Second of three programmes

Lecturer in Art in the University of Malaya
The famous Khmer temples at Angkor in Cambodia are only the best known of a large number of ancient sites lying half hidden in the thick jungle of southern Indo-China. Between about 800 and 1300 A.D. each successive Khmer ruler built for himself a gigantic shrine as the centre of his own capital. ' I could not help thinking of the Khmer Empire impoverished in the creating of these colossal buildings, of men taken from the soil ... ' the speaker says. He has recently made a tour of the archaeological remains of Indo-China as part of his work of building up the new Art Museum of the University of Malaya.
