Today, Angkor is one of the largest and most magnificent archaeological sites in the world but the cultural heritage of the ancient Khmer empire has become the target of large-scale art thefts, with military personnel involved. This documentary, filmed in Cambodia and Thailand, investigates the illegal trade in coveted Khmer artifacts and the steps being taken to try to stop it.

Khmer ornamentation or Kbach (in Khmer) is an important decorative element widely used in Khmer artifacts and architecture throughout Cambodia. Ornamentation is arguably the triumph of Khmer art, a pillar of Khmer civilization.

The Thais will never give back to whom we steal. They even want to steal our culture and say that we are copying.

If the rich westerners don’t buy and don’t create the market for it than nobody gonna looting. The problem is the rich western could care less about others as long as they got what they want.

😂 you just made it clear of how pathetic you are. Please fine all related documentaries regarding this topic of looted artifacts from Cambodia before any stupid comments. It isn't the new government but it was looted by previous young khmer rouge soldiers.
