Sambor Prei Kuk, situated in Kampong Thom province, has roots tracing back to the 7th century when it served as the bustling capital of the Chenla Empire. Today, it’s known for its collection of approximately 170 temples, each a testament to the Khmer civilization’s architectural prowess.
Despite its historical significance, unanswered questions shroud the site’s past, particularly regarding the empire’s decline and the subsequent abandonment of its capital.
