Book excerpt: The Khmer Empire of ancient Cambodia, which flourished from the 9th to the 15th century, gave birth to some of the world's richest works of art and architecture. At its peak in the 12th century, Khmer civilization extended throughout continental Southeast Asia and culminated in the construction of the magnificent temple of Angkor Wat, the walled city of Angkor Thom and the temples of the Bayon. The whole culture was influenced by the language and religions (both Hinduism and Buddhism) inherited from India, but Khmer art soon adapted those models into its own highly original work - the glorious monuments and expessive sculpture that form part of its heritage.

Book excerpt: *Includes pictures *Includes contemporary accounts *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading The Khmer Empire, also known as the Angkor Empire, was a powerful empire of Southeast Asia that was established in 802 CE and ended in 1431 with the invasion of the Siamese and abandonment of Angkor. The Khmer Empire was responsible for many of the historic monuments and temples found throughout the jungles of modern-day Cambodia, and also in other countries of Southeast Asia, all made possible by the fact the Khmer Empire reached across modern-day Cambodia, parts of Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam, making it a strategic trading partner with ships traveling from China and India. Of all the architecture, the empire is best known for constructing Angkor Wat, one of the modern world's greatest wonders. Known in English as Angkor Wat ("City Temple"), the gigantic complex was built by King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century to serve as the king's state temple and capital city. Since it has remained so finely preserved, it has maintained religious significance for nearly 900 years, first dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu, and then Buddhist. Understandably, it has become one of Cambodia's most potent symbols and tourist attractions, and it even appears on the Cambodian national flag. Angkor Wat continues to fascinate the world, both due to its sheer grandeur and size, as well as its ornamental decorations both inside and out. With political strife in Cambodia having cooled, Angkor Wat is now a major tourist attraction, bringing upwards of over half a million foreigners per year, which accounts for over half of the nation's tourists. As a result, the long-lasting influence that this empire had on the people of Cambodia can still be felt today, with Angkor Wat being featured on the national flag. The Khmer Empire: The History and Legacy of One of Southeast Asia's Most Influential Empires chronicles the remarkable history of the Khmer and their impact on the region. Along with pictures depicting important people, places, and events, you will learn about the Khmer Empire like never before.

Book excerpt: This is a history of the Khmers, the people who for thousands of years inhabited the wooded interior of Cambodia.

Book Synopsis The Khmer Empire in Southeast Asia: Who Were the Khmer People? by : Edith Bonneau
Download or read book The Khmer Empire in Southeast Asia: Who Were the Khmer People? written by Edith Bonneau and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-27 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Khmer empire was a powerful state in South East Asia, formed by people of the same name, lasting from 802 CE to 1431 CE. At its peak, the empire covered much of what today is Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, and southern Vietnam. This captivating guide through the history of the Khmer Empire captures this ideology of Khmer kingship and dissects it so it is understandable to Western readers. But this book also tells the stories of the great kings who ruled the empire, or at least those stories that are known to us from the little sources that were left behind. For no matter how great the Khmer Empire was, there was little left behind. The temple steles are written more as if they are inventory lists than a story of its patrons. Nevertheless, the temples were built with great symbolism in mind. Their size, orientation, construction, and their decorations were all carefully chosen to represent their Hindu or Buddhist belief system. There is a hidden meaning behind every stone laid down, behind every tower constructed and bas-relief engraved. But many of these mysteries are yet to be discovered. Immerse yourself in the pages of this book to learn: -Who were the Khmer people? -Who was the Devarajan that founded the Empire of Angkor? -What is the symbolism behind some of the greatest temples in the world? -Who built Angkor Wat, and with what purpose? -How did a whole nation convert to Buddhism in under one century? -Who was Jayavarman VII, and what made him the most powerful king of the Khmer? -How did such a great empire fall into oblivion? -How was it rediscovered and rebuilt? -And much more!
