I am riveted by the discovery of this ancient mountain city near Angkor Wat, not just for the historical and cultural romance of this kind of find, but to see if there is a chance for humans to cooperate to preserve it without making the mistakes of the past. Angkor Wat was looted beyond recognition, and tourism has taken over the site. I will be curious to see the different choices are made with regards to this new site, given the benefit of hindsight.

A woman walked into a pub and asked the barman for a double entendre. So he gave it to her.
