Angkor Thom literally meaning &ldquo;Great City&rdquo; in Khmer and is undeniably an expression of Khmer genius when their Empire was at its greatest. It&rsquo;s the last capital of the Khmer Empire and was a fortified city housing priests, officials, the palace military as well as buildings for administering the vast Kingdom. Most structures were built of wood so have long perished but the remaining stone monuments and the massive city walls and gates still remain testifying to the grandeur this place had.
