Ta Prohm: Ruins of an ancient Angkorian monastery that consumed by forest since it was abandoned due to ancient climate catastrophe A team consists of multinational scientists led by Brendan M. Buckley from Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University, Palisades, New York, revealed that Angkor, with the best sightseeing could be found at Ta Prohm temple, is among the first-known examples of how climate catastrophe could destroy entire population. What was once a largest city in the world—built in six decades to became the capital of the mighty Khmer empire; 1, 000 square kilometers of grande architecture inhabited by 750, 000-900, 000 people—the hydraulic city of Angkor had been abandoned since fourteenth and fifteenth centuries due to wars and "decades-long drought in combination with other factors, " according the scientists in their 2010 research paper published by US-based the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). "The Angkor droughts were of a duration and severity that would have impacted the sprawling city’s water supply and agricultural productivity, while high-magnitude monsoon years damaged its water control infrastructure, " the report said.
