			==Behind the scenes==
			"Khmer Empire" is a term used in modern western historiography denoting the period between 802 CE and 1431 CE. 1431 marked the {{wiki\|fall of Angkor}}, which is traditionally accepted as the main factor that led to the Khmer Empire's decline. However, the empire did not collapse immediately, as the ruling monarchy retained its sovereignty, albeit with less influence and having to abandon Angkor.<ref name="Wiki"/>

			The period in Cambodian history after Angkor's fall and prior to the establishment of the {{Wiki\|French protectorate of Cambodia}} in 1863 is nominally known as the Middle or {{Wiki\|Post-Angkor period}}.<ref name="Wiki"/> However, the ''[[Apocalypse]]'' expansion pack for the tabletop role-playing game ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood of Venice]]'', set in Cambodia in 1524, still uses the "Khmer Empire" name to describe the region.

			Similarly, the webtoon ''[[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple]]'', set in 1725, refers to Angkor as "the lost city of the Khmer Kingdom", when in reality the city was not "lost" at the time and would have been part of the Kingdom of Cambodia. While masked by the dense jungle and difficult to find, Angkor remained populated even after the Khmer Empire's collapse, and was visited by a number of foreign explorers until the late 19th century, when the French government started a long restoration process of the city.<ref>{{WP\|Angkor}}</ref>
