Lost Hong Kong: Khmer Empire

During the 10th century, the Khmer Empire was a densely populated country with great power and wealth.  They were world leaders in art, culture, architectural technology, aesthetic achievements and with diversified religious.  Historians have confirmed that it was the largest industrial revolution city in the world during its heyday from the 11th to the 13th century.  This great empire’s capital is located at the current Angkor Wat. Like any other great empire, the Khmer Empire started fading from its glory after the 15th century.  There have always been legends that the entire empire was buried under the temples of Angkor Wat, hiding precious treasures.  Archaeologists all over the world are deeply fascinated by it.   Your father, an archaeologist, is also fascinated by the history of the Khmer Empire and believes that he has obtained very accurate information of its whereabouts.

Your father and his team gone missing!  In order to cope with the grief, you’ve decided to forget everything about archaeology.

You woke up in a cave with no information. The geologists on the team estimate that the cave will collapse in 45 minutes.  Could you able to find your father in time? Does the legendary Khmer Empire exist?
