Congratulation Angkor wat 🇰🇭 just became a 8th wonder of the world in 2023
I have been there at least 6 times and still discovering new things. It is massive. It’s just mind blowing how did they build these temples. There are so many temples to see.
Impressive and compelling
Great narrative of an epic Khmer empire
Amazing Kingdom of Wonder
I have been there 4 times and want to back again and again.
Agreed
I had a chance to visit this magical Angkor Complex with the Kulen Hill Waterfalls as a young boy with my family back in the 60s before the war erupted. Sadly, most of my family members did not survive the genocide from 1975 to 1979 under the Pol Pot dictatorship. Only memory lives on. Peace!
Peace and stay safe

Indian ancestors

@@bharatyaswaraj5641 Yes he was India indeed he was a Hindu and a Vishnu bhakt
@@ArjunVB666 truth story told it’s that a Prince in India was a ruler and has power he ruled and treat he’s people so badly and inflicted pain and sorrow on them later on the King of India find out he’s misbehavior then give a harsh punishment they tied him on a boat and then somehow it sail landed on the Territories of Cambodia shores so from there India has some sort of lineage with Cambodia cultures.

Angkor vat temple has distinctive Indian features as cambodiia had very special relation with Chola Empire of south India which spread from myanmar, thailand, Indonesia and parts of the phillipines, the cholas were a mercantile empire which traded with China and Europe and middle east, they spread culture and civilization anywhere they went and was a continous empire for nearly 8 centuries, Indian kings had marital relations with southeast asian royal families and military alliances uptill philipines, vietnam and korea.
Their names are also indian like Suryavarman..
besse Fosil in south Sulawesi 7200 BC is austronesian mix denissovan born Papua, aborigin,india,arab kzhead.info/sun/ZsmilsqtgYGnrZE/bejne.htmlsi=NPFtWiKO8-CGXOjv
So sup? It's still built by the Khmer, yeah we Khmer have some relative to Indian but definitely not Indian to build this magnificent culture and yes stunning temple.
Jayawarman II, the first king of the Khmer empire came from the island of Java, indonesia inscription sdok kok thom in thailand Inscription ligor B in thailand
early khmer did adopt the Indian culture through Pallava, and adopted the varaman title but the title had no relation to indian blood. I think thats what had a lot of Indians and our neighboring country to try to discredit our ancestors from building these great complex and try to say it wasn't the khmer that built it.They say Khmer people are worshipping the ancestors of another culture. And a lot of tamil ppl try to claim it was their ancestors that built it. If the tamil kings had built it , why did the inscriptions are in ancient khmer?!! to all the khmer doubters answer that question.😊

Amazing angkor wat cambodia
Proud of my ancient ancestors to build such fabulous cities under the Khmer empire. The Khmer empire was huge and vast many ancient cities exist all over the ancient sites of the empire.
I really appreciate both national and internal archeologist communities for molecular scales research. I couldn't wait to see the original birth place of the iron keys or locks that locked the the rock together. I have three questions: 1. How do the ancient Khmer extract the iron ore What kinds of technologies do they use? Perhaps, Pnom Dek, the iron mountain, could be a facilities where the Khmer artisans forged the metal. 2. The foundation of Angkor Wat is massive. Where do they get the sand from to fill the this gigantic foundation?
wonderful place
I'll be moving there this spring.
Make a video of kailash temple in ellora . Largest rock cut monolithic structure in the world
Amazing Cambodia
I am always wondering how Angkor Wat was built. I am glad I came across this video. I have never been to Angkor Wat. It is mind blowing to me of how so many century years later that the temples still standing. What's it that it never collaps. What kind of stone is it that stand against time?
Does mountain stands pretty much forever? Where does stones come from? Maybe the Mountain? 😂

They have also advance teachnology that we still not yet discover
Yes, more discoveries to come
Many more to be discovered
Agreed, very advanced
Very advanced science and architecture
Pls make a video of kailash temple in Ellora (India). Largest rock cut monolithic structure in the world. Also more impressive than this temple
Spiritually, temples should rise up, whereas graves/tombs burrow down like caves or catacombs....Not to mention one is built, the other carved. Buildings required structured and foundation to begin with. Maybe that's why one is more well known and admired than the other.
@@newhorizon4066hahaa lol. Just the abhrahamic mindest. Dude there are many other temples in bharat aka india. U should learn about it. Angkorwat is a wonderful monument but u should not say that elloracave is not a big wonder. Its much harder to carve than to build something up. And taking baout architecture bharatiya architecture is the best and the oldest in the world. If u cant agree i suggest u learn more about the indian architecure sanathadharma architecture.😂
I like #angkorwat
So amazing Khmer empire
What’s more amazing is there are hundreds of temples around there!!
Is not a Temple. Is a Kingdom. All the other are Outposts and some are temple.
Amazing
Impressive city
Handmade temples- impressive
There are more temples that have not discovered yet… very massive handmade city.
❤
I was research the history of Cambodia . Cambodia is Khmer was created the power in south east Asia. It’s was the Great Khmer Empire.
What did you have me watch bro I like your other videos but what was this I don’t get it?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💯
Cambodia 🇰🇭 ❤
I'd like to know if the structure/sculptures were painted? Gold foil scrapped off years past?
The Temple it’s adorned with golds and gemstones hidden within the stones and statues . But over time with looters and during The Genocides (1975-1979) mostly of the sites has been bombard and looters were vandalize and destroyed parts of its statues to removed the precious stones that it’s been hidden. My ancestors , grandparent we’re native from Siem Riep and live only 20 miles from Angkors Wat its full of giant forestry wilds animal it’s a jungle sceneries ,nowadays everything it’s been scarce since the War that killed half of Millions Khmers population. 🙏😔❤️🇰🇭
Thanks for publishing amazing video about Angkor Wat , but you got the space-view map of Cambodia wrong. The reality is the map is bigger.
I've been to Cambodia 8 times since 2000. There are temples all over the country....not just Siem Reap province. A fabulous country....
❤🎉❤
pls also bagan in myanmar how thousand of temples are built
Is not a Temple. Is a Kingdom.
Film makers don't have endless time or video allotment on show. They could only show single structures well. But, as you noted, this was more than a temple (the most shown structure) or just a city, although this 11th-12th century CIVIL ENGINEERING --- at a city scale, with perfect modern day GEOMETRIC shapes and constructions --- was head and shoulder above all others of mankind from around the world at that same period. This, in fact, is only the center of a Kingdom, as you accurately note. You will see these same architecture in southern LAOS as well.... built by the same mighty Khmer empire... Only three civilizations that built large city scale structures as complex and equisite as this: Classical Greece, Ancient Rome, and Angkor Wat/the Khmer of Cambodia. Unfortunately, Rome and Greece came a bit too early, so while they both had exquisite individual structures --- think of the "most beautiful" or, at least, the MOST COPIED building of all, the PARTHENON, atop of the Acropolis ---- they never approach Angkor City (as a city) that was basically a MODERN DESIGNED and BUILT city, except it was done in the 11th - 12th century. For a moment, just imagine those extremely gifted ENGINEERS and PLANNERS/rulers had today's hardened metals, composites, and more refined tools as well as heavy lifting equipments & vehicles! Roughly 95% of the other groups and tribes and even civilizations in other parts of the world, big and small, didn't built at the size, scope, or civil engineering refinement as the Greeks, Romans, and Khmers... so even if you see one or two structures here and there, you sort of doubt of THEY TOO could rival these three civilizations who, again, had very minimal modern metallurgy, synthetics/composite materials, heavy lifting equipment, etc. and yet who built whole CITIES still have the power to make MODERN DAY CIVIL ENGINEERS's mouths drop, even if modern engineers could build 150 storey towers straight up...
Great info
The Khmer empire built the city with many temples.
It’s the Kingdom of Wonder.
@@kiabtoomlauj6249👍👍👍
I think you got the wrong map of Cambodia out there.
❤❤❤❤❤
Do a video of kailash temple in Ellora (India) . Largest rock cut monolithic structure in the world . Also a underrated wonder of the world
👍😳❤️
This article is about to show the interesting facts about Cambodia. Ankor wat Facing to the west, because our ancestors built this monument for the future even, when the second sun comes ,the west will become to be the east , and a very even will happen in Cambodia. You know a richest country in the last day ,that your Bible says An island in the east and the island in the west, where ? It's Cambodia , not Philippines. Our ancestors still alive, they are preparing for a time comes, they do meditation and live in a deep inside of mountains. Sorry i forgot how English called it. (Kanal) We are Khmer but the word khmer was written in complex style ,was read as khem mac rac not khmer. When Thai occupied Cambodia they read this word as khmen(r) not in the complex style, in normal style, so the word khmer was born , so we have to names khmer and Khem mac rac. Khmer had the killing field because of Vietnamese they pretending to be khmer, impostor like Pol Pot , even Hun Sen , too. Now Hun Sen is pushing khmer to very danger of nuclear by giving land to China, our ancestors, too predicted that...
Hat's off to the Hindu king and workers who built this
Here is Khmer king it built all the temples it just influenced by Hindu culture
… one is a religion and one is a civilization. Or am I wrong
How just influenced?? It is a vishnu temple @@rojanetouk
@@suneetagawde7593 so what's your point? Hinduism is not exclusively for Indians
I meant since it's a hindu temple Hinduism was the religion which prevailed there
The more I know about the World (everything in it) The more I know NOTHING😢
RIP Damian Evans 😢😢🙏🙏

Ankorwat frombodia well Evrygood evrygood..
Proud to be a Hindu 🙏 Ram Ram!
很好的重建工作！但靠石头相互摩擦而契合的方法是有局限性，对稍微巨大的石头是不可行的，更不用讲如埃及的巨石般数吨重重量的石头了。
Жаль, что не показали сканирование сложных орнаментов. Спасибо.
I am wasn't said wrong but from what i know about Angkor wat was the unfinished structure until now. We can confirm by check around the top floor of the temple all sculpture was unfinished. For more detail we can check in Dr. Keng Vansak interview. Thank
My nation cambodian.
Came here after watching Praveen Mohan Video
Ya didn't talk bout how the center tower algin with the sun on the spring equinox?
The building is not shrouded in mystery for us Kui people (Indigenous peoples) who are skilled at iron production, and we had supplied all these iron tools to build this temple. Kui people had hugely contributed to building all these temples, but their work is rarely mentioned in the Cambodian official history education system.
Please share your story
at 41:35 can you try this technique in ancient Iron mines from India, maybe they were shaped in India and transported to Ankgor , after all India was advanced in Iron ore processing technology historically
