Angkor wasn't just a city of stone temples. It was built on water. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the vast hydraulic network that made the Khmer Empire possible: the barays, the canals, the reservoirs, the rice fields. They trace how successive kings expanded the system, how it powered the empire's wealth, and how it may have contributed to its collapse. Along the way, they meet the engineers, the kings, and the workers who shaped a landscape that still holds water today. From Indravarman I's Indratataka to Jayavarman VII's massive projects, this is the story of water as empire, and empire as water.
