Agriculture power. Same as happened with Egypt. In both places good governance and good engenieering created architecture wonders. In Egypt the water from the glaciation all melted and the Nile became drier, less food, and the civilization returned to its natural size. In a similar way the Khmer management of the main resource -water- meant less rince and the Kingdom declined. Building buildings whe the going is good in entrenched in man as we see towers going up wherever a region or country is coming up, Dubai N. York, Chicago, China...
