Imagine building the largest temple in the world and still have the wealth and power to build a mountain temple complex that rival Macchu Picchu? That's the impressiveness of the Khmer empire

Thank you Mr. B for your episode from Preah Vihear Temple built by the Khmer kings from the 9th to the 12th centuries. I love the shot of the temple long corridor remaniscent of the Vatican building. Your description of the recent Preah Vihear temple histories of conflict with Thailand and the retreat place of the Khmer Rounge are also interesting. Many temple damages were caused by those recent fightings. The Thai also carted off many temple pieces back to Thailand. They need to be returned for the rebuilding of the temple under UNESCO sponsorship.

Today it has deteriorated greatly after being taken care of by Cambodia.

The Gods & the internet do appreciate the significant work of a seemingly insignificant being signalling the signs of the great Khmer Empire designs.

Incredible piece, sir. Thank you so much for all your hard work. It should be aka "Temple In the Sky".

Another Khmer gem tastefully presented!

Another Great VDO, Mr. B. I cannot stress enough that our ancestors built great temples all over Cambodia and stretched from modern Vietnam to modern Burma. Our ancestors strong believe in Hinduism that built the greatest Khmer Empire that lasted for more than 600 years, the downfall came as soon as converted to Buddhism. The battle between Hinduism and Buddhism have lost million lives and massive land. This history that all Cambodian people should know. I am proud of our ancestor Hinduism and that left us their legends.

Jaw dropping Mr B. I could follow anything described with your enthusiasm!

My favorite temple location !! On the top we were lucky to see the monkeys among the monks 😉. The only temple location I could wish to return 👍

Great independent documentary. I enjoyed it. The site has tons of history to tell. This temple was also the last holdout of the Cambodian nationalist forces when the Khmer Rouge took power, and they too fled to Thailand when the stronghold fell. A couple decades later it was the site of a great atrocity when the Thais forced tens of thousands of Cambodian refugees back across the border, pushing them down the escarpment into mine fields, shooting those who refused to go, resulting in the loss of an estimated 5,000 lives. At least this is what I read on Wikipedia.

Cambodia had been blessed by their ancestor's heritage, but kinda disappointed looking the way cambodian government managed all of those temple.
