Angkor Wat was built at the behest of the Khmer king Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yaśodharapura (present-day Angkor), the capital of the Khmer Empire, as his state temple and eventual mausoleum. Angkor Wat combines two basic plans of Khmer temple architecture: the temple-mountain and the later galleried temple. It is designed to represent Mount Meru, home of the devas in Hindu mythology and is surrounded by a moat more than 5 km (3.1 mi). Enclosed within an outer wall 3.6 kilometres (2.2 mi) long are three rectangular galleries, each raised above the next. At the centre of the temple stands a quincunx of towers. Unlike most Angkorian temples, Angkor Wat is oriented to the west with scholars divided as to the significance of this. The temple complex fell into disuse before being restored in the 20th century with various international agencies involved in the project. The temple is admired for the grandeur and harmony of the architecture, its extensive bas-reliefs and devatas adorning its walls. The Angkor area was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992. Considered by some experts to be the largest religious structure in the world, it is regarded as one of the best examples of Khmer architecture and a symbol of Cambodia, depicted as a part of the Cambodian national flag. The Angkor Wat is a major tourist attraction and attracts more than 2.5 million visitors every year.

This is a traditional Iranian sport rooted in Iran's religious and spiritual teachings and values. It is accompanied by verses from the Shahnameh and praises of Islamic figures, especially Imam Ali, the first Imam of the Shiites.

Nice to see you and myself. Greetings from Hunza. Ejaz

حلايب وشلاتين سودانيه

in our country we don't have peasants! every iranian group is in the same level. While in ancient "house of power" you become part of a lifestyle were kid's learn about being a strong and honest person with story's of legendary warriors in ancient iran history who battled across the world mixed with Sufisma and poetry which creates people who establish empires like Achaemenid, Parthian and Sasanian's

This is the crown jewel in David Adams' catalog. It is as good as Ken Burns 'Civil War', my benchmark for a great documentary, though it's completely different. At great risk, expense, logistical planning, historical research, and adventurism Adams takes you to a fascinating distant world in an area on the globe that makes your eyes glaze over as you turn it. You will see and learn of things you have never known to have existed. The computer generated digital mock-ups of the ancient unknown places he finds are splendid. Mr Adams deserves to be paid for this series via dvd boxset only. I only got to see it because I checked it out of the library. His maps of the changing freshwater sea/river routes after the last ice age grip your attention as you see into a vanished developed world equal to any in that neolithic time.

In india we have similar if not identical wrestling practices we even use the word Zor for strength

What garbage commentary.

WHY CANT I FIND THIS SERIES ANYWHERE?!? USA has sh!t for history and can’t even find the decent series’ online

Fantastic video

It's not an "Islamic martial art"; it's the IRANIAN martial art. Arabs & Turks don't have Zoorkhaneh.

It’s honestly sad that scientists are using satellite technology to find them all. I think we should explore them manually.

👍👍👍

Lord Buddha was born in Nepal 🙏🙏🙏🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵

Cool down NIZ boys...

Pharoahs were BLACK Africans from the beginning of time. 14,000 year old burials of Kings were photographed with its pottery jewelry etc in the Nubian museum in Aswan The Western Asian, Greek, Roman foreigners who sat on the Egyptian Thrones were not indigenous to the Nile Valley. NUBIA is the SOURCE of this culture 🙄This is an uneducated video. Let this Egyptologist from Berlin University below educate you 🙄 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoTPqKtumtN8sK8

Who the heck wrote the commentary?! Honestly, who thinks the earth has ever been static? It's had regular upheavals in climate ever since it was formed!

Does anyone know where/how we can watch this series? Unfortunately not available on Amazon prime. Happy to buy!

Will you be doing more of this type of thing in future? I'm an engineer with a passion for history and would volunteer to help.

Stone cold Steve Austin is next on the invite list

As a Iranian I should say, in a Zoor khaneh the first and the last rule is respect to your opponent, specially when they are foreigner or guest.

Another bad part is that Thailand was able to steel a big chunk of land from Cambodia.

These people are the disbelievers this is all haram in islam

Even early European philosophers studied in Africa

Was curious about why this one disappeared off of Vimeo, but I see it's here, so that's okay.

Awesome. A privilege to witness indeed

I can not watch this in Ireland. I'm gutted as I love David Adams series. They are magical

We got these MREs after a hurricane once. I loved them.

Where i could find the full episode?

Zoorkhaneh does not have Islamic roots. While Persians struggled to resist the Arab invasion and there by Islam, Iranians gave the Zoorkhaneh a religious veneer that seemed Islamic. In fact, many of its rituals are from the Ancient Persian culture. At the core of it Zoorkhaneh is a place where men learn to be men by acquiring the codes of chivalry…. In competition, you’ll notice that all Iranian wrestler are very curious of their opponents. As a foreign team visiting Iran for a friendly match, they often let you wine the first match. There’s a beautiful delicacy about this culture.

This exploration will ultimately lead you to ancient Indian history and civilization.

Where can I watch this free .
