Does anyone have any information on the Khmer Empire in what is now Cambodia ? I have tried searching for it but always get stuff about the tragic modern history which is not what I'm looking for.

I think that the downfall of the Khmer started with Annamese expansion into southern Vietnam, forcing the Chams to flee into the neighbouring Khmer, in effect invading it. Beforehand, the Thai people were slowly moving south, and the Khmer vassalised their kingdom.
At the time of the Cham invasion, the Thais rose up, taking Angkor Thom, and speeling the end of the Khmer.

I do not know much about the khmers history.
I know they build large pools for irrigation and they had temples placed in the jungle to represent the stars. Or that is what some wierd french guy thought, but he also thought that the Aztecs knew the diameter of earth and built the tmples in tenochlilitan to represent it...
