The first city in the Angkor, Cambodia, area founded by king Yashovarman in 889 AD. It was Cambodia's capital until it was abandoned in the 15th century. His temple mountain, now called Bakheng, was built on a natural hill that overlooked the city, the rice-growing plain, and the Tonle Sap. Yashovarman built a large reservoir nearby; the city wall of Yashodharapura measured 2.5 miles (4 km) on each side.
