(Breuckmann: Meersburg, Germany) -- About 150 years ago, archaeologists in Cambodia made a spectacular discovery: the temple ruins of Angkor Wat.

In cooperation with the Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing (IWR) at the University of Heidelberg, French archaeologists have now solved this historical mystery.
