@@storiesinhistory do you have any advice on being a TH-camr I am a animation TH-camr I just started out around month ago I have not really a lot of videos
@@Devin-ik1dv I'm still new to youtube, but my advice is to follow other animation youtubers and see what they do that works for their channel. Then try to add your unique spin to it. Animation is fun and there are many ways you can do it. It takes lots of patience to grow the channel, so good luck!
Merci beaucoup de raconter notre histoire du Cambodge
de rien! Glad you enjoyed!
I’m proud to be Khmer! Land Of the Kambujadesa! Never change our name!
I know that Cambodians like to claim that Thais stole Cambodian culture (every culture stole something from each other throughout the history of civilizations); Thais, Cambodians, Lao, Burmese, Southern Vietnam (Champa), we all share a common heritage that transcend national boundaries (which were artifically constructed in the 19th and 20th centuries in response to Western colonialism) and that like the Europeans to Rome and Greece, that the Therevada Buddhist and Hindu traditions of Southeast Asia had the Angkor Empire as their cultural progenitor. We should all celebrate each other's cultures and how they relate to each other.
The Angkorians did not have a sense of national identity and if they did, it resembles little to the Western idea of the nation state and being part of "the nation" post-Treaty of Westphalia and post-Enlightenment.
Unrelated note, but I would say that you can argue that Mouhot "rediscovered" Angkor for the Europeans in the 19th century and onward. I don't think many Europeans would have been aware of an old 16th century book where a friar visited Angkor Wat in the endless archives of a prestigious old European library.
Well said on your first comment!
Yes, it could be more so said that Mouhot popularized Angkor in the western conscious. The Spanish and Portuguese likely did not widely publish their descriptions of Angkor. Mouhot seems to have learned about Angkor from the Thai and found its location with the help of Khmer people. I didn't mention it, but Mouhot also reported that a French missionary named Charles Emile Bouillevaux along with several other missionaries visited Angkor on several occasions before him. Mouhot's writings on Angkor became the most popular accounts, because of the general obsession among Europeans of the time with ancient ruins and adventure.
The Angkorians had a common sense of unity and nationalism built on one language (Khmer) and culture. Thanks to it's centralize system the "Knom ideology" which incentivize the people by giving them social benefits in exchange for their labor to build grand temples, cities, infrastructure, ports, and so forth. In turn, the Khmer empire was able to build a centralize state level society similar to Rome, Qin dynasty, Han dynasty, Mughals, and the Incans.
Thai and Viets benefit from white supremacy: helps them removing indigenous history of the Khmer empire
My god this biased ass Thai comment. Like do you know why Cambodian are so hostile toward thai regarding to culture??
Thailand have always tried to blur history in order to fit their agenda especially regarding to the Cambodian ancestors. First they said that Cambodian are Khom and not the Khmer people that build the angkor wat and later on they said that no the Khom are the one that build angkor wat and that the Khom are their true ancestors (even though a quick google search literally stated that Khom mean Khmer in Thai).
Do you know the reason as to why they do this? Because they think Cambodian people are inferior to them and in no way shape or form are they descendants of the same ancestors (believed it or not the majority of dumbasses in Thailand still claim Angkor Wat to be built by their “ancestors”).
So next time, try using your brain a little before saying dumb statement like “oh cambodian like to claim this and that” and tries to understand a bit as to why Cambodian are very “hostile” toward Thai.
There was a dam that broke at Koh Ker without any water to water the crops it was hard to sustain like you mentioned
What you've been studying is wrong. The fall of Angkor Wat is related to the dynasty that ruled Angkor Wat. After the overthrow of the Jayavarman dynasty The Khmer Empire was in decline. And the Jayavarman dynasty was more related by blood to Ayutthaya than the new dynasty that overthrew the Jayavarman dynasty.
I am Thai and Im so proud of my Thai ancestors 🇹🇭❤️

In the year 1431 AD the supposedly collapse of the Khmer empire must be taken with a grain of salt. This is coming from a Chinese merchant who didn't really understand what went on. There is no evidence of invasion. The question of who and where these outsiders came from is still a subject of debate. Were they Khmer royal elites from other provincial capitals of the Khmer Empire? This could be because the Aristocrats of Ayutthaya were culturally Khmerized until the 17th century AD. Did Angkor really collapse? These new findings and questions doesn't seem like it did. It was probably a transition of power and culture to the new capital similar to Rome and Constantinople.
Well said. Thank you.
even before the angkor invasion of Lavo the culture of presend day thai come from Mon and Thai Mixed together
@@Icok963 There was Mon and Lawa people yes. But there is no Thai yet that time. Did you know Thai is just a name made in 1939 to unite together all the different ethnicities into a Nationality called Thai by a man name Phibunsongkhram? I figured you are a young thai generation.
@@imperialkhmer6146 Mon and lawa are the founder of Lopburi of course, No Thai or syam. How do I explain the lavo and syam Army on Nakon wat walls? The carved were first made after the winning over Cham
@@imperialkhmer6146 there were still Thai or Tai around, Then how can Lavo kingdom have Siamese identity and Syam are call for thai and Mon people in
Ayutthaya early royal family still speak Khmer in royal court.
LOL
Not really at all Ayutthaya early family were the mon and Tai-kadai people who merged and became one nation called Siamese, but truly they had relations to Angkorian royal family via marriage that minority of khmer people in Ayutthaya. If you see
"Lilit ongarn chang nam or announcement cursing water" from earlier Ayutthaya period in reign of U-thong, you will find there minimum 3 languages
not even close, the early ayutthaya royal family spoke mon and later thai as it have to change due to war between suphanaphuym and lavo dynasty
Camdobra
Angkhor was connected via the River Tonle Sap, a Tributary of the Mekong River with the South Chinese Sea.
You just repeate the false History created by politically correct Archeologists and Historians.
อานาจักรเขมรไม่เคยมีอยู่จริง
มีแต่อาณาจักรขอม ซึ่งขอมก็ไม่ใช่เชื้อสายเขมรขอมไม่ใช่เชื้อชาติ
Stupid Thai mindset
Khmer literally is a race a Khmer Mon race , the Austroasiatic race , you people are the one without a race a culture a original tradition
The King of Siam is in Nakhon Wat Nakhon Tham King Jayavarman Become the King of Siam Siamese name City name in Siamese All place names inscribed are in the Siamese language. Not name Khmer style.
(The kings of the Woraman family were KhomSiamese.)
