From the 9th to 15th century, the Khmer Empire reigned supreme in Southeast Asia and boasted splendors rivaling the Roman Empire. Victorious troops used to pass through the "Gate of Victory", one of the five gates of Angkor Thom, returning triumphantly towards the Terrace of the Elephants to a joy-filled capital. Even today, the Angkor Sites are still breathing the splendor of proudly parading soldiers and Apsara dancers showcasing the prosperity of royal dynasties.
