520			_aThe text reflects the latest opinions of the leading academics yet has been carefully edited to be concise and accessible to the reader. Virtual reconstructions of the ruins as they would have appeared in their heyday better enable you to interpret what remains today. Extensive collaboration between the artist and the academic community have resulted in the most accurate and wide-ranging visual reconstruction so far attempted. With this work the casual visitor can better appreciate the temples as the original designers intended they be seen. Period photographs provide a valuable insight into another chapter of the history of the monuments and a window onto work from the early years of the 20th century to stabilise and restore the sites.
