Continue to Chun Chan Son Relate offer Angkorian Khmer civilization and the reasons that cause collapse:

Most studies considered Angkorian era heyday of the Khmer civilization. This evidence, based on the reasons that, from the 9th century to the 13th century Khmer ancestors built, culture, social justice develops advanced and urged the country to have made a name as a powerhouse in Southeast Asia. Large area of ​​modern culture, including waste massive ruins almost throughout the entire Indochina inscription art rich and ancient statues countless other objects extant today is tangible evidence confirmed the prosperity of civilization Khmer Angkor.

This glorious era religion has a very important function. Some observed the king king of Shiva Vishnu Brahma king and the king some Buddhists. However, the Khmer king in that era most protective care of other religions to live peace with each other. Because of major religious belief, the Temple Mount was built to uphold the "cult of penis" for deposit holders of Shiva Vishnu statues for holders Vishnu as Angkor Wat in the reign of King Jayavarman VII Sorya 2 upheld the Buddha statue is "Buddha" for the Buddhist Bayon temple reign Jayavarman 7.

In many temples dedicated ground construction of low quality as a sanctuary or other ancestors who some historians preferably called "doctrinal individualism," he added. In other words, is by faith to the religious cult or Vishnu or Buddha and the king became the representative deity representative on earth or incarnation of the Deity, or Bodhisattva characters who live on earth with people to help save the world infected endangered planet try to build happiness to humanity. Try to build a paradise earth, following the example of unparalleled luxury good, which we see as waste water Baray temple, hospitals, bridges, roads amassed so far today.

The king of the Angkorian Empire has a strong power and prosperity. He owns land on all political leaders, both locally and internationally as an outstanding military commander in the Battle led troops with strong discipline and energy, as many inscriptions, praised the king's military advantages that predominantly techdai Despite strong hand outstanding victories over enemies. Court and religious needs. His hearing two times a day for handling national affairs.

Mr Zhou Daguan member of the Chinese diplomats who visited Khmer at the end of the 13th century, described the conversion from coming out of the king: In front of the parade, soldiers then have a flag bearer and music. Next, women have between 300 and 500 people have clothes with wooden rods padded leaves flowers hidden in a jumpsuit hair, hands holding candles during the day were also burned. Women with other vessels of gold and silver and all the ornaments are different . Women bodyguards holding a spear and a shield. Cart goat, horse carts were decorated with gold accessories. Kings and rulers nobles were riding more than 100 elephants and parasols painted gold. The latest is the king, who was standing on elephants and PKR. This predominantly ivory overlaid with gold. Stealth parasols king over twenty gold colorful parasols and there are also overlaid with gold. There are many other elephants accompanied him and other soldiers to protect him. Any person who saw the king must kneel and bow their heads to the ground.

Although the Kingdom of Angkor have a broad mandate, but he was not dictatorial ruling class because he was disciplined monarch religious discipline that is, he was a justice tosapith. For example inscriptions described cow: Indravarman make rich people are happy with the execution of three disciplinary clause.

For people, the King's heart always gracious mercy. In fact, all the temples Criminal top four faces representing Brahma vihearothmr Krishna immortal hand of King Jayavarman 7, the existing evidence. Not only his hospital inscription says: people hurt him more than his own because the public is hurt and pain all the king's own pain, not make him pain.

In the economic sector, with respect to the objectives of religion and ideas for arable agriculture or pool Baray enormous big dams Canal fisheries legal system has also been built franca, which promotes the national economy has grown significantly. Zhou Daguan document states that "Khmer back then could field three or four times a year." Hang Amsterdam and Berlin, a Swiss national experts calculations that on an area of ​​1,000 square kilometers in the Angkor area, they can produce in a year up to a hundred and fifty thousand tons, which can feed up to five hundred thousand people, and the remaining 40% could lead to supply other areas . Is inhabited by enormous economic growth, and to encourage participation by people fresh in building temples cult, as well as Buddhist or any other faith.

Arts, culture and education has grown significantly as a major architectural construction considerable dramatic sculptures, inscriptions music Deluxe dance as evidence. In almost all major temples for the library books Professor documents. Khmer higher academic centers such as the Temple of Preah Khan or college or King Jayavarman 7 appointed princess Indra Devi, his consort, who learned knowledge to the environment beyond the enamel priest there.

But the prosperity of this great civilization crisis, prolonged religious conflicts in the end of this session pushed to collapse Until there is a change of dynasty king Jayavarman Khmer Vong Vong sweet cucumber. Khmer territory west is losing gradually until finally the glorious capital of Angkor and strong decline in hand control of Thailand to go twice. And at the end of Angkor was abandoned forever by King Yat changed since new capital in Bashan and in places Chaktomok in 1432 or 1434 of the Common Era.
