The Khmer Empire is a former Hindu-Buddhist empire which served as a precursor to the modern Kingdom of Cambodia. From its inception in 802 CE to its collapse in the 15th century, the empire's territory encompassed most of Indochina in Southeast Asia. The city of Angkor served as its capital from the late 9th century till its fall.[1]
History
Legacy
Centuries after its collapse, the Khmer Empire became the subject of rumors around Southeast Asia concerning an alleged Isu temple located within Angkor. In the early 18th century, various parties sought out this legendary temple for the treasure they believed it contained, including the British Assassin Edward Kenway and the Templars, who sent Shimazu Saito to Macau in 1725 to search for leads to Angkor's location.[2]
