Scambodia - The Double Mystery of Angkor
Reporter: Eric Campbell


Why did the highly advanced Angkor civilisation of South-East Asia suddenly disappear more than five hundred years ago?

Scientists from Sydney University along with French and Cambodian experts believe they've unlocked part of the mystery.

Eric Campbell reports on the archaeological quest of the century and also confronts a modern mystery of what's become known as Scambodia - who's getting the money from the country's most acclaimed tourist attraction?

Cool

For the first 10-15 minutes I was thinking "where the hell does someone get scambodia from ?" But then the second half of the documentary reveals why.

Somewhat ironic that what happened 500 years ago, could well happen again.
