Lecture 19 - Borobadour, Angkor, and SE Asia

Welcome to the nineteenth lecture!

This lecture is about the development of trade in India and China.

From 400 CE onward trade between India and China began to expand markedly. By 800 we see the emergence of spectacular buildings, such as Borobodur (Indonesia) and Angkor Wat (Cambodia), the first a Buddhist temple, the second Hindu. Both structures were engineering marvels as well as religions sites.
