Cambodia To-do:

Let us work in the best reference and presentation of archaeological sites of Cambodia beyond Angkor like Sambor Prei Kuk, Angkor Borei (Takeo), etc.

Should disambiguate Republican Party for Democracy and Renewal and generally try to link up social conscience with right-wing values.

I'm looking for the best picture or any informations about the KAF's U-6 (Beaver). It seem that the KAF had 3 aircrafts. But in 1971, during the viet cong's sapper attack at the Pochentong Air Base,at least 1 Beaver was destroyed.In 1972 at leat 1 Beaver was refurbished with a new engine. http://www.khmerairforce.com/AAK-KAF/AVNK-AAK-KAF/Cambodia-Beaver-KAF.JPG

Flag

it's a nonsense... --Shivanarayana (talk) 12:18, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So where / what means Khmer / Kambujadesa and where does it come from ?

e.g. Brussels comes from Broek Zele = flemish for a wet place with small settlements. Thy SvenAERTS (talk) 01:37, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Flag of Khmer Empire

What is the reference for the flag of the Khmer Empire? I have not seen any books indicating this was the flag of the Khmer Empire. RalphDibney (talk) 02:56, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Flag

I don’t think that flag is accurate, the real Khmer empire flag has a white Angkor wat in front of a red background not a triangle with a green outline and a yellow inside - 2601:192:8701:B4C0:0:0:0:D14A (talk) 14:57, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Error that needs clarification - in History / Formation and Growth / Jayavarman II section

It looks there is an error in this section. The following paragraph ends with a period but then has an add-on that talks about "The Lords of Mountains," but then that same sentence fragment is used about Sailendras in the next paragraph.

Specifically:

Note the period after "(Sanskrit: Deva Raja)" followed by "The Lords of Mountains." "...At that ceremony Prince Jayavarman II was proclaimed a universal monarch (Cambodian: Kamraten jagad ta Raja) or God King (Sanskrit: Deva Raja). or "The Lords of Mountains", hence the concept of Deva Raja or God King was ostensibly imported from Java."

Note the next paragraph: "...According to some sources, Jayavarman II had resided for some time in Java during the reign of Sailendras, or "The Lords of Mountains", hence the concept of Deva Raja or God King was ostensibly imported from Java."

Can someone who knows more than I do correct this? Thank you. – Kekki1978 talk 05:09, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Zhou Daguan

Zhou Daguan wasn't an expert of the Khmer Empire. He was a diplomat from China that wrote what he observe. Historians and archaeologist can't find evidence to support some of his statements. Furthermore, his accounts of the Khmer Empire are of one period of time and doesn't reflect what the Khmer Empire was like in different centuries. These factors should be considered when interpreting Zhou Daguan's statements. HarimauCampo (talk) 16:32, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sanskrit name of the Khmer empire

Hi fellow contributors! I am doubtful about the Sanskrit name mentioned: weren't Angkorian Sanskrit inscriptions written in the old Khmer script and not Devanagari? Pierrevang3 (talk) 23:58, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Probably? If you can find or write the Sanskrit name in Old Khmer script, then the Devanagari would (should) be replaced. Yue🌙 23:38, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm adding it Pierrevang3 (talk) 11:27, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Like Yue🌙 18:33, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

the map of the Khmer empire?

Why does the picture of the Khmer Empire still include the Gulf of Thailand? The Gulf of Thailand at that time probably did not belong to Thailand, this is a false detail. 171.101.227.247 (talk) 03:01, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Gulf of Thailand has never "belonged" to Thailand, nor has Thailand ever claimed to "own" it. "Gulf of Thailand" is just a common name derived from its location. Yue🌙 03:56, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fake map of Khmer without historical evidence supports. 2001:44C8:44CE:4999:715C:D2BC:C730:19EE (talk) 19:47, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Translation of Chakravartin

The text currently says that the literal translation of Chakravartin is 'universal ruler'. This is not the literal translation but is a common gloss. The literal translation is 'wheel turner' as the Chakravarti (Sanskrit term) page correctly has it. The page is semi-protected so I can not fix it right now, but either the correct literal translation should be supplied or the current translation identified as figurative. --2600:1700:6CB0:BCA0:D078:E2CE:1DDD:C103 (talk) 06:25, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Yue🌙 16:27, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Khmer Empire represents a shared history for present-day Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and parts of Vietnam.

The current map of Khmer empire show that its including present-day Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and parts of Vietnam. Why this topic only mention Cambodia? Very inaccurate. Banrai11 (talk) 02:08, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fact:

The Khmer Empire, a Hindu-Buddhist empire flourishing in Southeast Asia from 802 to 1431, was centered in a region encompassing parts of present-day Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. It emerged from the earlier civilization of Chenla. The empire's most renowned capital, Angkor, gives its name to this era in the history of the region. At its zenith, the Khmer Empire exerted significant influence over much of mainland Southeast Asia, extending its reach as far north as southern China. The empire's vastness rivaled that of the Byzantine Empire, a contemporary power. Banrai11 (talk) 02:18, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
