DUBLAB FIELD REPORTS: Cambodia 2009

Angkor Wat is Cambodia’s greatest glory. It is the apex of the classical Khmer age. The temple shines in symmetry and grandeur under the wide Cambodian sky. A broad moat has helped keep its expansive sprawl safe for over eight centuries but this physical barrier is not its sole key to strength. When Suryavarman II constructed Angkor Wat he did so with faith infused in every inch. Into the walls, pillars and gates his craftspeople carved deities to protect against demons and invaders. These spirits of stone were mystic guardians. There are powerful spells still today and one such charm is before you now. Dntel has created a new talisman to keep towers from tumbling. This song reflects from the walls of Angkor Wat and casts a spell that will keep its majesty intact for the far future.
