Angkor is the world's largest ancient city

According to the University of Sydney in Australia, said that Angkor was the ancient city, a major in the world, ancient and an ancient city great for tourists of all nations visited as well, and the discovery was announced in the text of Sciences published by the magazine National Academy of Sciences (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences). The source revealed that the use of technology, a new name in English that Lai standards (LIDAR), a technology using a laser to track and scan down to the bottom of the land to the researchers found the exact size of the city of Angkor, which has in the past of the Khmer. The laser scans revealed aspects town has never been recorded before, the network connection between the castle, which is 1,200 years older. Aerial laser created the first detailed map of the whole view of the city, including a number of sites, roads and temples that had never known before.

Archaeologist Damian Evans of the University of Sydney captain Essay above, said no one has a map of the ancient city this detail before, so it's breaking secrets real that can be visible from the city, exactly like this, but it's exciting to see the evidence of human activity that still left scars under flooring woods yet after the city did not have access and covered by the jungle for centuries. Damian Evans, the leader of this research project, said that because of the use of LIDAR technology, and we have to know the exact size of the city of Angkor in early. Professor said, adding that since 1860, comes the study will explore the ancient capital was the culmination of a series, and the researchers found a series also many temples that beyond line in buried in the forest and there are mountains, some other researchers have not arrived. The whole city of Angkor structures such as roads, drainage systems use technology Lai University found that it may be great ancient city found in history.

Damian Evans said the archaeologist who has spent many years researching on the ground to draw a map of a 9 km which is the town of the region as a whole. But Lai showed larger towns so far are up to 35 square kilometers and has a population crowd than they used to believe in the past. Separating the real mystery is found that the downtown area has a multitude of the people living and plan the layout of the city is greater than previously thought in the past. See how much space we had previously overlooked influence our understanding of how these ancient cities were built.

The technology LiDAR is an advanced technology by the box of it comes carried with helicopters and firing laser down through the trees and the forest so far, ground and rays The test came up on the back, bringing with data de facto situation of the ground under the ground, and the tree is create a map three sizes (3D) details of the area. It is a useful tool for archaeologists because the laser can break through the thick trees and covers an area larger than the yellow pedestrian walking by analysts. Lai is used to navigate as well as other archaeological sites such as Stonehenge, UK. Reflection using laser cameras can make researchers aware of landscape plants and archaeological map of Angkor with high accuracy.
