Maybe it was the fact that everyone who ever built any of this stuff was well and truly dead, but after wandering around Angkor for while, I couldn’t help thinking that this will inevitably happen to to us too.
It’s 2014 and humanity continues to grief each other over irrelevant shit like skin colour, birthplace, gender, where we stick our genitals, and which invisible man-in-the-sky we believe or don’t. For all the technological advances we have made in the 900 years since the Khmer empire fell, humanity hasn’t really changed much.
