Is the Great Pyramid of Thailand Actually South East Asia's FIRST Buddhist Temple?

- Khao Klang Nok in the country of Thailand was just a mound of earth with trees on it, buried for 1,500 years or more, until quite recently. Digging commenced back in about 2008 I believe, and was finished in 2012. What emerged was an erection, the like of which had never been seen before in Thailand. Many have dubbed it a pyramid, but most experts have said it was a Buddhist temple with a large stupa/chedi built around the 6th century.... however, it may be far older. PSA: No theory set forth in this video is a given fact.

I used some pictures of the archaeological dig, most of which were displayed on the noticeboard at Khao Klang Nok (and I filmed), and I'd like to credit whoever took them; I wanted to show the whole process of a place I believe could gain more recognition in the not too distant future.
Help we wander more and further if you so desire:

Perfect one, and interesting, Jim.
Very well presented Jim with your usual attention to detail and historical ponderings. With so many historical sights it’s inevitable that some will be overlooked and perhaps not given the place n history they deserve. Cheers
Wow ! JB Jim, your theme "digging deaper" is fascinating,! 👍The suspension bridge at the beginning looked very dangerous it gave me shaky legs lol ! Thanks for your great research ❣
Fantastic vlog, Im gonna have to rewrite my itinerary. Ive read of Greek conection before, the similarity of some statues. Ban Chiang and bronze age finds, the stone age paintings at Phu Prabhat and Lampang man certainly drag the history of Thailand in fascinating direction.
Oldest, who knows. All I know structures like these fascinates me is how they manage to build them👍
Nice information 😊👍🎊🎉
There was another place on a low hill just waiting to be explored.
Si Thep National Park was designated a World Heritage Site last year. I used to go up to the top of this stupa when it was not yet a World Heritage site and not many people knew about it, but now it seems like they are no longer allowed up there.
This is an amazing complex and one can only imagine what it was like at its height whenever that was. I doubt that the French would have buried the temple, too much hard work in the sun. My guess is that it was either the Khmer or Burmese. There's definitely more of a story to be told.
It'd be built by KHOM, not Khmere. Khmere was the slave tribe from Java [from DNA match research] under Khom ruler at that time. While Khom has the root from Tamil of east India.
I did NOT even suggest for one second that it was built by the Khmer! I said quite the opposite!
@@JBWanders73Oh! My bad. Maybe I heard it wrong, sorry for that. Let's take my comment as a piece of information and please keep on doing vlog about this place, it's very interesting.
I’d blame moles 😂
