Angkor Wat's entire outer gallery is covered from floor to ceiling with ornate bas-relief carvings that are a masterpiece in and of themselves.

I was amazed when I visited Angkor Wat , it’s really magnificent how it was built.

@mckoylach1622 3 жыл бұрын

First of all, I am truly amazed by all of the achievements of the whole Angkor Wat’s geometric designs and perfections. Looking at all of those carvings in Angkor,I can imagine how skillful the Khmer stone masons were. The achievements that seem impossible this day and unrivaled. Just incredible...

Short and very valuable coverage on the key elements of the super majestic wonder that is Angkor Wat! Thanks to Smithsonian for highlighting the stories from Hindu epics & puranas that these reliefs/carvings depict. The Hindu history of Angkor Wat is thus undeniable even though King Suryavarman later on converted to Buddhism & added the buddhist elements later on.

Ancient Indian and Ancient Khmer were close friendship since ancient time. Ancient India has relationship with Ancient Khmer through trade and diplomatic relations. Ancient Indian sailors travel to Cambodia and share its belief as Hinduism to the Khmer Empire our Khmer King tolerated and discover Induism as its enlightening religious. Since Induism religion has influence during Khmer Empire . Angkor Wat has some Induism architectural but it doesn’t meant India build the Temple . Angkor Wat its build by Khmer King Suryavarman in the first half of 12th Centuries.

Please refrain from prejudice, use reason and evidence to find out the truth.❣ There are probably many people in this world who want to know. The story of the ancient world, the truth is greater than fiction. Thailand (Siam) give orders to build the wonders of the world called Angkor Wat.👽🤖 Cambodian people are just tribesmen who sell labor to build Angkor Wat.🤔 If you search, you will find many evidence such as ancient inscriptions. Either in China, Burma or Vietnam, leading to the belief that Siam is the real owner of Angkor Wat. The Khmers are not the real owners of Angkor Wat. Suryavarman II came from Siam. Evidence from stone carvings indicates that great kings such as Suryavarman II came from Thailand's Lopburi province. King Jayavarman V traveled from Phimai in Thailand. The Kingdom of Siam predates the Angkor Wat era.☺ For example, the name of the Kingdom of Lawo. Dvaravati Kingdom All of these were established by Siam. Lawo Kingdom located in the area of Lopburi Province on the land of Thailand at present Lawo people speak Thai words ancient Thai language🧐 If there is information to discuss, there should be an on-stage debate.Must have representatives from many countries came to listen as witnesses and judges such as Indians, the origin of civilization🕘 There are various evidences of Siam to explain to humans to discover the truth. and unanimously summarized Angkor Wat data because truth is truth💯👀

It is such a wonderful history of our Khmer history, however we should not just live in the past. Considering what Khmer used to be in the pre-industrialised time, we should not be what we are now. We should learn our past history and use it as an example to make Cambodia better. We don't need to be big as the past in order to be better, but we need justice, freedom and better economy to drive our country moving forward. Cheers.

How does one train hundreds of carvers to carve in the same style. The Vincent van Gogh movie used one hundred artists with the aid of google, art school, books and experts in the style of Vincent. There's a lot more to these structures than meets the eye. Etymology suggests nagara which relates to the serpent or like in Europe na peisteanna or priests. I would try and connect starforts and other water related structures to get a better understanding of this amazing structure.

@@nishan.tmg7 Okay genius. I don't understand Hindi but I'll provide my response by judging your first comment. I'm quite aware of Jakarta tales of Buddhism. However Mahabharata and Ramayana came first. Ramayana was written by Valmiki and Mahabharata by Veda Vyasa. Neither of them were Buddhists. These stories were them adopted by Buddhism and had its own narratives of the same story. Samudra madhana is strongly and mainly depicted in hindu mythology, not in Buddhism. If so, why it is carved on the walls of Angkor Wat? In that case what is Vishnu's murti is doing there? Why many hindu reliefs are still present in Angkor Wat and as well as in many parts of Cambodia? Dasharata Jataka mentions that Rama was Buddha's previous avatar. Don't believe me? Do your research. Don't manipulate history and facts, history clearly that the temples was build for Vishnu. Now converted to Buddhist temple. Yet Vishnu is still revered there. Stop being biased and accept genuine facts and history. Simple as that. Don't be a bigot ya.
