The Khmer empire of ancient Cambodia, which flourished from the 9th to 15th century, gave birth to some of the world's richest works of art and architecture. At its peak in the 12th century, during the reigns of Suryavarman II and the Buddhist king Jayavarman VII, Khmer civilization extended throughout continental Southeast Asia and culminated in the construction of the magnificent temple of Angkor Wat, the walled city of Angkor Thom and the temple of the Bayon. The whole culture was influenced by the language and religions inherited from India, but Khmer art soon adapted Indian models into its own highly original works, the glorious monuments and expressive sculpture that form part of its prestigious heritage.
