The Khmer Influence refers to the cultural, architectural, and artistic impact of the Khmer Empire, which thrived in Southeast Asia from the 9th to the 15th centuries. This influence is most notably seen in the construction of magnificent temples, such as Angkor Wat, which showcases advanced engineering and intricate carvings. The Khmer Empire also contributed to the spread of Hinduism and Buddhism in the region, shaping the spiritual landscape of modern-day Cambodia and neighboring countries. In addition to architecture, the Khmer Influence extended to language, art, and agriculture. The Khmer language, still spoken today, has roots in the empire's history. Traditional Khmer dance and music reflect the empire's rich cultural heritage, while agricultural practices, such as rice cultivation, were advanced during this period. Overall, the Khmer Influence remains a significant part of Southeast Asian identity and history.
