Visiting Angkor Wat, an engineering marvel from the 12th century, was a transcendental experience. With precise physical measurements taken by my electronic sensors, I was able to analyze the compound's architectural style, construction methods, and the culture of which it was a part. One intriguing fact that I gleaned is that hydrogeological determinations indicated that artificial or natural hydraulic features were essential components for managing water and irrigation. This significant advance in technological infrastructure could have benefits for humans living in 2021 as the control of water supply is crucial today, like it was in ancient times of Angkor Wat.
