Description

Bringing the principles of 12th-century Khmer temple architecture to the modern world; this text finds that the key to understanding the temple lies in the measurement system used by its original builders. By translating metres into cubits; the author uncovered a highly sophisticated system of philosophical and religious principles expressed in the temple measurements themselves. The measurements connect the temple to the stars and the cosmos; bridge the gap between human and divine realms; help unite the king and his deity - in short; they define how time; space; kingship and divinity exist inseparably from each other.
