A Mystery of Angkor Warfighting - Revealed

[@stampfle]

Brilliant! What a great way to explain a complex subject.

[@CarterOnConflict]

Thank you so much for your comment Richard, those keep me motivated.

Dear Paul, Another well researched study. A nice methodical way to conclude the reasoning when the documentary evidence is limited. It's good to see a study in this under-explored and under-researched subject. Keep digging the gems in this region.

[@CarterOnConflict]

I am pleased you enjoyed the video, thank you for your comments!

[@philipbonner2218]

Thanks Paul. Your study and findings were, as usual, supported by very thorough research. I visited Phimai in '79, before much restoration had been completed. So intriguing!

[@CarterOnConflict]

Phil, thank you for your comment, I am glad you enjoyed. Nice that you got to visit Phi Mai before restoration, in some ways, that’s a more pure experience - I’m envious.

@@shanghaiyancey buddy, always good to hear from my friend from LA Isaan :-) thank you

Another very good job. I learned a lot that I didn't know about.

[@CarterOnConflict]

I learn much from you as well, so I am glad I can reciprocate, and I do appreciate your comment Andy.

Certainly strange and unexpected the lack of defensive measures; Great video Paul!!

Thank you for your comment. Can you provide more information please?

[@ianjones4071]

Hi another outstanding video, i saw historic account of Burmese princess's riding in battles on elephants on the front line's, thank you for making this video, i have a soft spot for stone works cheers mate. 🍻

[@CarterOnConflict]

@@ianjones4071 dude, nobody watches this video and it is one of my favorites! Now, it was one of my very first videos so the quality isn’t as good as the latter ones but I still think it has sone pretty incredible info. I honestly am so appreciative you watched it and that you messaged me Ian.

[@CarterOnConflict]

@@ianjones4071 and the historic account of a Burmese princess on an elephant into battle - yes, classic stuff that sounds amazing. Could you just quickly tell me (us) a little more about that?

[@ianjones4071]

@CarterOnConflict hi it was some time ago, if I remember right it was a recount about woman warriors, solders going into battle, it hink against whoever they went up against cheers mate 👍

[@dodgerblue7381]

Thank You Sir. I do not know if we will ever know for sure for the lack of defenses at Angkor Wat. It is certainly beautiful Architecture. Pure speculation on my part is as you suggested they may have felt that a Supreme Being would animate the stone figures to protect their home. How they survived for so long is beyond me. The population estimate spread is rather large. Estimated 100,000 to 1.9 million? Very interesting

[@CarterOnConflict]

Dodger Blue, a major archaeological study was released since my video that says the population was of that upper level. But as you say, why they neglected the defenses may never be known but yes, I think as you say it may be they felt some supernatural power was protecting them. Thanks for viewing, and good luck in the up coming season. I guess baseball is upon us!
