Books in the Ancient Peoples and Places series

In less than a century the Incas rose from obscure origins to build one of the largest empires of the ancient world.

The Classic-period kings ruled over the Khmer empire from AD 802 for more than five centuries, and this book, newly available in paperback, examines the massive architectural achievements of this period, including the huge capital city of Angkor, with the awe- inspiring Angkor Wat, the world's largest religious structure.
