I am Cambodian. The major reason for the Empire downfall was the religious revolution. Cambodia went through many dark histories converting from Hinduism to Buddhism. The continuation of the religious battle and brotherhood bloodshed almost wiped out Cambodia from the world's map. My fellow Cambodian should remember and learn from our great ancestors and legacy of Hinduism.
Most people keep saying its made by Indians, but that is incorrect, yes, it was influenced by Hindu culture and religion, but if you were to say it was made by Indians than it would be like saying the Greeks built the Rome Empire which is incorrect. The Khmer empire is built by Khmer people.
@Nana N. Thanks for the great response . Yeah there are currently no records of a khmer writing system prior to the arrival of the indians, but they had a civilization which was recorded by hindu missionaries. It was believed that the prince of southern india married a khmer princess, thus creating a new age of empire.
@MercLex US we did have writings carved on stone walls but eventhough there's a few run down temples left, it's too old that it became unrecognizable let alone the writing even the carvings can barely be seen
just came back from there... You gotta be there to experience the massive miracle that you probably would never see anywhere else. Every single piece of stones has it is own drawing. I cannot figure out how this detailed art can be done back then

Visited Angkor before the Pandemic. Really an enigmatic ancient city you can fill like you are in ancient times. Beautiful and marvellous city very gigantic we did not even visited all of its vast temples
Because it's a Vishnu/Hindu temple, I wonder if the epic battles shown on the temple walls are about the Mahabarata and Ramayana instead of what's stated on the documentary (wars against Siam or Vietnam)?

In bali there are thousands of angkor wat in small to big size,even in every house there is small temple, because we are Hindu. And some the temple has a very similar architecture to angkor wat temple in general,
Wow! The images on the carvings are interesting. I will definitely have to visit this palace once this quarantine has been lifted. There is usually so much more to these ancient civilizations than what the documentaries give us.
All empires will come to an end, including the United States, China, and Russia. The US is only about 240 years old, and it already has a lot of political problems and on the verge of a second civil war. For the Khmer Empire to last for about 600 years is impressive.
That just goes for all civilitations, cities, countries, kingdoms. If an empire were to stay forever it would be every human working with each other in harmony, almost like watching bees flying around pollinating doing their jobs in peace with just about no disrubtions. The human race has put a knife to its own heart and has been pushing the blade into it for some time now. Everyone and i mean EVERYONE is a product of their environment, this goes to the most extreme lengths...

Believe the footages were made before the pandemics. Thanks to that. Hope this won't disturb your great work much. Angkor temples, the temples of Cambodia.
When the king converted to Buddhism the country turned from a nation of builders to a nation of philosophic beggars. The monuments to the Hindu gods were devoid of meaning and the quest for personal Nirvana was the most important thing. The ancient form of ‘lying flat’ being adopted by the modern day Chinese youth; Taoism replacing Confucianism.
The Baiyun template is amazing, I think it has 80 Buddha faces with different expression. The black/Grey sandstone makes any colors clothing pops. The 90's movie IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE 's ending was filmed at Angkor Watt I highly recommend it
I was there today, and as I was walking i thought of the last scene !! Totaly forgot it was there, thanks for the reminder ! Now i know why i was thinking of him wispering inside the tree !
How could no one see that huge construction across that body of water for centuries? It's magnificent but just like Mihue Pichu, it wasn't discovered until much later. It's just unimaginable that no one knew it was there.
Discovered? people were living in the vicinity of the temple all along, just because the Europeans set their eyes on the temple just like Columbus and his crew landing in North America and claiming it for the monarchy doesn't mean it never existed.
@@chrisphillips8742 EXACTLY.. THESE EUROPEANS ARE THE LAST PEOPLE YET WANT TO CLAIM EVERYTHING BECAUSE THEY ARE MAD THE WORLD EXISTED AND ALL KNOWLEDGE BEFORE THEM AND IT MESSES UP THERE WHITE SUPREMACY COMPLEX.

Found in the net. Recently there is a Tamil movie named PS-1, which tells about Chola empire. Tamil rulers did not build Angkor Wat. However, it was built under Tamil (Chola) rule. It was during the reign of Kulothunga I (Rajendra Chola’s son) that Suryavarman II ascended the throne in Cambodia. He too maintained friendly relations and had lot of trade relationships.
^ Thailand was not an established country at this time, nor was it built by strictly "Indians". False info Some historians believe that Jayavarman VII chose to convert Angkor Wat to Buddhism to symbolize his victory over the Cham, who were Hindu and who had previously occupied parts of Cambodia. Others speculate that the conversion was more pragmatic, as Buddhism was gaining popularity among the Khmer people and Jayavarman VII saw it as a way to solidify his rule and win the support of the populace
Like saying that the church ‘ Notre Dame de Paris” in France is Roman catholic, when the fact is that it was built by the French catholic and architects in France. The similarity here is only the same religion, that is Rome and France has the same religion. This is the same thing with Cambodia and India, they had the same religion Hindu. And all those ca. four thousand temples were built by different Khmer Kings. By the way there are 7 thick volumes of inscriptions from various Cambodian temples that have been archived and photographed by French archeologists, and translated. The inscriptions are mainly in Sanskrit and Cambodian language and only one or two in tamil.
Sumeru is the invisible mountain which is the central structure of the vedic cosmology which connects Bhuloka (earthly plane ) to other planes of existance.
To know it was built without tools like today only precisely fitting them in together tightly not to come apart. Carving it eloquently and carefully as it is. Only in 32 years, although built by many many slaves under the King. 32 years is crazy to think when they said cathedrals take couple hundred years.
The most stupid question asked here is Why was it built in the middle of the jungle. They can not understand that jungles grow round all places. When the humans disappear.
I think I would have respected buddhism much more if they left that temple as it was and disfigured the statues it would have been a huge tourist attraction for hindus all over the world. I don't understand why people do this they can't respect other civilization it's just a shame. Wasn't buddha an indian and as for buddha statues are all over india no one goes and destroy them and I thought Buddhists were peaceful I guess I was wrong
Your not Cambodian nor scientist so don’t assumes that’s these temples Angkor Wat had never been tempted by invaders as neighbors countries of all kinds of destructions but still the King is able to maintain he’s kingdoms . Our ancestors use to tell us these palace and territories it’s full of precious stones , gems etc… and if there’s some of these statues has been destroy with deformation disfigures it’s also during Kmers Rouges era it’s believed they are intend to find the treasure most of them are hidden between the statues. That’s why some statues got damage even though we colonized by French , Cambodia Angkor wats has seen so many lost and thief’s are stealing lots sacred belonging in the temple . I’m so fascinated by these Cambodians architects the way their build this phenomenal Empires . Long live Cambodia and our beloved Angkor Wats 🥰🙏🏽🥰🙏🏽🥰🙏🏽🥰🌏🌏🌏
Westerners have always miscalculated about timing of Hindu architecture because they don't know Hindu history and Hindu old scriptures on which construction of this temple is based..this temple must be older than calculations because otherwise it's details would have been in Indian old scriptures.. also construction must have spanned over generations..now carving of Buddha isn't as much in details as temples itself...which suggests that there must be change in dynasty which destroyed original values of temple itself... It shows political use of religions by kings n rulers.. because why Buddha following rulers didn't build separate temple rather than keeping idols...which is against teaching of Buddha ( actual most peaceful religion of the World)
@Guem Ohani Buddhists are from india that is another matter that many people do not follow but this culture is from india so it means it is also a hindu heritage
@@RSANGKORCAPITALGROUPCoLt-xs9zt haha I am an indian ( hindu ) don't needa study about hindus and Buddhist religion was formed in india you deep study them ok hahaha
@@RSANGKORCAPITALGROUPCoLt-xs9zt but the battle shown in that temple is maha(great) bharth(anceint name of india) its mahabharth battle of india but not khmer battle or anything to do with combodia, these were ones part of anceint indian kingdoms
This is so fascinating. It seems to me why would they give all these clues if they didn't want something to be found with in this temple or under. Could this be a tomb or hidden library of ancient scrolls. It would be a jail of some kind for something they didn't want loosed ounce imprisoned. Makes the imagination go why haven't they tried To open the box. Could this be pandoras box ???? So fascinating.
This Hindu nation was a highly civilised nation , the Hindu temple was just the proof that the Hindu Civilisation was a very advanced Civilisation , Khmer was deeply civilisationally connected to the Indian kingdoms .
It's a Hindu temple of Lord Brahma buddist people don't wear jewelry and all the face above temple is wearing a jewelry and have four face which is of Lord Brahma So please spread awareness.
8 mos without a single morsel of rain?! Too "unhealthy" for a tropical country. Key is weekly rainfall especially in the summertime. EF3 TORNADOES ARE TOTALLY INTOLERABLE!!!!!
This city is also mentioned in Ramayan...the country Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia is mentioned in Ramayan from where vanars came to help lord rama to win Lanka to free Maa Sita. It is also mentioned the city of Angad and arjur the son's of King Bali
This country was from starting was hindu country they use to worship Surya( sun) and the nine planets and shiva. Later Buddhist conversation and later muslims... British only wanted to show what they wanted.... lot of Chinese traveler's have revealed about the culture and about how wast Hinduism was. But Christians always hide all facts and only showed what they felt should been tell to the world
One explorer called the Khmer people barbarians, despite building such a grand city. Then we hear they had slavery in a big way and they had punishments that must obviously be called barbaric. A great and glorious civilization of religious extremists, slave masters, slaves and yes, barbarians. We should be glad their society actually became civilized, eventually.
This documentary is at best a nostalgic depiction of how the Khmer empire would have been in their peak through western eyes. The names of the kings who build these magnificent temples such as Suriavarman, Jayavarnan, Indravarman, Yasovarman, Rajendravarman are identical to the Pallava kings who ruled what is now the Southern Indian states of Tamil Nadu and Andhra between 6-9 AD. It's interesting to note the demise of the Pallavas and rise of the mighty Chola's coincided with building of these temples in Cambodia around the same time. The walls of temple are decorated with stone carvings depicting the great battles of Mahabartham and Ramayana of the hindu folklore. More ever even to this day the Cambodians practice a form of dance called the Apsara's (Deva nangai)which is very similar to the ancient tamil classical dance Barathanatiyam. Khmer history is conveniently woven around the building of the temples in the 8th century AD. There is no pre Angkoran history except this magnificent temple was build by Suryavarman in the 8th century AD. Could it be that the seafaring Pallavas landed in Cambodia to escape the wrath of the rising Chola Empire? Could it be that the great Rajendra Cholan in his quest to wipe out the remnants of the Pallavas mistakenly landed in Java - present day Indonesia - and defeated the Sri Vijaya empire that was ruling the island of Java at that time.
here we go again with the stupid Indian nationalist sentiments. are you trying to insult the Khmer people by attempting to usurp the accomplishments of their ancestors? show me a similar structure in India
12:00 "The largest (Make believe) city in the World, Ankor Wat. Incorrect! Ankor Wat was built by our 1st parents; 1st Father, Sun-Sunlight causes gravity and All matter is Positive and Negative charges, Air is a positive charge. 1st Mother, Eden/Earth. Erde, Erden, Eden German for dirt. The Entire planet is Eden that All Terrans UNDERSTAND Instructed in school. I am J.Terran the only Terran to be born on Eden/Earth 52 years old.
Not built in 39 years (impossible - they would have had to cut, move and carve one ton of rock every minute). Nor was it built 800 years ago. There are animals carved into the walls that have been long extinct, a million years and more. Cambodians did not build this any more than sand gypsies built the Pyramids.
We don’t know anything! All the worlds ancient temples are beyond our level of understanding. The truth would be a massive culture shock... Better leave things as they are

Is two Religion Hindu and Buddha read the real Khmer history not from French or India
We have our own culture and tradition , please deep study more and more
Westerners have always miscalculated about timing of Hindu architecture because they don't know Hindu history and Hindu old scriptures on which construction of this temple is based..this temple must be older than calculations because otherwise it's details would have been in Indian old scriptures.. also construction must have spanned over generations..now carving of Buddha isn't as much in details as temples itself...which suggests that there must be change in dynasty which destroyed original values of temple itself... It shows political use of religions by kings n rulers.. because why Buddha following rulers didn't build separate temple rather than keeping idols...which is against teaching of Buddha ( actual most peaceful religion of the World)
Carbon dating will accurately provide age of any structure. Therefore your statement is not true.
This is a greater Hindu culture
@Guem Ohani Buddhists are from india that is another matter that many people do not follow but this culture is from india so it means it is also a hindu heritage
there are Khmer's culture and tradition, you are most welcome to seek and search more history from our belove Khmer country (Cambodia )
@@kushagrakumarmishra2509 please deep study about Hindu and Buddhist history
@@RSANGKORCAPITALGROUPCoLt-xs9zt haha I am an indian ( hindu ) don't needa study about hindus and Buddhist religion was formed in india you deep study them ok hahaha
@@RSANGKORCAPITALGROUPCoLt-xs9zt but the battle shown in that temple is maha(great) bharth(anceint name of india) its mahabharth battle of india but not khmer battle or anything to do with combodia, these were ones part of anceint indian kingdoms
This is so fascinating.
It seems to me why would they give all these clues if they didn't want something to be found with in this temple or under.
Could this be a tomb or hidden library of ancient scrolls.
It would be a jail of some kind for something they didn't want loosed ounce imprisoned.
Makes the imagination go why haven't they tried To open the box.
Could this be pandoras box ????
So fascinating.
This Hindu nation was a highly civilised nation , the Hindu temple was just the proof that the Hindu Civilisation was a very advanced Civilisation , Khmer was deeply civilisationally connected to the Indian kingdoms .
khmer civilisation that just happened to follow Hinduism. it has nothing to do with India

This city is also mentioned in Ramayan...the country Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia is mentioned in Ramayan from where vanars came to help lord rama to win Lanka to free Maa Sita. It is also mentioned the city of Angad and arjur the son's of King Bali
This country was from starting was hindu country they use to worship Surya( sun) and the nine planets and shiva. Later Buddhist conversation and later muslims... British only wanted to show what they wanted.... lot of Chinese traveler's have revealed about the culture and about how wast Hinduism was. But Christians always hide all facts and only showed what they felt should been tell to the world
សូរយវរ្ម័ន សូរិយាវង្ស mean in khmer is the Sun

One explorer called the Khmer people barbarians, despite building such a grand city. Then we hear they had slavery in a big way and they had punishments that must obviously be called barbaric. A great and glorious civilization of religious extremists, slave masters, slaves and yes, barbarians. We should be glad their society actually became civilized, eventually.
I don't believe so. I do have the Khmer's History book that I owned.
This documentary is at best a nostalgic depiction of how the Khmer empire would have been in their peak through western eyes. The names of the kings who build these magnificent temples such as Suriavarman, Jayavarnan, Indravarman, Yasovarman, Rajendravarman are identical to the Pallava kings who ruled what is now the Southern Indian states of Tamil Nadu and Andhra between 6-9 AD. It's interesting to note the demise of the Pallavas and rise of the mighty Chola's coincided with building of these temples in Cambodia around the same time. The walls of temple are decorated with stone carvings depicting the great battles of Mahabartham and Ramayana of the hindu folklore. More ever even to this day the Cambodians practice a form of dance called the Apsara's (Deva nangai)which is very similar to the ancient tamil classical dance Barathanatiyam.
Khmer history is conveniently woven around the building of the temples in the 8th century AD. There is no pre Angkoran history except this magnificent temple was build by Suryavarman in the 8th century AD. Could it be that the seafaring Pallavas landed in Cambodia to escape the wrath of the rising Chola Empire? Could it be that the great Rajendra Cholan in his quest to wipe out the remnants of the Pallavas mistakenly landed in Java - present day Indonesia - and defeated the Sri Vijaya empire that was ruling the island of Java at that time.
here we go again with the stupid Indian nationalist sentiments. are you trying to insult the Khmer people by attempting to usurp the accomplishments of their ancestors? show me a similar structure in India

Such an ashamed that Thailand trying to copy the architecture by building a copy one.
It's in Buriram Cambodian/Thai dna
It's impossible to understand Hinduism

It was Maharaj Sudakshina of the Kingdom of Kambodja built the Great Angkor Wat Puri
Not built in 39 years (impossible - they would have had to cut, move and carve one ton of rock every minute). Nor was it built 800 years ago. There are animals carved into the walls that have been long extinct, a million years and more. Cambodians did not build this any more than sand gypsies built the Pyramids.
no sandstone structure can last a million years in tropical climates. 🤦🏼♂️
And how did they dig that mote it is 14 feet deep that is a lot of Earth
We don’t know anything! All the worlds ancient temples are beyond our level of understanding. The truth would be a massive culture shock... Better leave things as they are
jayavarman melaka..
The gaint had left hundred yr built before flood..they was horoscope people ..want to know read before flood

It was built by an ancient civilization, just like the pyramids before Adam and Eve.
The water turned undrinkable and they got sick.
