Cambodia's Angkor Wat
has been digitally mapped for the first time, allowing people to visit the
World Heritage Site from the comfort of their armchair using Google Street
View. The project is part of a growing trend aimed at Internet users who might
otherwise never have the chance to visit the cultural and architectural wonders
of the world. Google took more than a million photos of Angkor -- the result is
90,000 360-degree views of more than 100 temples. Street View allows web users
to zoom in on an area, and then explore. The Angkor Archaeological Park
contains the remains of the different capitals of the Khmer Empire, dating from
the 9th to the 15th century.
