  Learn more about the history of those countries. The topics addressed will be these: 
  Angkor Wat-- The temple was built as the state temple for the Khmer Empire at the demand of Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yaodharapura (, contemporary Angkor), the Khmer Empire's capital. It was constructed in the early 12th century to honor the Hindu god Vishnu, but by the end of the century, it had been changed to a Buddhist temple. 
  Angkor Wat is a fascinating structure, dating back hundreds of years, and it’s impressive how much of it has remained intact. 
  The Khmer Empire--Historians describe Cambodia as the Khmer State or the Angkorian Empire (Khmer:) from the 9th century to the 15th century, when it was a Hindu/Buddhist empire in Southeast Asia. The empire, which developed from the old societies of Funan and Chenla, governed and/or "vassalized" the majority of mainland Southeast Asia and parts of Southern China, covering from the suggestion of the Indochinese Peninsula northward to modern-day Yunnan province in China, and from Vietnam westward to Myanmar. The Khmer Empire was greater at its peak than the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire) that existed at the exact same period. 
  The Siamese-- Siam was just a much different name for what's now referred to as Thailand. The Siamese are the people who live there, though they're never ever called as such any longer. 
  Thailand is a fascinating country, with its own culinary arts, culture, history, royalty, infrastructure, and influence on the world. To learn more about these “Thai” people before they were called Thai, when they were Siamese, is to learn about those people’s roots.

  BLADE RUNNER 2049 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY DENIS VILLENEUVE 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Blade Runner 2049 is a neo-noir science fiction film directed by Denis Villeneuve, set 30 years after the events of the original Blade Runner (1982). The story follows K, a replicant blade runner played by Ryan Gosling, who uncovers a long-buried secret that could alter the balance between humans and replicants. As he investigates, K grapples with his own identity and purpose in a world where artificial beings struggle for autonomy. The film explores themes of humanity, memory, and artificial intelligence, set against a dystopian backdrop of environmental decay and corporate control, all while examining the complexities of existence. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  "Director Denis Villeneuve's first choice for the role of Niander Wallace was David Bowie, but sadly, he passed away before filming began." 
    
  "The opening scene where 'K' (Ryan Gosling) confronts Sapper Morton (Dave Bautista) mirrors an unused scene from the original Blade Runner (1982). In that scene, Deckard was supposed to shoot a Replicant and remove its artificial jaw, but the sequence was ultimately abandoned." 
    
  "To emphasize Joi's artificial nature, editor Joe Walker experimented with freezing her image for nine frames just before she responds to a question, creating a brief pause as if her processor was occupied. However, this approach felt forced, so it was dropped in favor of other visual cues, like her changing costumes."
