| Jayavarman VII | |
Jayavarman VII was in his sixties when he took the throne of the Khmer or Angkor Empire, as Cambodia was known in ancient times, yet he reigned for three decades. During that time, he rebuilt the temple cities of Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom, and undertook the building of other temples, as well as hospitals and roads. He also expanded the boundaries of the Khmer Empire, which reached its greatest extent under his leadership. |
