 | KHMER TODAY, GONE TOMORROW | ||
| |||
| Cambodia is famous for two things. Angkor Wat and the Killing Fields. The first is arguably the most monumental architectural achievement of man, the second is man at his most destructive and depraved. Seven hundred years separate them; it was the Ancient Khmers who built the Angkor temples between the 9th and 13th centuries and it was the Khmer Rouge who decimated more than two million of their fellow citizens in the 1970s. Creative genius and the flowering of a civilisation versus the genocidal madness of Pol Pot and his fellow psychopaths. Strange bedfellows indeed. And proof again of the impermanence of all things. | |||
