I was listening to “the fall of Civilizations Podcast” and wanted to learn more about the Khmer empire, I really like your vlog style run down of things. Very informative in a quick, get to the point, fashion. I love that your also in the location! This is amazing, you deserve more views. Thanks for making these videos, keeping them up for new comers like me to find and I can’t wait to watch all your others :) very informative!
khmer people , I am khasi, a tribe in India .we are believed to be originating from the Khmers . your language culture and most of everything is almost similar like ours . Do visit your descendants, currently inhabiting northeast India .
I am Khmer and have been doing research on our indian roots. I noticed lots of similarities with the Tamil culture and my culture for example we have the same holidays and some similar names. Thank you for this new piece of information!! i will look into it.
Sancyvia Lyngdoh: My Son, My Brother, My Descendants today we're your ancestor are too busy fighting each other, we can't even find where to breath normally. Forgive us, once we're ready and back in the modern business, we'll take care of you, meanwhile, please help embracing the cultures and history we share on your land.
misssunshine11 ,Kalinga(Orissa) and Tamil cultures had enormous influence on south east Asian States...Tamil pallava kingdom had family relations with khemer ,champs kingdoms and they were called "naga vamshi" kshatriyas ...the Indian rulers were of "surya vamshi" and "Chandra vamshi" kshatriyas.....old Malayan scripts were influences by Tamil brahmin scripts..the 'kalinga' area of India have a festival called "Bali yatra" or the journey towards Bali...Thailand,Cambodia,Vietnam,Indonesia ,Malaysia,southern Philippines were all part of a greater indic influence...its really sad ,seeing the present pathetic condition of India ,conquered and ruled for over 800 years ,people ignore about their countrie's glorious past..lacking self esteem,hygiene,discipline..and many convert to semitic religions without even knowing what their forefathers were practising and then starting to abuse own culture..!!
I am now a fan of the Nomadic Professor. The Seven Cities of Delhi, Who Are The Thais and now this one. I wish I had seen this video before visiting Seam Reap.
I had been following the nomadic professor’s brilliant lecture tours around various places of interest all around the globe.His own unique way of teaching history to lay men is excellent.
I love this channel! So awesome to hear about these lesser-know places around Asia! The detail is remarkable! I heard that the canals around Angkor were designed to lessen the weight of the stones. Also, some of the stone is lighter, so it doesn't sink.
Sovanda Ket lmfao you funny kiddo. Most of Khmer history is a lied water down by White Yapheth seeds. Khmer /Khom-mae aboriginal to Cambodia/Kambujadas (mean Son Of Kam in Samkirt). Nagar Vat (Angkor Wat water down term ) built around 900-1200 B.C not 1200 A.D taught by your Western master. Oldest mention of Kambujadas in samkirt dated back 5000 B.C (over 7,000 years ago) and yes we witness the great flood mention in the Bible and samkirt too.... DEVIDA IS DIVA IN ENGLISH....
@@Kimbuja777 I'm Khmer buddy!! Plus its mention in Samkirt (Kambujadea) and the Western Bible (Judah /Yudas /Judeas Kingdom split from Northern Kingdom Thailand after the death of King Solomon/Suryavarman) !! Khmer dying customs also found in ancient Egypt around 1200 B.C called Kau Jok while it dead in ancient Egypt (RUclips it). King Tut/Tot/ Young (Small in Khmer) Ankha /Angkor /Nagkor (Kingdom) Mon/Mun = Small Kingdom Of Mon (in Khmer). King Tut was mixed Egyptain and Khmer bloodline this is why he was murder. This also explain why you see braids on Khmer monuments like Leper (in Hebrew Leper mean King Of All Israel) statue. Here the funny part , Khmer New Year landed on Nissan (April) month when Mose freed his people from Egypt (same month)..... Buddha title in South and Se-Asia Preah Putah / Budd while Mose was Ptah/ Punt??
Good oral history teller. Thank you professor for sharing good Khmer history to the world. Just additional information, Theravada Buddhism has been in Cambodia since the 2nd AD or prehab early than that when Cambodia was known as Norkor Phnom or Funan. There were a few intelligent Khmer Buddhist monks who went to translate thousand Buddhist books to Chinese in the 5 BC. One of those monk was Ven. Sanghavara, Sanghavaraman or Sanghapala សង្ឃបាល ឬ សង្ឃវរ្ម័ន in Khmer, known in Chinese as Sanji Polo. He translated a book called Vimuttimagga វិមុត្តិមគ្គ or "Path of Freedom" from a Pali or Sanskrit into Chinese. The original Pali or Sanskrit book was believed to have lost, the only book left is the one in Chinese text which many scholars have used it to translate into English and their own languages. Thus, it means Buddhism has been in Cambodia for centuries.
Proff, check the similarities between Khmer history and chola dynasty. Check out the man made lake in chola dynasty and irrigation system. Veeranam lake.
According to Khmer custom, all temple builders must not a slave. They must be a honorable people. Slaves were serving as caretakers to maintain the temple to earn their status in their next life. According to Chinese diplomat, the guard didn't allow any former convict or even thieves to enter the temple gate. How could they employed slave to build the temple?
Just like in Egypt they were very highly respected and skilled workers . You wouldn't want just anybody build you a house even if it is free now imagine a structure like a pyramid haha
I remember reading somewhere that the artists and stone carvers had to be best of the BEST and it would mean great honor for his or her family. That could explain the complex beautiful stone carvings all over the temples.
In India and in the East the concept of slavery never existed. The concept of Dasa or servant was totally different and more like a paid service where the Dasa or Servant could ask for freedom by paying of the debt etc. Mostly the Dasa or servants could easily reach higher status depending upon their knowledge and hard work. The Concept of slavery as found in Middle East and west was most inhumane where person of different ethnicity were subjugated for worse treatment throughout their life with no release till death. The slavery became more prevalent after Muslim invasions. Some how this aspect is never highlighted by western historians who claim to show western civilisations or society as more advanced as compared to the Indian or its eastern neighbours.
Demon William you are right ? I think u are foreigners not Khmer pp. but ur education is acceptable. Khmer is not a slave just not other said, they look down on Khmer pp just because they jealous of this origin culture. All the temple were built by Khmer pp, Khmer citizens, not slave from other countries or where. They have skilled before they build they have learn even the carvings stone skill from 2 universities, Barphrom or Taphrom just like u see in this video and one more is Preah Khan temple if u come visit Cambodia don’t forget to visit these universities. Don’t believe in history in wiki. It’s wrote by France. They don’t know about the real Khmer history.

@Mustafa Alam India isn't your ancestor name but the British colonizers title. It don't belong to India but Indian Subcontinental family dummy. Indian is in denial to see the biggest Santana Dharma Temple in Cambodia aka Greater India which our native tongue is apart of Indian family. You guys still believed Indian prince ventured into kambujadeas/cambodia /Suvarnipumi (in Samkirt, Pali and Vedas) in 100 A.D?

mr mustard Khmer Kigdom older than that brother. Going by samkirt we existed longer than 7,000 (including Buddhism way of life) and witness the great flood. We were in Egypt known as Kemet but main stream science won't admit this smh..
Google Wikipedia Zhou Daguan (The Custom of Cambodia) Zhou Daguan was a Chinese diplomat who lived in Angkor for 1 year from 1296-1297. Zhou Daguan stated, "From the king down, the men and women all wear their hair wound up in a knot, and go naked to the waist, wrapped only in a cloth. When they are out and about they wind a larger piece of cloth over the small one." This was all types of social class. Trosok Peam (Sweet Cucumber) the Royal Gardener who killed the king and proclaimed himself as king. The slaves are now free and from then now there ate now Sanskrit inscription documented recorded from then on.
Hi, Little Help Please... Was Jayavarman II a hostage in Srivijaya or Sailendra or Sanjaya? My prob is Srivijaya and Sailendra was Buddhist kingdom/Empire and the only one that was Hindus was Sanjaya and at that time Khmer Empire (Jayavarman II) was Hindus.
You know Buddhism isn't a religion but way of life just like Santana Dhamra (water down term) Hinduism created by British Empire? Khmer people been practicing Buddhist way of life before Christ birth. In 3rd centary, we went and translated scriptures and brought many mon khmer instruments to ancient China which still in used today.....
And no we wasnt . When Champa King conqured Cambodia, Khmer King Suryavarnman left Malaysia and formed armys acrossed the land and retook the Kingdom. Malaysian customs also similar to Mon Khmer too. Oldest Hindu statue created by Mon Khmer dated 2000 B.C while they claimed Indian prince venture into Cambodia and spread Hinduism in 500 B.C to 100 A.D?? CTFU while smfh......
@@sohkathatch4081 interesting conversation. I am a Malay and would like to investigate Malay and Mon Khmer connections. How can I contact you for discussions?
@@sohkathatch4081 and @hello Hi I don't think y'all ever visited the country. There are different group of Khmer people who pronounces Khmer differently. He's pronouncing Khmer the correct way. Your way of pronouncing it is correct too. There are many different types of accent and dialect in the Khmer language. You should visit the country, it might open your mind.
Eric Lee, whatever, but its true that almost all South East Asian and East Asian countries have the Mongoloaid race but they have adopted Indian culture like Hinduism & Buddhism and these two religions inspired them two adapt their regional religion like Taoism etc.
That's not entirely correct. South East Asian countries have cultural & linguistic traiditons of India. But genetically both are different sets of people.
Schrödinger's Cat,true that..but during the economic, cultural,lingstic and religious exchanges some DNA exchange too could have taken place(in a minimal quantity)...just like how in moderndays too may port and economic towns have some mixed population..
Yes, nobody really knows how ancient people really built these great monuments, whether they were built by slaves or not. If the builders were slaves, could they build with such devotion and love? Maybe it was part of worship. They really thought that the king was divine so they came together to build it for this god king. The alien theorists would say they had helps from outer space. It's all speculations, really. We don't really know.
Hi Professor- The Siamese in Ayudthaya period were the Mix blood of Tai(Thai) , Mon , Old Khmere, Loas & the Thai people from the South. You missed this Information. Therefore, the Rise of Thai ( Siamese) kingdom happened because the compromise in political powers among those who already lived in this region( Mon, Thai , Old Khmer and The Thai from the southern Kingdom of Nakornsri Thammarat.) The Siamese kings ( who had infact , 25-50 %Khmer blood ) accepted some old Khmer culture into their royal court. In around year AD 1440 a Siamese King went to defeat Angkor Wat and brought all its Citizens including The Angkor wat royals to Thailand. ( From around this period the Khmer kingdom had been under Siamese power till around AD 1935 . )
Also another interesting thing not many remember. The Funan kingdom that preceded the Khmer Empire was founded by a Naga Queen Neang Neak. The people of Funan who legend said were Nagas are probably the Mon or closely related. The Naga of Funan are probably related to the Naga people of Nagaland in India. All have stories saying they came from Yunnan in southern China. Who else came from Yunnan? The Tai or Thai. Naga, Mon, Thai may share the same Yunnan Hill Tribes ancestory. Not sure if Chenla/Khmer were also originally another Yunnan Naga tribe or came from elsewhere, but the Chinese recorded Chenla as being a vassals of Funan before later rebelling and conquering Funan and founded Khmer Empire.
I don't agree on the part where he described that Khmer Hindu kings were oppressive towards their subject and the peasants were denied many basic rights and the whole society was hereditary. Therefore, there were mass conversions from Hinduism to Theravada Buddhism to evade the social hierarchy. Its totally wrong. Both Hinduism (Vaishavaites and Shaivites) and Buddhism co-existed among Khmer kings and the Khmer kings switched back and forth among these faiths. For example, Suryavarman converted to Vaishnavite Hinduism from Shaivite and thus dedicated the Angkor Wat to Vishnu. Similarly, Indravarman converted to Buddhism later and Jayavarman II was Shaivist. Similarly, the subjects switched between these faiths according to the faith of the kings without any mass conversions and hierarchical oppressions!
This guy doesn't really know most of what he's talking about. Even scholars don't know, so don't take it literally. He's not a professor. Don't take everything you see in the internet as truth. Do your own reading, if you're interested. This is just his point of view he learned from someone else.
Westerners were always mentioned of using slave to build sacred temple or such in Cambodia. In Khmer belief (until these days), building sacred is a step closer to Gods or Heaven. How could they forced slave to do such work? In their tradition, if the person cannot or having no time for sacred duty, one can hire somebody to do it on their behalf and shared the deeds together. By understanding this tradition, one would understand of having no force labor in building sacred temple. However, they were having a group called Pol of God which is meant "army or people of God". This group is a slave of God who were responsible for maintaining those temples. Most of these people were prisoners of war and from many disadvantage groups or donated personal slave to under temple's or religious authority.
Demon William The truth is everyone are joining to build the temples which including women and animals (elephants). Thousands of lives were also perished because of the boulders.
Tarwin Wannatham: Even if the Khom mixed with the Thais, they couldn't rise to greatness as they once had in Angkor, because to lead the Thai people was very difficult, they're ungrateful, wicked, and worse than robber to help them rise up again to equate the Golden Era of Angkor.
@@KhmerKandal Gtfo!! The truth? First of all its Nagkor Vat not your Angkor Wat (French water down pronouction) kiddo 🤣😂👍🤦♂️. Look at how Thai pronouced their kingdom(and they borrowed word from Mon Khmer and Samkirt)!! I bet you believed these Westerner claiming Nagkor Vat built 13 centuary too smh. In samkirt, our acenstor claimed they've practice Buddhist way of life over 3000 to 4000 (While Western claimed 2500) years and Siddartha wasn't the first but last to reached enlightenment, but these Westerner want to teaches us Buddhism started with Prince Siddhartha instead smh.
@@vattanaktv5082 We lead them fine until we was cursed. This cursed also happen around Chinese migration. Thai first ruler wasn't Thai siam but Chinese who left China because of Mongolian expansion.........
Great history lesson, thanks for giving Khmer their due. Often times these little countries which once were great empires got swallowed up by their aggressive neighbors and some don't even live to tell about it, in our modern day term "wiped off the map". I sea Southeast Asian as one tribe just by looking at their facial features. The Khmer, Malaysian, Indonesian, Philippines, Siamese and people of Champa. Then the Chinese blood seeped in and now they all looked Chinese, well, the upper-crust of these societies anyway.
The secret to move stones in Angkor period was from Vedic Sound Sanskrit language by using the knowledge of gravity : 1 - to raise a stone is by putting a wedge right in the middle of the stone and then seesaw the stone and then as the stone is seesawed keep adding more wedges until one get the high desired... 2 - to move the stone from one place to another is by walking it just like you move a big fridge into a corner and the Khemaras had never used the Pi to calculate for the Pi was not absolute... If one would observe very closely the ancient Hindu temples in India one would see that these temples are second to none in Art and Sciences and Mathematics...
Camflow Snk Dont make me laughs smh. You taking note from white Yapheth seeds? Same seed came to Cambodia/Kambujadas and distorted our forefathers history and legacy? Nagar Vat turn into Angkor Wat? It was built around 900-1200 B.C but they want to lied in our face claiming it 1200 A.D? Our history is depicted in the Bible King Suryavarman is Kimg Solomon due to languages barrier. Kambu-jadas(Judah) Cambo-dia , Cambo-dge and Kampu-chea . No matter how many time they try to water down our name the Judah/Jadas/Dia/Chea / Dge. Khmer customs found on Egyptians monument 1200 B.C....
Khmer and Mon people arrived at mainland southeast Asia over 2,000 years ago. First Khmer kingdom was Funan(1st-8th century), Chenla(8th-10th century) and Khmer(9th century to today). Most today's Khmer are Mon-Khmer with a mix of Negritos.
Hey friends I am komal sama kamboj(kamboja). The people of kambojas live in kamboja country near gandhara in 32000 bc according to ramayana. After that the great kambojas take part in mahabharta side of kaurves(sudhikshin kamboja and chandavarma kamboja etc) in 5000 bc. After that the raja (king) kumbhu(kamboja) lost there land and go to the another part of Hindustan(india) on that time Cambodia is part of Hindustan and after that raja kumbhu ruled in kambhojiya (kambodiya). Kambojas is a chandervanshi kshtraya. The great king Cyrus son of cambysis(kamboja) ruled in parisa. There was many kambojas king in many part like Tajikistan, uzebeksthan, Iran, badakshan, Parisian, odisa, Bihar, Bengal, gujrat, kabol, Kashmir, kafirstan, irak, kamboja country in ramayana and Mahabharata, Karnataka, Afghanistan, pakistan, tibetat, Assam, Malaysia, south west part of China, pamir, Nepal, moradabad etc. They are also known as rajput(son of king) History Cambodia Kambu Swayambhuva was an ancestor of the Indian Kambuja tribe and king of Aryadesa.[1]He is listed and praised in shloka 22 of the Vedic Ekatmata Stotra hymn among Hindusages, warriors and conquerors alongside Agastya, Narasimhavarman I, Rajendra Chola I, Ashoka, Pushyamitra Shunga and others.[2] Scholar George Coedes refers to a 10th century inscription of a Cambodian dynastic legend in which the hermit Kambu Swayambhuva and the celestial nymph Meraunite and establish the Cambodian Solar royal dynasty (Kambu-Mera), that begins with the Chenla ruler Srutavarman and his son Sreshthavarman
That's weird because the people of Cambodia still call themselves Khmer when they speak in the native tongue... Including the surrounding country still call people of Cambodia Khmer.. The only time you hear the word Cambodia is when you speak English.. China Japan Korea Thailand Vietnam all call Cambodia... Khmer...
The history here is not correct.. Jayavarman and Suryavarman are Hindu Indian names... I think more research need to be done. Ridiculous when history is not properly researched and people go about talking what they think to be true.
Since the establishment of Ayutthaya in the 14th, Ayutthaya had never lost to Angkors. In fact, Thais even colonized Khmers from the 15th to the 19th when the French came and Thailand made a treaty to give away "the land" to the French which today is Cambodia. In Cambodian history, this period is between the 15th - 19th is known as "Dark age", where Khmers were greatly under the influences of Thais. Some Khmers still don't know that they used to be Thai slaves before the colonial era? At present, part of the Khmer's thinking was memorized by the IO movement of the Khmer authorities who made up various stories that the Khmers were the rulers who created various cultures of this land in the Southeast. Even the land which is the first source of civilization, such as India, is still affected by these Khmer movements claim the culture as rebellious as we have heard it before.
Hearing it pronounced Khm-air is like fingernails on a chalkboard. Spelled Khmer, it is prounounced K-mai. Ask them. All of my Cambodian friends say "Kmai. They are a race of people.
Sri Viyaja empire excited during the 11/12th century, Tamil Chola king Rajendran destroyed the Sri Viyaja empire by a naval raid. One inscription on copper plate says” Suriyavarman II gifted a chariot to Rajendran. “ probably asking g him not to invade his country.
Khmer history had 3 era, Funan Era, Chenla Era, Angkor Era, Funan Kingdom, Word "Funan" derived from word Funaom, Meant Mountain Kingdom, founded by King Hun Tean and Queen Livyi, and then Queen Sorma (Queen of Funan Kingdom) declare war with King Kordinha from India(that the time Khmer culture influenced by Indian culture), then they became king and queen of Funan , Years later Funan Kingdom united with Chenla Kingdom, and changed name to Chenla, but because of war with neibor and civil war, the kingdom broke into two continent, Upper Chenlaចេនឡាដីគោក(the land with hill and mountant) and Down Chenlaចេនឡាដីទឹក(Land with island and water). then King Jay Varaman United the both Kingdom into Khmer Empire (Angkor era) then the king name by following Jay Varaman I, II, III, IV, V, VI, ...etc but the strongest king were Jay Varaman 7th. Khmer empire border was at China, cover Thailand, Champa(Vietnam nowadays). That time there were 4 seasons, but now we had only 2 seasons.
Can you explained about Khmer Kingdom in 2000 B.C including Khmer ancestor statue of Lord Shiva? Indian history claimed they venture into Srok Khmer around 100 A.D, if so how the fudge they found Lord Shiva statue in ancient Cambodia at OC OE site south Vietnam today????
Fu-nan (Chinese term not native to Mon Khmer) derived from Ph-nom (Mountain) like Tony Jaa Khmer Kuy tribe) name in Khmer is ah Phnom!! You dont know how rich Khmer history is, even the Chinese 3 eye God was also born in Srok Khmer (Fsther name Ta Seng who moved to Srok Khmer to make a living),which explain why Chinese history clueless on his Lu Ban birthplace ...
@@sohkathatch4081 My knowledge is base on Khmer literature plus online document, you can check Wikipedia.com for further detail. what I've refer is just a summary. Because our culture different from others, all document, sastra, slek rith were destroyed. Only temple and letter on the stone left.
Just by names of khmer kings, I can assure that they relate to India. Ancient Indians had large SEA influence. The Area of Java and Sumatra are heavily described in our scriptures. Existence of Angkor Vat is evidence how much mainland India has lost in the hand of muslim intruders and later English loot. I hope someday we will flourish again.
Angkor Wat is not 600 years olds like you say sir I think it’s built over 2000 years old and you must focus on the sculpture of the wall that printed and you will understand what they told you about 😊
Just as an FYI - I'm from South India and I'm as boiler-plate as they come. I had done a DNA test sometime back in the US. Turns out at least 15% DNA is shared with SE Asian peoples (rest is majority "ASI"). So, I guess the relationship with SE Asia is more than just language and culture.
Well, I'm sure that we are all connected in this way, genetically speaking. Consider the migration route and the planet as a whole - where people had to constantly migrate and find food - then, when they were able to grow enough food and raise animals in one spot, that was when they started to think about civilization, making art as they went, building these structures to make their lives seemingly more and more divine, connected to the spiritual realm every culture seems to possess and in awe by.
maharaja srivijaya is a badass King Who which slaughter khmer King head and brought the head to his palace. and chola dynasty was also under srivijaya ruler MALAY
Srivijaya that was based in Palembang, INDONESIA hehehe. Nevertheless, There was no mention of Malays in early Khmer inscription. It was said that Jayavarman II freed Khmer from "Chvea". Chvea is Khmer term for Java or Javanese people. It still used until today in Khmer Language to refer to Java Island or its inhabitant. On the other hand, Malay or Melayu was called by Khmer as Malayu not Chvea. Don't get me wrong, Me myself was a Sumatran Malay not Javanese but i think the term Chvea itself was referred to Shailendra dynasty of Central Java. It was supported by several historian such as Georgr Codes
The Collapse of the ANGKOR KHMER empire was caused by the Conversion of Jaya Varman 7 from the Hindu power to Boudhist towards the end of his life as an Old man to stop killing of other tribes.. especially the Mon people in the Mon kingdom in Chao Praya river
Khmer were called Mons, Khorm or .Khmerrrrrr.You can see Mons people resited in Songkla Thailand right now.Khmer Empire covered what is now known as Thailand and Lao today.
Mon Khom is Mon Khmer. Khmer is a invention of Western colonizer who made their way to ancient Se-Asia and distorted our history. We Se-Asian Khom/Khmer been trading with Westerner since Alexander the great (called Khmer Kattigara) era which aso known in Samkirt (Suvarnipumi /Se-Asia) scriptures Khersonese to the Roman around 100 A.D (under many different titles).
I don't think we know for sure how they built such complex temples, whether they were built by slaves or in goodwill. Scholars don't even know how all these ancient civilizations built or managed to engineer and drag all these stones, like the ones on Easter Island, for example. Nobody knows.
Where are your sources on slave labors and highly-regulated class structures came from? There are tiles on the roof and diverse clothings on commoners in the Bayon Bas Reliefs. Where are the sources? Stones are transported by elephants and hrydraulic networks. The details, and the engineering structures of the lakes and temples are too well-done to be build by forced labors. The word slaves in Cambodian did not the have the same meaning as in English. It is more closer to servants and what we used as polite, first-person pronoun. It is also meant " I " or "me". The religions, themselves, are diverse. While the ruling class is hindu. There are many buddhist worshippers, and occasionally Buddhist King. Suryavaraman I is Buddhist, Suryavaraman II is a Hindu.

Why did the Khmer dynasty disappear from history? Why did Lavo, the creator of Ayothaya, who was a relative or ally of Nakhon Wat, who had never fought a war, but when the slaves rebelled and killed Khom Woraman Lavo, Ayothaya immediately began to raise an army to attack Nakhon Wat. After the slavery of a man called Sweet melon became king, Nakhon Wat progressed to the point of collapse. Then the Khmer people could not build or repair the stone castle again. Art-culture declined and compared to the contemporary kingdom after Nakhon Wat "Ayothaya and the neighborhood" and Ayothaya has great buildings with high art. Each neighborhood is almost no different from the forest people hiding in a bamboo fence without any buildings comparable to Nakhon Wat. For hundreds of years, the Khmer people have been weak and defeated .

Very very interesting for anyone seeking truth in history. Subscribed and looking for more. Thank you so much!
I had been following the nomadic professor’s brilliant lecture tours around various places of interest all around the globe.His own unique way of teaching history to lay men is excellent.
I love this channel! So awesome to hear about these lesser-know places around Asia! The detail is remarkable! I heard that the canals around Angkor were designed to lessen the weight of the stones. Also, some of the stone is lighter, so it doesn't sink.
This guy knows Cambodian history much more than most Cambodian. This video is very educational.
Sovanda Ket lmfao you funny kiddo. Most of Khmer history is a lied water down by White Yapheth seeds. Khmer /Khom-mae aboriginal to Cambodia/Kambujadas (mean Son Of Kam in Samkirt). Nagar Vat (Angkor Wat water down term ) built around 900-1200 B.C not 1200 A.D taught by your Western master. Oldest mention of Kambujadas in samkirt dated back 5000 B.C (over 7,000 years ago) and yes we witness the great flood mention in the Bible and samkirt too....

Good oral history teller. Thank you professor for sharing good Khmer history to the world. Just additional information, Theravada Buddhism has been in Cambodia since the 2nd AD or prehab early than that when Cambodia was known as Norkor Phnom or Funan. There were a few intelligent Khmer Buddhist monks who went to translate thousand Buddhist books to Chinese in the 5 BC. One of those monk was Ven. Sanghavara, Sanghavaraman or Sanghapala សង្ឃបាល ឬ សង្ឃវរ្ម័ន in Khmer, known in Chinese as Sanji Polo. He translated a book called Vimuttimagga វិមុត្តិមគ្គ or "Path of Freedom" from a Pali or Sanskrit into Chinese. The original Pali or Sanskrit book was believed to have lost, the only book left is the one in Chinese text which many scholars have used it to translate into English and their own languages. Thus, it means Buddhism has been in Cambodia for centuries.
Proff, check the similarities between Khmer history and chola dynasty. Check out the man made lake in chola dynasty and irrigation system. Veeranam lake.
According to Khmer custom, all temple builders must not a slave. They must be a honorable people. Slaves were serving as caretakers to maintain the temple to earn their status in their next life. According to Chinese diplomat, the guard didn't allow any former convict or even thieves to enter the temple gate. How could they employed slave to build the temple?
Just like in Egypt they were very highly respected and skilled workers . You wouldn't want just anybody build you a house even if it is free now imagine a structure like a pyramid haha
I remember reading somewhere that the artists and stone carvers had to be best of the BEST and it would mean great honor for his or her family. That could explain the complex beautiful stone carvings all over the temples.
Thanks a lot for your clarification. I truly appreciate it.
In India and in the East the concept of slavery never existed. The concept of Dasa or servant was totally different and more like a paid service where the Dasa or Servant could ask for freedom by paying of the debt etc. Mostly the Dasa or servants could easily reach higher status depending upon their knowledge and hard work.
The Concept of slavery as found in Middle East and west was most inhumane where person of different ethnicity were subjugated for worse treatment throughout their life with no release till death. The slavery became more prevalent after Muslim invasions.
Some how this aspect is never highlighted by western historians who claim to show western civilisations or society as more advanced as compared to the Indian or its eastern neighbours.
Demon William you are right ? I think u are foreigners not Khmer pp. but ur education is acceptable. Khmer is not a slave just not other said, they look down on Khmer pp just because they jealous of this origin culture. All the temple were built by Khmer pp, Khmer citizens, not slave from other countries or where. They have skilled before they build they have learn even the carvings stone skill from 2 universities, Barphrom or Taphrom just like u see in this video and one more is Preah Khan temple if u come visit Cambodia don’t forget to visit these universities. Don’t believe in history in wiki. It’s wrote by France. They don’t know about the real Khmer history.

Zhou Daguan stated,

Hi, Little Help Please... Was Jayavarman II a hostage in Srivijaya or Sailendra or Sanjaya? My prob is Srivijaya and Sailendra was Buddhist kingdom/Empire and the only one that was Hindus was Sanjaya and at that time Khmer Empire (Jayavarman II) was Hindus.

Many South East Asians have Indian roots we are brothers.

Eric Lee, whatever, but its true that almost all South East Asian and East Asian countries have the Mongoloaid race but they have adopted Indian culture like Hinduism & Buddhism and these two religions inspired them two adapt their regional religion like Taoism etc.
That's not entirely correct. South East Asian countries have cultural & linguistic traiditons of India. But genetically both are different sets of people.
Schrödinger's Cat,true that..but during the economic, cultural,lingstic and religious exchanges some DNA exchange too could have taken place(in a minimal quantity)...just like how in moderndays too may port and economic towns have some mixed population..
both Srivijaya and jayavarman were from India? but this guy doesnt day so. biased againt India?
not made by slaves but labour like today cities of dubai etc...there has always been a working and ruling class...
Yes, nobody really knows how ancient people really built these great monuments, whether they were built by slaves or not. If the builders were slaves, could they build with such devotion and love? Maybe it was part of worship. They really thought that the king was divine so they came together to build it for this god king. The alien theorists would say they had helps from outer space. It's all speculations, really. We don't really know.

Hi Professor- The Siamese in Ayudthaya period were the Mix blood of Tai(Thai) , Mon , Old Khmere, Loas & the Thai people from the South. You missed this Information. Therefore, the Rise of Thai ( Siamese) kingdom happened because the compromise in political powers among those who already lived in this region( Mon, Thai , Old Khmer and The Thai from the southern Kingdom of Nakornsri Thammarat.) The Siamese kings ( who had infact , 25-50 %Khmer blood ) accepted some old Khmer culture into their royal court. In around year AD 1440 a Siamese King went to defeat Angkor Wat and brought all its Citizens including The Angkor wat royals to Thailand. ( From around this period the Khmer kingdom had been under Siamese power till around AD 1935 . )
Also another interesting thing not many remember. The Funan kingdom that preceded the Khmer Empire was founded by a Naga Queen Neang Neak. The people of Funan who legend said were Nagas are probably the Mon or closely related. The Naga of Funan are probably related to the Naga people of Nagaland in India. All have stories saying they came from Yunnan in southern China. Who else came from Yunnan? The Tai or Thai. Naga, Mon, Thai may share the same Yunnan Hill Tribes ancestory.
Not sure if Chenla/Khmer were also originally another Yunnan Naga tribe or came from elsewhere, but the Chinese recorded Chenla as being a vassals of Funan before later rebelling and conquering Funan and founded Khmer Empire.

I don't agree on the part where he described that Khmer Hindu kings were oppressive towards their subject and the peasants were denied many basic rights and the whole society was hereditary. Therefore, there were mass conversions from Hinduism to Theravada Buddhism to evade the social hierarchy. Its totally wrong. Both Hinduism (Vaishavaites and Shaivites) and Buddhism co-existed among Khmer kings and the Khmer kings switched back and forth among these faiths. For example, Suryavarman converted to Vaishnavite Hinduism from Shaivite and thus dedicated the Angkor Wat to Vishnu. Similarly, Indravarman converted to Buddhism later and Jayavarman II was Shaivist. Similarly, the subjects switched between these faiths according to the faith of the kings without any mass conversions and hierarchical oppressions!
This guy doesn't really know most of what he's talking about. Even scholars don't know, so don't take it literally. He's not a professor. Don't take everything you see in the internet as truth. Do your own reading, if you're interested. This is just his point of view he learned from someone else.
Westerners were always mentioned of using slave to build sacred temple or such in Cambodia. In Khmer belief (until these days), building sacred is a step closer to Gods or Heaven. How could they forced slave to do such work?
In their tradition, if the person cannot or having no time for sacred duty, one can hire somebody to do it on their behalf and shared the deeds together. By understanding this tradition, one would understand of having no force labor in building sacred temple. However, they were having a group called Pol of God which is meant "army or people of God". This group is a slave of God who were responsible for maintaining those temples. Most of these people were prisoners of war and from many disadvantage groups or donated personal slave to under temple's or religious authority.
Demon William The truth is everyone are joining to build the temples which including women and animals (elephants). Thousands of lives were also perished because of the boulders.
Tarwin Wannatham: Even if the Khom mixed with the Thais, they couldn't rise to greatness as they once had in Angkor, because to lead the Thai people was very difficult, they're ungrateful, wicked, and worse than robber to help them rise up again to equate the Golden Era of Angkor.

Great history lesson, thanks for giving Khmer their due. Often times these little countries which once were great empires got swallowed up by their aggressive neighbors and some don't even live to tell about it, in our modern day term "wiped off the map".
I sea Southeast Asian as one tribe just by looking at their facial features. The Khmer, Malaysian, Indonesian, Philippines, Siamese and people of Champa. Then the Chinese blood seeped in and now they all looked Chinese, well, the upper-crust of these societies anyway.
The secret to move stones in Angkor period was from Vedic Sound Sanskrit language by using the knowledge of gravity : 1 - to raise a stone is by putting a wedge right in the middle of the stone and then seesaw the stone and then as the stone is seesawed keep adding more wedges until one get the high desired... 2 - to move the stone from one place to another is by walking it just like you move a big fridge into a corner and the Khemaras had never used the Pi to calculate for the Pi was not absolute... If one would observe very closely the ancient Hindu temples in India one would see that these temples are second to none in Art and Sciences and Mathematics...

Since the establishment of Ayutthaya in the 14th, Ayutthaya had never lost to Angkors. In fact, Thais even colonized Khmers from the 15th to the 19th when the French came and Thailand made a treaty to give away "the land" to the French which today is Cambodia. In Cambodian history, this period is between the 15th - 19th is known as "Dark age", where Khmers were greatly under the influences of Thais.
Some Khmers still don't know that they used to be Thai slaves before the colonial era?
At present, part of the Khmer's thinking was memorized by the IO movement of the Khmer authorities who made up various stories that the Khmers were the rulers who created various cultures of this land in the Southeast. Even the land which is the first source of civilization, such as India, is still affected by these Khmer movements claim the culture as rebellious as we have heard it before.

Just as an FYI - I'm from South India and I'm as boiler-plate as they come. I had done a DNA test sometime back in the US. Turns out at least 15% DNA is shared with SE Asian peoples (rest is majority "ASI"). So, I guess the relationship with SE Asia is more than just language and culture.
Well, I'm sure that we are all connected in this way, genetically speaking. Consider the migration route and the planet as a whole - where people had to constantly migrate and find food - then, when they were able to grow enough food and raise animals in one spot, that was when they started to think about civilization, making art as they went, building these structures to make their lives seemingly more and more divine, connected to the spiritual realm every culture seems to possess and in awe by.

Srivijaya that was based in Palembang, INDONESIA hehehe.
Nevertheless, There was no mention of Malays in early Khmer inscription. It was said that Jayavarman II freed Khmer from "Chvea". Chvea is Khmer term for Java or Javanese people. It still used until today in Khmer Language to refer to Java Island or its inhabitant. On the other hand, Malay or Melayu was called by Khmer as Malayu not Chvea. Don't get me wrong, Me myself was a Sumatran Malay not Javanese but i think the term Chvea itself was referred to Shailendra dynasty of Central Java. It was supported by several historian such as Georgr Codes
The Collapse of the ANGKOR KHMER empire was caused by the Conversion of Jaya Varman 7 from the Hindu power to Boudhist towards the end of his life as an Old man to stop killing of other tribes.. especially the Mon people in the Mon kingdom in Chao Praya river
Khmer were called Mons, Khorm or .Khmerrrrrr.You can see Mons people resited in Songkla Thailand right now.Khmer Empire covered what is now known as Thailand
and Lao today.
Mon Khom is Mon Khmer. Khmer is a invention of Western colonizer who made their way to ancient Se-Asia and distorted our history. We Se-Asian Khom/Khmer been trading with Westerner since Alexander the great (called Khmer Kattigara) era which aso known in Samkirt (Suvarnipumi /Se-Asia) scriptures Khersonese to the Roman around 100 A.D (under many different titles).

Interesting.
Thank u....
I don't think we know for sure how they built such complex temples, whether they were built by slaves or in goodwill. Scholars don't even know how all these ancient civilizations built or managed to engineer and drag all these stones, like the ones on Easter Island, for example. Nobody knows.
I'm Khmer
I wasn't expecting to see the Westminster College and SLCC shirts...
Where are your sources on slave labors and highly-regulated class structures came from? There are tiles on the roof and diverse clothings on commoners in the Bayon Bas Reliefs. Where are the sources?
Stones are transported by elephants and hrydraulic networks. The details, and the engineering structures of the lakes and temples are too well-done to be build by forced labors. The word slaves in Cambodian did not the have the same meaning as in English. It is more closer to servants and what we used as polite, first-person pronoun. It is also meant " I " or "me". The religions, themselves, are diverse. While the ruling class is hindu. There are many buddhist worshippers, and occasionally Buddhist King. Suryavaraman I is Buddhist, Suryavaraman II is a Hindu.
Actually I think the Khmer comes from the Khasi people of Meghalaya, India, since the tribe here are from mesotic age
khmar people a north western indian tribe of bramin stock from Caspian sea area , who are called bahalavas,and came and colonized in Pallava country in Tamil nadu brought the Sanskrit too in 1st century AD.their last name ,they patronized buddisim , Jainism,finally Hinduism. they are the people took Zen Buddhism to China (Bodhidharma from kanjipuram),the pallava krantha letters are used in burma,indo china,malasiya,kambpochea. The sages of khamers in western india are ,kassiyappa,kaudiniya, visvamitra, so on.Rajendra chola (great tamil king)helped campuchea king Sooriyavarmen to destroyed silendra dynasty9 palambangan) and from the clutch of Sri vijaya of Indonesia.thus sending the bramins and articians to build temple.sooriyavarman sent a red stone to chola to build a temple in thanjavoor tamil nadu. as per temple inscription.1025AD.please google Rajendra chola and south east expeditions.,no north indian was involved in the conquest.

Wow! You make so much sense. This, I didn't know much about. But yes, the old inscription does talk about this as you stated. I really want to visit Northern India. We are all connected somehow. After all, we are all people of the earth, and we derived from each other.
@@chathpiersath8286 `it is not north indian people .it is tamil south indian who came to Cambodia to help suriya varmen 1they destroyed sri vijaya brought almost 50,000 soldiers .in 1028 AD and left a representative called kulathunga chola,all the details are recorded in the hindu temples in tamil nadu which are build in granite as well. Rajendra chola distroyed srivijaya because they hindered the Chola merchant navy by levying tax and sending sea pirates to capture ships and take booty. you still have that sea pirates in Malacca strait,after the downfall of the aggressor Sailendra Buddhist king of Srivijaya his name is Sangarama vijaya thunga varman ,he and his family were taken as captives to tamil nadu /Cambodia became afriend of chola ,became very rich ,and power full with the help of cholas, around the area. all the countries burma ,Thailand Malaysia,indonesia was brouht under control and hindusiam was taken forward by learned brahmins also Sanskrit temple language. and inscription language. pallava lipi was the letter used to write south asian languages.

Hi ,how can u forget Austroasiatic languages of Munda family(Ho,Santali,kudukh,etc) dominantly spoken in Jharkhand ,orissa ,Assam and Bangladesh....also have the same origin.
Interestingly, it don't share anything common with other Indian languages but similar with the Austroasiatic languages of south-east Asia.

Why did the Khmer dynasty disappear from history?
Why did Lavo, the creator of Ayothaya, who was a relative or ally of Nakhon Wat, who had never fought a war, but when the slaves rebelled and killed Khom Woraman Lavo, Ayothaya immediately began to raise an army to attack Nakhon Wat.
After the slavery of a man called Sweet melon became king, Nakhon Wat progressed to the point of collapse. Then the Khmer people could not build or repair the stone castle again. Art-culture declined and compared to the contemporary kingdom after Nakhon Wat "Ayothaya and the neighborhood" and Ayothaya has great buildings with high art. Each neighborhood is almost no different from the forest people hiding in a bamboo fence without any buildings comparable to Nakhon Wat. For hundreds of years, the Khmer people have been weak and defeated .
Temple was built on Agama shastra, which describe how to built temple
I believe i see professor leonardo decaprio...
PLEASE CHECK FUNan supposed to be the first Khmer kingdom and first major trade center in Se asia
yes it's true !!!
many many Khasi People with Mon khmer descendants in Meghalaya , believe they just Existed in Meghalaya without having to come from no where at all,
They live in folklore and folktale, so most of the spoken History is Loss in Translation and Time Period.
So most Khasi people now Live in Confusion.
And if we have to say they Migrated from Cambodia and Thai land, they'd live in Dis beleif.
As many have live in delusion and Brainwashed , because of Illiterate Parents .
But now When we study language and culture , Khasi are from Mon Khmer Ethnic Groups.
Its time that they start Recognizing them self.
