June 2008At its peak in the 12th century, the Angkor kingdom spread across Cambodia, Thailand, Burma, Laos and Vietnam. Angkor is the largest pre-industrial city known to man. So how did Angkor mysteriously disappear?It was the size of modern LA, a masterpiece of civil engineering. Forests were stripped and rivers removed to make way for temples, palaces and markets. Then, in a development that has long perplexed archaeologists, Angkor suddenly vanished. Now a recent study by the University of Sydney is re-examining Angkor using radar remote-sensing data from NASA. As archaeologist Damien Evans explains, the team's findings give a stark warning to Cambodia's corrupt and greedy rulers, and to modern societies worldwide. 'We are facing similar issues', says Evans, 'The same mistakes are being repeated today'.Produced by ABC AustraliaDistributed by Journeyman Pictures

You people need to relax. The term Scambodia doesnt refer to the country as a whole. It rather refers to the corrupt top officials who exploit the nation and its people and in this case, it's the Cambodian people.

Cambodia is Khmer people mother land.A mother land never created bad for her people only the leaders of Khmer people created bad for her. You can insult the Khmer leaders as you wish but to insult the mother land calling her a scam is like you insult your own mother calling her a scam too.
