambodia. At times, it ruled over and/or vassalised parts of modern-day
Laos,
Thailand and
Vietnam. The empire's greatest physical legacy is
Angkor, which was its capital. Angkor bears testimony to the Khmer Empire's immense power and wealth, as well as the variety of belief systems that it patronised over time. The empire's official religions included
Hinduism,
Mahayana and
Theravada Buddhism.
