Angkor Wat — kein Tempel. 391 Tonnen am Tag, 35 Jahre — eine Rechnung, die nicht aufgeht

391 tons of sandstone. Every day. For 35 years. Through 40 kilometers of jungle and swamp—without wheels, without draft animals. Angkor Wat is not a temple. It is a hydraulic megastructure spanning over 1,000 square kilometers. Larger than London in the 12th century. And the workforce, theoretically speaking, is insufficient for both the temple and the city. ... In this video: • Why the French explorers of 1860 didn't believe the Khmer had built Angkor — and the reasons behind it • The arithmetic that blows everything out of the water: 5 million tons, 40 km of transport, zero infrastructure • Rov and Western Baray — the earthworks that consume more labor than the entire temple • Feeding 750,000 people AND building at the same time — an equation that doesn't add up • 0.1 degree deviation over 1,000 km² — without GPS, without a theodolite • What it would cost to do the same today — and why even that would hardly be realistic 📍 Angkor, Cambodia — Angkor Wat, Western Baray, Tonle Sap Region 🔗 ← Previous video: “Derinkuyu: 55 meters deep. 600 rooms.
