A report on the newest discoveries on Phnom Kulen plateau, published by the prestigious Washington Museum magazine.

This is a journalistic account on the explorations led by archeologists Jean- Baptiste Chevance and Damian Evans high up on the Phnom Kulen plateau, in quest for a pre-Angkorian city, Mahendraparvata, built during the 10^th century by King Jayavarman II.
