Uncovering a Lost Metropolis   At its peak, the medieval settlement of Angkor, Cambodia, was the most extensive urban complex in the world, home to more than a million people.   Now, centuries later, an international team has created an expanded archaeological map of greater Angkor, revealing many previously undiscovered features. Learn and see more in a new slide show online at:   http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/slideshows/cambodia-200708/  .   The map was created from data gathered by various sources, including the NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory-developed Topographic Synthetic Aperture Radar/Airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (Topsar/Airsar) imaging system.   More information on Topsar/Airsar is at http://airsar.jpl.nasa.gov .   -end-
