21. The King Awakens-21st Century Commentary On Cambodia said that the cambodia of today is a lost civilization as well as having lostone of its greatest civilizations on earth; the ancient Khmer civilization. http://www.earthportals.com/Portal_Messenger/kingawakens.html

Photo by: Willard Van De Bogart The King Awakens A social commentary on 21st Century Cambodia by Willard Van De Bogart March 3, 2004 Language Center Rajabhat Institute Nakhon Sawan, Thailand A rumor began to spread throughout Cambodia in late January 2003 which was so controversial, and contained so many heated emotions that it resulted in a devastating act of social violence. When January 29th arrived the rumor had reached its climax resulting in the Royal Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh being completely burned and sacked. The rumor was about Cambodia's famed Angkor Wat temple belonging to neighboring Thailand and not to Cambodia. Maybe the world just thought Cambodia had lost all of its people in the days of the Khmer Rouge. Maybe the "Killing Fields" reverberated the opinion that there were no more people left in Cambodia who could speak out publicly on social issues. Perhaps the world thought that Pol Pot, the leader of the Khmer Rouge, removed the voice of Cambodia forever. The truth is he almost did. But then on one warm evening the capital of Cambodia came to life, and the world saw the Thai Embassy go up in flames. It was a spark that ignited a renewed interest in Cambodian history and Thai relations. This spark also awoke inside of me the thought that some greater force was at large in Cambodia that caused such an outbreak of social violence. One thing was for certain; the Cambodian people were not dead.

Angkor Wat, Cambodia Sunrise at Angkor Wat ( Order this Print There are two great complexes of ancient ruins in southeast Asia, one at Bagan, Burma, the other at Angkor in Cambodia. The temples of Angkor, built from 879 - 1191AD, when the Khmer civilization was at the height of its development, represent one of humankind's most astonishing and enduring architectural achievements. From the great citadel of Angkor, the kings of the Khmer empire ruled over a vast domain that reached from what is now southern Vietnam to Yunan, China and from Vietnam westward to the Bay of Bengal. The structures one sees at Angkor today, more than 100 temples in all, are the surviving religious remains of a grand social and administrative metropolis whose other buildings - palaces, public buildings, and houses - were all built of wood and are long since decayed and gone.

To the astonished tourist the magnificence of this ancient civilization is widely shown at “Angkor Wat" with its majestic presence, one of the worlds great wonders, that the surrounding jungle has still preserved from those prior historical events.

Visit Angkor Wat, Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, Angkor Thom, Bayon.. Phnom Penh How to reach Phnom Penh The Magic of Cambodia Siem Reap Siem Reap Angkor ceased to be a living city in 1431 when the Khmer abandoned it in face on constant attack from the Thai's. With time the ruins were all but swallowed up by dense jungle. An ancient civilization lost to nature. The popular myth but in fact Angkor was never lost as such, rather it became less and less accessible. It was still known locally as a place of pilgrimage, a vague memory in the minds of European missionaries. It is claimed that the last Kingdom was re-discovered by French naturalist Henri Mouhot in January 1860. Wether or not the Kingdom was ever lost remains a matter for debate but what is not in question is that the posthumous publishing of the accounts of Mouhot's travels did trigger European interest in Asia's single most remarkable archaeological site - The Temples of Angkor. Angkor Wat was built in the 12th century by Suryavarman II is the largest religious building in the world measuring at its base 1,500 metres by 1.300 metre. When one crosses the Naga bridge it appears as if there are just three towers. It is not until one has entered the inner courtyard that the other two are visible. It was originally built for worship to the Hindu gods. To the north stands the Bayon with 54 stone towers, each the face of Bodhisattva on each of the four sides and stands at the centre of Angkor Thom. It is surrounded by a moat and is approached at the four cardinal points through massive stone gates. Ta Prohm to the east of Angkor Thom is particularly fascinating as it is left as it was found with roots of the trees growing up though the masonry of the ancient temples.

The ancient civilization of the Khmer is accessible and written large and in stone at Angkor Wat. The monumental Hindu temples are breathtaking in both beauty and historical significance, a lost city telling its story in crumbling roads, behemoth buildings, and ornate bas-reliefs covering crumbling temple walls. Then there is Phnom Penh, the capital, tatty but charming, with crumbling French colonial architecture and a splendid palace. Cambodia is resplendent with natural gifts; the Mekong River is the country's lifeline and can be followed as it winds through the countryside. Cambodia's main highway connects with Tonle Sap

The News The Photo Albums Worlds online Travel tools ... Cambodia 99' Cambodia 99' Info L C Angkor Temples The entrance fees are quite high. One day pass costs USD 20, 3 days costs USD 40 and one week is USD 60. Some people seem to find this excessive, but do consider the high cost to preserve and restore these temples (and compare it to prices for similar attractions in your own country). You can hire a guide (French or English speaking) for about USD 20 per day. That's what we did for the first day : we visited Bayon while our guide explaining the Cambodian history in length...It was a good start to get familliar with the background of the Khmer art. However, from the second day onwards, we decided to get around by ourselves at our own pace and being guided by our drivers. Try to visit the temples early in the morning: it's less crowded and the wheather is cooler Note : While many temples at the outlying areas were once occupied by Khmer Rouge, it has become quite safe nowadays to wander around, but it seems that the danger of land mines still remines, so be carefull and ask your guide before going to any remote places.

page 1 page 2 page 3 page 4 ... page 10 2003 Thailand and Cambodia Trip Pics and Notes, Cambodia and the Ancient Temple Ruins These ruins are in rougher shape, but it is intriguing to see them in such rough shape and some with huge trees growing up in and around the walls of the ancient cities. This is the final page of my Thailand and Cambodia scrapbook. Thanks for visiting and sharing it. Cambodia still has between two and seven million land mines buried, mostly in areas where battles raged for years. They have never been disarmed and still do damage to people and farm animals. There are an astounding number of amputees, some of whom are pictured here, (notice the leg sitting next to the guy on the far left above) playing traditional instruments and music that can be heard as you approach the temple sites. Even in such rough shape, the detail on the ruins is remarkable. The picture of Andy next to a giant tree root growning down the side of the roof and wall on the right helps you understand the scale of the monumental ruins as well as the kind of plant growth in such a tropical environment. The grammar and spelling are off but you get the idea, one has to be careful around such fragile structures as these.

Cambodia Just reading the word "Cambodia" is sure to evoke a strong reaction. Maybe your first thought is of the magnificent ruins of Angkor Wat (and the lesser known, but no less impressive Angkor Thom and the Bayon). Walk amidst the renowned architecture of the 9th-13th centuries and learn about the fascinating history of one of the true wonders of the ancient world. And if your mind associates Cambodia with its famous traditional dances, we will ensure that you will attend a memorable, intimate dance performance during your stay. Finally, if you are a student of history, politics or world events, the Cambodia of yesterday still lives on in your mind and heart. That unspeakable era of human suffering under the Khmer Rouge over 20 years ago is commemorated by today's Cambodia at two deeply emotional memorials close to the capital city of Phnom Penh. Cambodia is all of the above. Today's Cambodia is a complex land - a glorious ancient history, a ghastly recent history, finely skilled artisans, graceful dancers and, most of all, warm, friendly people who teach us all about the triumph of the human spirit. Cambodia Highlights THE ANGKOR CIVILIZATION While books, films and photographs about Angkor abound, nothing will compare to the wondrous sensations that will flow through you as you enter the ruins of ancient Angkor for the first time.
