Palavra-chave Angkor Wat

Lara Croft é uma aristocrata filha de Lord Henshingly Croft, um arqueólogo cujo desaparecimento está por explicar. Criada em berço de ouro, é uma experiente salteadora que percorre o mundo em busca de artefactos raros e valiosos. Sem o saber, ela tinha em casa "O Olho Que Tudo Vê", um fragmento, guardado pelo seu pai, de um artefacto que, reconstituído, poderia dar ao seu possuidor o poder sobre o Tempo. Mas há um grupo secreto e poderoso que não vai olhar a meios para obter os pedaços e controlar este poder.

Depois de ter sido desacreditado como um covarde, um marinheiro do século 19 (Peter O'Toole) vive com um único propósito: se redimir. Baseado no romance de Joseph Conrad escrito em 1900.

Millions of tourists visit Angkor Wat in Cambodia every year to marvel at its remarkable architecture, yet most are probably unaware that when it was built nearly 1,000 years ago it was even more impressive. Using remote sensing technology, scientists now know what is hidden beneath the nearby paddy fields and jungle: a sophisticated metropolis with an elaborate network of houses, canals, boulevards and temples covering 30 square kilometres that housed three-quarters of a million people. To put that into perspective, London at that time was home to just 18,000. These previously hidden finds tell us a great deal about life during the golden age of the powerful Khmer dynasty.

Buddhists, Hindus, and hundreds of thousands of travelers from around the globe flock to Cambodia every year to experience the grandeur of Angkor. Its famous temples were built over the span of five centuries by the rulers of the Khmer Empire, and endure today as one of Earth's greatest archaeological wonders. We peel away the myth and legend to uncover the hidden story behind the creation of this ancient city.
