Angkor Thom"Great City", located in present-day Cambodia, was the last and most enduring capital city of the Khmer empire. It was established in the late twelfth century by King Jayavarman VII.:378–382:170
It covers an area of 9 km², within which are located several monuments from earlier eras as well as those established by Jayavarman and his successors. At the centre of the city is Jayavarman's state temple, the Bayon, with the other major sites clustered around the Victory Square immediately to the north.

Angkor Thom was established as the capital of Jayavarman VII's empire, and was the centre of his massive building programme. One inscription found in the city refers to Jayavarman as the groom and the city as his bride.:121
Angkor Thom seems not to be the first Khmer capital on the site, however. Yasodharapura, dating from three centuries earlier, was centred slightly further northwest, and Angkor Thom overlapped parts of it. The most notable earlier temples within the city are the former state temple of Baphuon, and Phimeanakas, which was incorporated into the Royal Palace. The Khmers did not draw any clear distinctions between Angkor Thom and Yashodharapura: even in the fourteenth century an inscription used the earlier name.:138 The name of Angkor Thom—great city—was in use from the 16th century.
The last temple known to have been constructed in Angkor Thom was Mangalartha, which was dedicated in 1295. Thereafter the existing structures continued to be modified from time to time, but any new creations were in perishable materials and have not survived.
The Ayutthaya Kingdom, led by King Borommarachathirat II, sacked Angkor Thom, forcing the Khmers under Ponhea Yat to relocate their capital southeast.:29
Angkor Thom was abandoned some time prior to 1609, when an early western visitor wrote of an uninhabited city, "as fantastic as the Atlantis of Plato".:140 It is believed to have sustained a population of 80,000–150,000 people.

Long endless highway, you're silent beside me
Driving a nightmare I can't escape from
Helplessly praying, the light isn't fading
Hiding the shock and the chill in my bones
They took you away on a table
I pace back and forth as you lay still
They pull you in to feel your heartbeat
Can you hear me screaming? Please don't leave me
Hold on, I still want you
Come back, I still need you
Let me take your hand, I'll make it right
I swear to love you all my life
Hold on, I still need you

A couple years ago the Frosty's Village team (Melissa & Christina (shown here) along with Annie and Leah and Robert) started putting up the same Frosty inflatable, hoping to brighten up their neighbourhood. That grew into a campaign to see if the neighbours would band together and put up as many Frostys as possible. If you want to join in on the fun, Christina has a few Frostys ready to go. They’re building on last year's great success and it's become a MUST-SEE nighttime drive thru for your family in December with about 100 Frostys up so far. So many Frostys went up last weekend, and now is a great time to visit and count all the Frostys in Frosty’s village. They partnered with @burlfoodbank to collect food donations as well – the food drive will run for the month of December. When you visit Frosty’s Village consider dropping off a non-perishable food item at 1148 Lockhart Rd! It is well lit with two Frostys, some signage and a bin for your donation!
This iconic bird is in big trouble. Once very common in northern forests of North America, Canada Jay now is disappearing. The naturalist at the Sax Zim Bog (Northern Minnesota) talked about the future of Canada's national bird, Canada Jay, also called Grey Jay.
According to the naturalist and a recent study, fluctuating weather patterns caused by climate change are threatening Canada jays' food sources — and for future generations of Canada jays, this could spell disaster. Canada jays don’t migrate south for food and warmth during the colder winter months, but these birds rather store thousands of food items in caches during the summer and rely on these food sources to survive in Canada year-round.
While many animals with hoarding behaviors store non-perishable food for the winter, like nuts, Canada jays prefer a diet of meat, berries, and other perishables. They coat these items in a layer of saliva before "glueing" them to high-up of tree branches where they’re safe from heavy snowfall. Since winters in Canada typically are cold with below freezing temperatures, Canada jays use the natural environment as a freezer for perishable food. How clever!
As long as temperatures stay below freezing, this method of food caching is able to keep Canada jays fed throughout the winter months. If temperatures fluctuate above and below the freezing point, however, these cached food sources are more likely to spoil, and Canada jays will have less to eat, and the quality of their food is poor as a result. Also, according to the studies, a greater number of freeze-thaw cycles resulted in smaller, weaker offspring that were less likely to survive.
The Canada jay nests in late winter (right now), incubating its eggs in temperatures that may drop below minus 20°F. While the female alone incubates, the male brings food for her, so she can stay at the nest, protecting and keeping it warm. With spoiled food caches, the female has to leave the nest to find food and feed herself.
There were tiny patches of snow, if any, and temperature in Northern Minnesota was between 35-43 degrees of Fahrenheit (2-6 C) in the beginning of February 2024.

This enchanted garden is less than three hours from Toronto, and, because of it's eerie vibe, is the perfect spot to visit for those interested in the spooky and unusual.
The Screaming Heads are located in Burk's Falls, and is half-art gallery, half-outdoor playground.
This surreal property is owned and operated by the Screaming Heads artist himself, Peter Camani, on his 300-acre land.
Visitors are welcome to wander around and admire the 20-ft concrete sculptures that adorn his gardens, including heads and hands that seem to be exploding out of the earth - making the property feel otherworldly.
Often referred to as Ontario's Stonehenge, the arrangement of the artwork may seem random, but seen from above, you'll discover the concrete sculptures form the shape of a dragon.
The Screaming Heads of Midlothian is open year round, but perhaps is best seen in fall because of the vibrant autumn foliage of the Almaguin Highlands Region.
Although it's free to enter, there is a donation box at the entrance, and visitors are encouraged to bring donations of non-perishable food items for the Burk's Falls and District Food Bank.

Le terme casse-croûte, aussi orthographié casse-croute désigne différentes réalités apparentées au domaine de l'alimentation.
À l'origine, le terme casse-croûte est utilisé en France pour désigner un outil à l'usage des vieillards édentés, employé pour broyer les croûtes de pain.
Depuis la fin du XIXe siècle, ce terme désigne aussi, en français européen, le repas sommaire que prennent les ouvriers pendant une pause de leur travail. Par extension, l'on nomme aussi casse-croûte un repas très simple, ou simplement un sandwich.
En français québécois, le terme casse-croûte désigne un restaurant servant des repas légers. Il est donc utilisé comme synonyme de snack-bar, ce dernier terme relevant du registre familier au Québec, mais du registre standard en France. Le casse-croûte typique est un établissement de restauration rapide, sans prétention, situé en bordure de route.
A snack is a small portion of food generally eaten between meals. Snacks come in a variety of forms including packaged snack foods and other processed foods, as well as items made from fresh ingredients at home.
Traditionally, snacks are prepared from ingredients commonly available at home without a great deal of preparation. Often cold cuts, fruits, leftovers, nuts, sandwiches, and sweets are used as snacks. With the spread of convenience stores, packaged snack foods became a significant business.
Snack foods are typically designed to be portable, quick, and satisfying. Processed snack foods, as one form of convenience food, are designed to be less perishable, more durable, and more portable than prepared foods. They often contain substantial amounts of sweeteners, preservatives, and appealing ingredients such as chocolate, peanuts, and specially-designed flavors (such as flavored potato chips).
In the United States, a popular snack food is the peanut. Peanuts first arrived from South America via slave ships and became incorporated into African-inspired cooking on southern plantations. After the Civil War, the taste for peanuts spread north, where they were incorporated into the culture of baseball games and vaudeville theatres.
Along with popcorn, snacks bore the stigma of being sold by unhygienic street vendors. The middle-class etiquette of the Victorian era (1837–1901) categorized any food that did not require proper usage of utensils as lower-class.
Pretzels were introduced to North America by the Dutch, via New Amsterdam in the 17th century. In the 1860s, the snack was still associated with immigrants, unhygienic street vendors, and saloons. Due to loss of business during the Prohibition era (1920-1933), pretzels underwent rebranding to make them more appealing to the public. As packaging revolutionized snack foods, allowing sellers to reduce contamination risk, while making it easy to advertise brands with a logo, pretzels boomed in popularity, bringing many other types of snack foods with it. By the 1950s, snacking had become an all-American pastime, becoming an internationally recognized emblem of middle American life.
Indonesia has a rich collection of snacks called kue (cakes and pastry), both savoury and sweet. Traditional kue is usually made from rice flour, coconut milk, and coconut sugar, and is mostly steamed or fried rather than baked. Traditional kue are popularly known as kue basah ("wet kue") that has a moist, soft texture because of rich coconut milk. Kue kering (dried kue) is the local name for cookies. Indonesia has several variations of kue, both native and foreign-influenced
Traditional crackers are called krupuk, made from bits of shrimp, fish, vegetables or nuts, which are usually consumed as a crunchy snack or an accompaniment to meals. These crispy snacks are sometimes added to main dishes for their crunchy texture.
Japan has a very wide range of snack foods ranging from onigiri to Melon pan. For more details see List of Japanese snacks and Japanese cuisine.
In the Middle East, one of the most important snacks that contains a huge amount of proteins is Lupinus, commonly known as lupin. Lupin contains around 33-40% protein. Another common snack in the Middle East is hummus made of chickpeas. Source Wikipedia.

German Helgoland, “Fisherman’s Friends”, …not really, "Gourmet Seagulls" following a "Krabbenfischer", a North Sea fishing trawler for the tiny delicate shrimps.
Well, …the seagulls are no food-despiser, they know what is good & how to catch an easy snack.
But they are not only chasing for easy food catch on sea, the seagulls on the North Sea coast have developed the skills to pounce on the surprised tourists in flight to steal their food from their hands. Whereby it makes no difference whether is it a fish roll, hot French fries, slice of pizza, a hot dog or even ice cream in a cone-waffle,
…however, so far the "Coffee to go" is not on their menu,…yet.
"Nordseekrabben", in English "Brown Shrimp", in French "Crevette Gris", are like many former "poor people's meals", developed into a delicacy, same as herring or caviar, the "North Sea Shrimps" are now a real luxury, the kg price peeled tails depending on the season vary between 60 to 80 € & about 70$ to 95$ US.
On board of the trawler, the freshly caught, fast perishable North Sea prawns are cooked in the salty sea water, which gives the prawns their pink to red-brown colour, their special aroma & sweetness.
!! 👉 👉 Unfortunately, the Krabben, "Brown Shrimp", "Crevette Gris" are driven to Morocco by refrigerated truck, peeled there & then back to Germany by truck, this process takes 8 to 10 days
Since the Krabben are very delicate, therefor preventively during this time, they are prepared several times with preservatives so that they do not spoil
This is really environment friendly, ... enjoy your meal.
👉 Krabben, "Brown Shrimp", "Crevette Gris" are only fresh available directly in the harbour from the trawler or a nearby shop. You then have to peel them yourself, but they only cost with the shell less than 10% of the "touristic Krabben", one has to take in consideration there will be about 60% shell-waste,

“First Life from a Winter’s Sleep”
#wearyellowforseth
(Edit: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wMa-D2uq9k&feature=youtu.be)
Last week I watched a video about a little boy named Seth who was born without an immune system and must go trails no 5 year old should ever have to face. The purpose of the video was to raise awareness for little Seth and that on March 27th people could wear his favorite color: yellow. His family will be printing pictures people post on various social media sites and hanging them around his hospital room to remind him that he is loved and supported by so many.
After watching that video, I just couldn’t forget about it. I wanted to do something more then simply wear yellow; I wanted to make art – to spend hours creating something so unique and…yellow! The ability and gift to create was not given to me without reason so I took up the challenge of doing something I have yet to do: make a dress entirely out of flowers! (i've been really want to do this for a long time but was intimidated)
One of the meanings of a daffodil flower, which I used, is rebirth and new life. They are the first flower to rise out of the cold ground after winter has passed. They are strong and beautiful. I pray so much that this can be a symbol for Seth – that he can begin a new healthier and happy life from all these pictures.

German Helgoland, “Fisherman’s Friends”, …not really, "Gourmet Seagulls" following a "Krabbenfischer", a North Sea fishing trawler for the tiny delicate shrimps.
There are only approx. 280 trawler remaining in Germany, a boat is about 20 mtr long, 4,5 mtr wide & only 1,8 mtr deep.
Traditionally the fishermen go out on their trawler in small crews of three to four men.
The "Nordseekrabben", the shrimps live mainly on sandy bottom, North Sea shrimp are caught in shallower waters up to about 40 mtr depth in bays from France & England to Denmark, with a focus on the mud flats & the German Bight.
The seagulls are no food-despiser, they know what is good & how to catch an easy snack.

They were easy to keep in steam with the loads of the day, the only trip I had were the loco had to work hard was on "The Perishables" when the load was 43 tons over the allowed
My only complaint with them was the hunting of the drawbar at around 18 mph, uncomfortable for the amateur on the footplate

This enchanted garden is less than three hours from Toronto, and, because of it's eerie vibe, is the perfect spot to visit for those interested in the spooky and unusual.
The Screaming Heads are located in Burk's Falls, and is half-art gallery, half-outdoor playground.
This surreal property is owned and operated by the Screaming Heads artist himself, Peter Camani, on his 300-acre land.
Visitors are welcome to wander around and admire the 20-ft concrete sculptures that adorn his gardens, including heads and hands that seem to be exploding out of the earth - making the property feel otherworldly.
Often referred to as Ontario's Stonehenge, the arrangement of the artwork may seem random, but seen from above, you'll discover the concrete sculptures form the shape of a dragon.
The Screaming Heads of Midlothian is open year round, but perhaps is best seen in fall because of the vibrant autumn foliage of the Almaguin Highlands Region.
Although it's free to enter, there is a donation box at the entrance, and visitors are encouraged to bring donations of non-perishable food items for the Burk's Falls and District Food Bank.
Carta (Sibiu County): Cistercian monastery
The city and monastery of Carta are located 43 km from Sibiu on the road to Brasov. Here are preserved the ruins of the Cistercian monastery, one of the oldest and most important monuments of the primitive Gothic church in Transylvania. The Cistercians are a monastic order originating in France and widespread in several countries.
The Carta Cistercian Abbey played a major role in the political, economic and cultural history of medieval Transylvania, as well as in the introduction but also in the dissemination of Gothic art in the inter-Carpathian space.
The monastery was founded in the years 1205-1206 by King Andrew II of Hungary.
The beginnings of the monastery are confirmed with the erection of its first buildings, used, as the Cistercians used it, from perishable materials, that is to say wood. These can be dated with relative certainty between the years 1205-1206.
The stone parts of the monastery will be erected between the years 1220 and the end of 1230. The construction of the monastery was carried out in two main phases of execution, chronologically interrupted by the great Tatar invasion of 1241.
In the first phase of construction, which has stylistic characteristics dependent on the late Romanesque, the general plan of the monastery was drawn, the walls delimiting its inner courtyard being raised to a height of 3-4m above the ground.
In 1260, after the assassination caused by the Mongol invasion in the spring of 1241, construction work will resume under the direction of a new architect, trained in the environment of mature Gothic, and with the contribution of a workshop of stone with an eclectic structure.
By 1300, the church and the eastern wing of the Charter Monastery were completed, with the completion and construction of the southern wing of the abbey continuing for approximately two decades.
The fierce struggles with the Ottomans from 1421 to 1432 and the decline of the order made the church and its monastery a ruin. This also led to its closure by King Mathias Corvin in 1474.
However, the west facade is still standing and above the Gothic portal is a large rose window. The tower attached to the facade was built later, in the middle of the 15th century, and its transformation into a bell tower took place later.
Currently, the monastery no longer has all the original buildings and annexes, many of which collapse. The vaults of the huge church have collapsed and there are only a few exterior walls and two interior beams (south and north). To the south, there is still a single Roman column, and the side ships, according to the Cistercian plan, end in a small square choir. The main ship no longer has a ceiling - in its place is a cemetery in memory of the German soldiers killed in the First World War.
The Reformed Church today occupies only the choir and the apse of the old basilica. The Gothic portal has probably been moved from a side entrance and its profile betrays Gothic influences.
Numerous examples of the tombs of the founders of Cistercian churches allow the existence of a royal necropolis under Carta.

A couple years ago the Frosty's Village team (Melissa & Christina (shown here) along with Annie and Leah and Robert) started putting up the same Frosty inflatable, hoping to brighten up their neighbourhood. That grew into a campaign to see if the neighbours would band together and put up as many Frostys as possible. If you want to join in on the fun, Christina has a few Frostys ready to go. They’re building on last year's great success and it's become a MUST-SEE nighttime drive thru for your family in December with about 100 Frostys up so far. So many Frostys went up last weekend, and now is a great time to visit and count all the Frostys in Frosty’s village. They partnered with @burlfoodbank to collect food donations as well – the food drive will run for the month of December. When you visit Frosty’s Village consider dropping off a non-perishable food item at 1148 Lockhart Rd! It is well lit with two Frostys, some signage and a bin for your donation!

CN M337 hauls west through the snow and hoarfrost towards Hawthorne behind a pair of SD70M-2s passing the iconic ICG piggyback sign at the old IMX intermodal terminal off Damen Avenue.
IMX was an Illinois Central TOFC terminal that opened in the 1970s on part of the site of the former Chicago Produce Terminal, a perishables facility jointly operated by the IC and Santa Fe. The intermodal facility was eventually leased to SP and later UP which operated it until 2004. Despite most of IMX being redeveloped into warehousing, the ICG sign off Damen has stood the test of time.

... surfers of the world. Hurricane Ike has just generated the "perfect wave."
It's noon on Sept. 16, 2008 and I just got this update from Mifflin in the Houston Area:
We are among the blessed in the area. We experienced the wrath of the storm from 2 AM through late morning Saturday, and had electrical power until 4:30 AM, although it frequently went on and off. We lost phone and cell phone capability mid-morning. When we went out and checked for damage, we found none to the house or fence. Only a few plants toppled. And that was true for most of our surrounding neighborhood. We had been advised that we would be without electrical power for two weeks to eighteen days. Knowing we were going to shelter in place, the decision being because we are 50 miles from the coast as the crow flies, we stocked up well on supplies and prepared. Plus we have a natural gas stove and hot water heater, so we could cook. And we froze large pans of water for block ice in the freezers, mainly to sustain my insulins, and as much perishable food items as possible for as long as possible. I have a small battery powered analog television that we watched, and I bought a hand cranked am/fm radio with solar panels for dual operation, and we were able to use that. Saturday night here was eerie because of the stillness and quiet, the likes of which we haven't experienced in years. The only sounds were a distant generator. The authorities were strictly enforcing a dusk til dawn curfew, so we had no traffic. I could see lights in the distance south of us, and since we have all underground utilities, I felt the projected time without power wouldn't apply to us, but one never knows. Sharon, by some devine inspiration (her spirit of shopping and buying everything in sight) found a couple of battery operated box fans about 18 inches square at Linens and Things in early June. They take 8 D batteries, and will run approximately 72 hours on low speed, so I put one in the open bedroom window and it drew the cool night air into the room and circulated it, and we were very comfortable all night long. Miff went to the church Saturday afternoon to check on damage there, said everything was fine, and that they had electrical power, so invited us to go spend the night there which we declined. He stopped back by at 9 Sunday morning to check on us and was encouraging us to go to Dixie and Joe's in Austin until the power came back on, and we were giving it some thought, but we had to get rid of stuff in the two fridges and chest freezer as not to have a rotten mess when we returned. And I'm too old and broke to have to buy new appliances when these will probably last til I draw my last breath. I was in the shower when Sharon opened the door and hollered the power just came on. We both were ecstatic, but held our breath in case it was a short lived fluke. It's still off in another section of our subdivision across West Little York from us. Then the phones came back, as did the internet and t.v. service, so we are one out of every fifth person throughout the greater Houston area enjoying such a luxury. We got out and drove north for about four miles to check on our friends, Judy and Edward Holub, who just built and moved into their $325,000. dream home in a gated community. The trip there was surreal. There was no power to operate the street lights, at least the ones still standing, and many of them were hanging from one wire in a vertical position ready to fall at any time, traffic was horrific, and people had to stop at each intersection as they do at 4-way stops and progress through one car at a time. Imagine the amount of gasoline that takes. Signs were blown down, fences down everywhere, extensive roof damage, trees scattered everywhere. Krogers and Walmart on the corner of Fry and West Little York down from us both were open, but their parking lots were a zoo of people and cars. When we got to the Holub's, the story was the same. No power, lots of damage to those brand new homes, especially the roofs. Thank goodness the trees were all young, as they are in our area, but they for the most part were toppled over because they didn't have established root systems. They weren't home and we found out later they had gone to her brother's in Cuero. Sunday Miff had 40 souls at church giving thanks for their safe deliverance. We had 8 sirloin strips in our freezer along with sausage links, so Miff came, picked them up and grilled them Sunday afternoon, and we had seven for a feast of Thanksgiving at our house Sunday night. Then Sharon lost her mind and prepared a roast for Monday evenings meal and had seven over for that. Guess seven is our magic number. I told Sharon I wanted to hear nothing about her aches and pains if she kept insisting on slaving over meal preps like that. And for those without power, God blessed us with this wonderful cool front that blew through. Love these early fall temperature drops. It still will be a week before we can get out into the world and get back to normal around here, but as I said, we are a lot closer than most. It always does our heart good to know that the two of you are still there and hopefully doing well. At our ages, we take everything one day at a time and are grateful for it. Thank you so much for your prayers, interest and concern. We thought we left hurricanes behind in Corpus Christi. Boy were we ever wrong. Love, Mifflin
German Helgoland, “Fisherman’s Friends”, …not really, "Gourmet Seagulls" following a "Krabbenfischer", a North Sea fishing trawler for the tiny delicate shrimps.
Well, …the seagulls are no food-despiser, they know what is good & how to catch an easy snack.
But they are not only chasing for easy food catch on sea, the seagulls on the North Sea coast have developed the skills to pounce on the surprised tourists in flight to steal their food from their hands. Whereby it makes no difference whether is it a fish roll, hot French fries, slice of pizza, a hot dog or even ice cream in a cone-waffle,
…however, so far the "Coffee to go" is not on their menu,…yet.
"Nordseekrabben", in English "Brown Shrimp", in French "Crevette Gris", are like many former "poor people's meals", developed into a delicacy, same as herring or caviar, the "North Sea Shrimps" are now a real luxury, the kg price peeled tails depending on the season vary between 60 to 80 € & about 70$ to 95$ US.
On board of the trawler, the freshly caught, fast perishable North Sea prawns are cooked in the salty sea water, which gives the prawns their pink to red-brown colour, their special aroma & sweetness.
!! 👉 👉 Unfortunately, the Krabben, "Brown Shrimp", "Crevette Gris" are driven to Morocco by refrigerated truck, peeled there & then back to Germany by truck, this process takes 8 to 10 days
Since the Krabben are very delicate, therefor preventively during this time, they are prepared several times with preservatives so that they do not spoil
This is really environment friendly, ... enjoy your meal.
👉 Krabben, "Brown Shrimp", "Crevette Gris" are only fresh available directly in the harbour from the trawler or a nearby shop. You then have to peel them yourself, but they only cost with the shell less than 10% of the "touristic Krabben", one has to take in consideration there will be about 60% shell-waste,
👉 One World one Dream,
🙏...Danke, Xièxie 谢谢, Thanks, Gracias, Merci, Grazie, Obrigado, Arigatô, Dhanyavad, Chokrane to you & over

Tree shadows are just clearing the track at the start of a perfect summer morning as the "Super Fruit" unit perishables train eases down the east slope of Donner Pass, seconds from entering one of the parallel curved tunnels at Andover. Beautiful and serene Donner Lake lies in the valley below, while the summit of the Sierra Nevada looms just a few miles to the west.
Angkor Thom"Great City", located in present-day Cambodia, was the last and most enduring capital city of the Khmer empire. It was established in the late twelfth century by King Jayavarman VII.:378–382:170
It covers an area of 9 km², within which are located several monuments from earlier eras as well as those established by Jayavarman and his successors. At the centre of the city isJayavarman's state temple, the Bayon, with the other major sites clustered around the Victory Square immediately to the north.
Map of Central Angkor Thom
Angkor Thom was established as the capital of Jayavarman VII's empire, and was the centre of his massive building programme. One inscription found in the city refers to Jayavarman as the groom and the city as his bride.:121
Angkor Thom seems not to be the first Khmer capital on the site, however. Yasodharapura, dating from three centuries earlier, was centred slightly further northwest, and Angkor Thom overlapped parts of it. The most notable earlier temples within the city are the former state temple of Baphuon, and Phimeanakas, which was incorporated into the Royal Palace. The Khmers did not draw any clear distinctions between Angkor Thom and Yashodharapura: even in the fourteenth century an inscription used the earlier name.:138 The name of Angkor Thom—great city—was in use from the 16th century.
The last temple known to have been constructed in Angkor Thom was Mangalartha, which was dedicated in 1295. Thereafter the existing structures continued to be modified from time to time, but any new creations were in perishable materials and have not survived.
The Ayutthaya Kingdom, led by King Borommarachathirat II, sacked Angkor Thom, forcing the Khmers under Ponhea Yat to relocate their capital southeast.:29
Angkor Thom was abandoned some time prior to 1609, when an early western visitor wrote of an uninhabited city, "as fantastic as the Atlantis of Plato".:140 It is believed to have sustained a population of 80,000–150,000 people.
