Legions of male infantry and ele- phant cavalry completed the royal retinue. But Angkor was doomed. War-like Thai tribesmen—an- cestors of the present-day Si- amese—invaded Cambodia in 1313, 1351, 1420 and 1473, Each time Angkor was sacked and as many as 90,000 slaves carried into bondage. The Khmer kings saw the handwriting on the wall. The mighty city of Ang- kor was abandoned to the jun- gle. For centuries Angkor was a lost} city. Occasionally, explorers led! by native guides stumbled upon the incredible sight of a great, ghost city in the wilderness. But not until the turn of the 20th cen- tury was an organized study and restoration begun by the French. Angkor’s fame spread in pre- war years. Hundreds of tourists flocked to nearby Riem Reap to tour the ruins. Today Siem Reap serves as a convalescent center | for French soldiers wounded in Indochina.

Miles of narrow gauge railway had to be laid across the bog. Electric power from the Shannon hydro-electric plant was installed. Workshops, | foundries, and hostels for work- ers were erected and a compre- hensive scheme of drainage was carried out. A remarkable machine called a “bagger.” automatically cuts, macerates and spreads the turf on top of the bog at the rate of 350 tons a day. Driven by electric motors, the bagger weighs 45 tons and is 60 feet long. Seven baggers now in use at Clonsast have no difficulty in coping with submerged bog oak, and each has an output of 120,- 000 tons a year.
