There are so much history buried in the jungle of Cambodia. The power shifted around Cambodia are found in the ruins and religion played a huge part. Building grand temples to appease the gods and seek comfort of life after death are greatly influenced by both Hinduism and Buddhism. The superb craftmanship are manifested in the temple architectures at a time when there was no machines.
