Khmer Empire since 3600 BC
Today I get so moved by Mr. Pondinarith KIM, Khmer Engineer, who designed a very interesting website publishing the Khmer Empire Maps from 3600BC until today. And the most important thing besides the very informative maps is his message in his website as he writes:
The Khmer Empire Nation was born from at lease 5600 years ago, (within 3600 years before Christian Era). After our verification from all of the official documents, The Khmer Nation has at lease 2000 years experiences of war successfull story, at lease 100 years of diplomatic success story, and at lease 2000 years of prosperity, shining culture, shining civilization, and shining history from year 500 B.C. before Christian Era to year 1500 A.D. of our era now. Basing on these historical successfull stories, foreign contries that would like to invade Cambodia today is seemingly not an easy action, they will be destroyed by Khmer People and khmer soldiers have a lot experience of war in the field.
To see our former Empire maps which hade gloriously prospered for thausands in the past please kindly visit website of Mr. Pondinarith KIM at: Khmer Empire History

what kind of f**ken maps are those nhoona?. first of there are no “thai” tribes thousands of years ago . the word ailao existed lond before any “thai” tribe was made up by you. what the hell is up with khmer tribe? sh!et. the map is seperating khmer from funan & chenla (jenla). they got funan down in cambodia then above that there’s khmer tribe?, what the fudge. chenla in its history were seperated by two khmer chenla kingdoms, north & south chenla. where the hell is that on your map?. khmer are indigenous to south east asia, just like mon folks. that means we were the 1st people to settled in the regions that later became parts of khmer or mon kingdoms or empire. historians & scholars don’t doubt that the funan & chenla kingdoms were khmer & khmer are indigenous to those regions.
then i see this stupid map that trying to seperate khmer people from our ancient kingdoms/civilisation. f**k that, when the mon & khmer people settled in south east asia, we settled in different regions. the mon occupied burma & parts of thailand. while the khmer occupied other parts of thailand, laos, cambodia & south vietnam. why are there so many question marks on those map anyways? so it’s 1 of those speculation maps is it. it’s not even an accurate historical map. if it was then there would’nt be so many question marks & false information, & you want to show this map around like you proud of it?. take the map & use it as toilet paper thats all it worth when it’s not 100% historicly accurate . should of known those maps were dodgy when i 1st saw “thai tribes” haha just another thaisified version of south east asian history is it.
if you want to go back that far. then where is the 5000 year old bronze age ban chiang civilisation in what is know present day essan/khmer border region in thailand?. they were said to be the 1st people to work bronze in the world. bronze metal works artifacts like spear heads, pots & sculptures older than 5000 years old have been found in what is todays essan/khmer border region. where the hell is that on your map?. it deserves a mention on the map since it marked a milestone in human civilisation by the coming of the bronze age?. & it’s not even there. huhhh…. get a better map to show of fool.
you can try to cover up the truth with lies & bull sh!et, but the truth is still there. remove the lies & bull sh!et & what you get is still the truth.
masterchiefSep 23 2008, 04:25 AM
if podinarath kim is khmer, then he’s a khmer fool. hahahahahehehehehe
coming up in here with a map like that a map that shows a “thai tribe” thousands of year ago & don’t even recognise the funan & chenla kingdoms as khmer. then you forget about the 5500 year old bronze age ban chiang civilisation in the essan/khmer border region of thailand.
ban chiang- the word chiang is like the khmer word jiang. which means specialist in a certain area.
like jiang daekh (metal workers) jiang larn (mechanic) jiang pteah (builder, carpenter). ban is like bunge in khmer, like bunge gapleing (fire a gun) something to do with a firing action. if you put ban chiang together it means an expert in a firing action like the firing, heating process that is needed to extract bronze from a rock. the civilisation was called ban chiang because of their expertise in bronze metal work. they were said to be the 1st people in the world to work with bronze metal. & it’s not even on your beloved map .
take your rediculous map fold it up or scrunch it up, how ever you prefer it. then use it as toilet paper. thats all it’s worth, oh & if it’s laminated then take the laminate of before you use it as toilet paper.
masterchief sounds like masterfuck with his/her fucking silly word with very shameful to every thai/Siem people.
Siem has been washed their brain by thier changed history, everyone known except themselve that still living with a shame but acting very proud of their robber baron growing to the world.
Let proofing and talk to your people, thai/siem, at Boriram, Sorin, Trat,… let say from down to your up country, do they speak khmer? do they have their ancient as khmer people? do they have khmer blood? well, ambitious cannot protect people from robbery, event brother and sister can be killed to reach their ambitious.
Everyday you bow your head and knee down to our Khmer Letter to pray for happiness and success, that is what we are very prouding of, but backward you look down on your ancient and guardian spirit, how’s come can u do that? We don’t really understand of what u are doing to show the world? Please don’t try to ashamed your people to the world, STOP IT!
Well Siem, blaiming your ancient will bring every of yours go to hell soon or later. Don’t trying to cheat yourself, let showing the true, buddha will pity u!!!!

We are Khmer must wake up! Not just saying or writing ” I am Khmer Angkor” , but not acting developing ourself in many areas of our lives. I urge all of us in this generation to be alert all the time. Because we are in between two big giant and hungry countries! Any way to know our past history background is great! But now do ask ourself, Who Am I ? What am I doing? where am I going?when am I acting? how am I doing? And move on people! “Know yourself and know your enemies” you are always wine!

Actually Thai was existed long time ago, but not in the current location like today. They are originated from the Mao-Tai in Mongolia. Being a bad guy, Mongol tried to get rid of them. So Mongol just fight them downward through China and finally Tai got into Khmer territory. Being alliance with Khmer, Tai got support and defeated those Mongols(unclear 8th A.D). Later on Tai tried to get rid of Khmer to expand the land for their next generation.

Thais were thieves and smoking opium living in Mongol until the Mongol chased them into China land then they were chased by the Chinese and they ran into Khmer land.
Khmer people made a mistake for helping those Thai thieves, we should chase them back to Mongol.
Since the day we helped them, we lost almost everything, but at least our Khmer numerals are written on Thai national to prove that Khmer people educated Thais to become civilized.

I thought Veitnam tried to get rid of Cambodian (the darker skin), the country fill with those corruptions, selling they own country to the westhern. by trading gold for gunships, only left out with blocks of stones. Thailand always be a freinds with Cambodia in pass, same traditionals, passion, and good ralationship and freindship. They fighting each others coz a bad leader of Cambodian tried to mopping people, so those poor citizen will careless about they corruptions.

This is all very silly. The history of the every part of the world is tribes moving around and settling in new areas. Naming these tribes as ‘khmer’ or ‘Tai’ usually comes later, and all governments change the truth for their own convenience so you can’t believe anything that you have been told is history. Science already shows that all people come from the same area of Africa 180,000 years ago so we are all from the same place originally. Mon, Khmer, Shan, Chinese, Laos, Hmong, Seouy there are hindreds of local tribes who have been fighting or inter marrying for hundreds of years in reality in this area.

Lots of idiotic thais and khmers around.The entire Khmer religions, masonry, weapons and writings came from North Western India, where the vedic culture flourished.Vedas brought in Hinduism and Buddhism.
Like the Taj Mahal, all architects, priests and chief artesans came from Shiraz, Persia( now Iran).Yes, the very people who once built Persepolis and who ruled most parts of Europe. They were Aryans.
The Indians, Khmers, Siamese and Burmese were the slaves who toiled for years to build the temples.They were nature woshippers who believe in witchcrafts and black magic. Many still do.
These temples of the Vedic Era were dedicated to Vedic Gods.Starting with Indra, Agni and Varuna.This trimurthi later became Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu.In Xtianity they had the holy Trinity of The father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.
Please google Vedic Culture or Origin of the Vedas, before you primitive natives make a fool out of yourselves..

My friend. By all means question the facts of the article, after you have done your research.Shooting the messenger is the primitive and cowardly way out.
By the way, I spend about 12 years researching Asian civilisation, esp, middle eastern history.And have been to Thailand and Cambodia on numerous occasions. I have been visiting Seap Reap, yearly, for the last six years and has been following it’s history by books/old films and with Cambodian friends. I also did a lot of research on it’s involvement in the unjustified and undeclared Vietnam War.

We know that and we Khmer do accept the truth as our khmer proverbs goes “One cannot use the busket to cover the dead elephant”. We never reject any relation of our cultural existing with other countries, but to say we were slaves to others you may be wrong and it is the kind of ignorance that you identify us. You first should understand the meaning of word “Kumpujea” or “Khmer.”
The Son of the Khmer Empire
March 4, 2010 at 7:07 am
Son of Khmer, when I said ‘slaves’ I meant the workers who built the temples.Just like those who built the Taj and Great Wall of China.The workers paid with their lives.That’s slavery by any account.They were from the down trodden class or caste.Slave labour, something like what Pol Pot did.The Chinese used prisoners or ‘southerners’ as Royalty was reserved for the northern Han race only.
In Hinduism,the high priests, Kings and architects came from the Brahmin Caste.
The name,Kampuchea is derived from the Kingdom of Kamboja.In northern India, at the Hindu Kush.Near Mount. Meru, from which all the Hindu and Buddhist temples get their designs, including Angkor Wat.Most were dedicated to Vishnu.The lotus shaped buildings can be found all over Northern India and has been around for thousands of years before Angkor, esp, the ones dedicated to Hindu Gods.
Kamboja was an Aryan enclave.The very people who gave us Hinduism and one of whose son, from the palaces of Lumpini,Nepal,attained Nirvana.
They were Aryans.In Nepal, the world’s Only Hindu Kingdom, they are still called Shahis( noble ones).They are fair skinned people with european features.
The ‘workers’ there are the Gurkhas, tamangs and many other brown skinned races.All can easily pass off as Cambodians, Burmese,Laotians, Malaysians, Indonesians or even Filipinos.
If you need references, go google The Origin of Sanskrit or the Origin of Pali.
Pali,the writings and script of the south east asian countries , came from this place.Pali is from Sanskrit, the language of the Vedas.They were introduced to Burma and Cambodia by Buddhist Scholars, mainly from Sri Lanka.The Thais later adopted a different form of Pali, after their victory over the Khmers in 1431.
Most of Thai culture, religious and court rituals, were copied from the Khmers too.Then the word Thai did not exist.They were a Siamese race.Arch enemies of the Khmers just as the Viets were.
If you want to trace the historical timeline of the Khmers you can start from it’s writings.Angkor and Bagan temples of Burma were built in the 8th to 13th centuries. Burma has more than several thousand temples dedicated to both Hinduism and Buddhism and some were built from the 6th century.
Hinduism and Buddhism have been around for thousands of years.
Go google Mahabharatha or Vedas, and Temples of Bagan.
It’s a good learning process.

I dont agrue with you thé origin of our people since it historically recorded and researched, and even the Aryans were also claimed to be migrated from the Africa.
However, I just want to tell you that in our society´the term social classes are not well-practiced as they were in India and the term slave should not be termed with us.

History Buff is dumb and half ass with his history. Last time I’ve check age doesn’t matter but true knowledge dumb ass.
Khmer/Khom-mae/Kam-mae/Lamar/Kemet Kambujah is the same Iranian from Northern India whom migrated back toward Se-Asia after we were enslaved by Aryan Invader(European /Greek)depicted on Angkor Wat/ Nakor Vat.
Us Khmer speak “Mon Khmer” which can be traced back from Northern India into Se-Asia.
Angkor Wat is older than 12 centuary A.D(built by preah thong) not like what these white (distorted) historian claiming and making up the most dumbest shit like they won’t get caught.
Khmer oldest statue of Lord Shiva found in ancient Kingdom of FU-NAN /PH-NOM /OE OC site dated back to 2000 B.C. Our Khmer ancestor armor found dated back to 2,400 years ago,when these liars claimed he wasn’t capable of it smh .That meaning our Khmer kingdom is older than what these coward claimed.The warfare dried up over 5000 years ago (older than aryan 1500 b.c) so how can samkirt origin from aryan? When samkirt mention saravatti older than their civilization Lmfao.. history buff ? More like history dust 😂👍. Fun fact your white Jesus is stolen from Asian heritage haha.
