'Lost' Medieval City Discovered Beneath Cambodian Jungle | Angkor Wat & Temple Cities

'Lost' Medieval City Discovered Beneath Cambodian Jungle | Angkor Wat & Temple Cities

A lost city known only from inscriptions that existed some 1,200 years ago near Angkor in what is now Cambodia has been uncovered using airborne laser scanning. The previously undocumented cityscape, called Mahendraparvata, is hidden beneath a dense forest on the holy mountain Phnom Kulen, which means "Mountain of the Lychees."
