Angkor Wat History: Angkor Wat Information

The big moment of the dream is come truth this was the time that I am going to pass the gate for the lost city of Khmer. The country that today is call Cambodia is only a small piece from the great empire that Khmers build, they was control the biggest part of Indochina. From the start of the 13 century the empire composed in them kingdom the Cambodia, the south Vietnam, the Lao and the Thailand. From the time of Javararman the second an till the middle of the 15 century the empire was famous with the name kingdom of Camboujia or kingdom of Founan, the name Camboujia is come from the Indian Brahman Cambou the English word Cambodia is coming from his name. A lot of people in Cambodia they believe that all the roots of Siam is coming from the Khmers.

Angkor is one of the most mysterious historical place on earth for many years was forgotten in the eyes of the west civilization. France rulers was the first westerns that they explore Angkor Wat and they was listening legends and stories for temples that the was living Gods and Giants the most of the colonials they not believe the local people when they talk about the legends. After years one France minority, is brig to the light the lost city in 1819. Hendry Mahout, one a France botanologist he start researches and restorations programs. In the start of the research they believing that the temples was not create from the Cambodians but from another Ancient tribe that was living there 2000 years ago. But this theory was proof incorrect because the archeologist they fix all ready piece by piece the history of Khmer. Today everybody knows that Angkor wat was the capital of Khmer empire. The try of this restorations was end in 1968 that the war of Vietnam begins. The Hinduism and the Chinese effect was intense in Cambodia that's why Angkor wat temples is very seminal with the temples that they found in north India and the Nepal.  Today many archaeologist from all of the world they protect and they restore Angkor because many secrets of Angkor Wat History is still not found. My tour in Angkor was finish with the best way on the top of the hills you see one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world. For me the trip in Cambodia it was a trip back in History there that one of the biggest empire in Asia was setting  for many years.
