Do not worrie, GOD IS ALWAYS ON TIME. And CHRIST shall return again . The only reason He haven't come yet, is because you are still unsaved, GOD calls you home also: 2 Peter 3:9chapter context similar meaning copy save The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. John 3:15chapter context similar meaning copy save That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. Every time you worried and complain that GOD haven´t returned yet, ask these question from yourself; HAVEN'T I GOTTEN SAVED YET? DID I CAME TO REPENTANCE? Acts 17:30chapter context similar meaning copy save And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: The time is ticking, place your hand on your chest, on that side where your heart is, can you feel it, the pumping inside your chest? Can you hear you heart beating? - your heart, dear soul is the clock of your lifetime.

[@raksrulesaks]

@@PJCC_BAISH ma’am as a scholar in Indian history, and from my own research that’s quite the disturbing comment. Given it’s a fact the Chola empire of Tamil Nadu (and you can read about this if you care. Ofc I assume you don’t given your evident ignorance) influenced the spread of Hinduism from Bhutan to Laos (all of Southeast Asia), and had even Indonesia, Maldives and potentially further south. The chola empire is considered an empire of influence (though I would hasten to disagree with this Eurocentric assessment as evidence of colonization is clear). The cholas infused elements of Dravidian script into many of these nations, and if you ever note the length of the names of countries like Thailand of Myanmar or Cambodia, it has a characteristic length to it very much influenced by ancient Chola tradition. Before you mock me or question me know that I’m an expert in this field, that I know my stuff, and that to this day, Indians are HEAVILY involved in the restoration work of Angkor Wat, key to the Sanskrit interpretation and the Hindu placement of much of what is seen in Cambodia. That’s what this documentary doesn’t cover. Or the fact Indian archeologists risked their lives even during the Khmer Rouge (where Pol Pot wanted to murder all Hindus) to continue restoring the temple complex. Ignorance, and being wrong is simply not appreciated by someone who has spent one’s whole life studying these things. But sure, you, whose evidently NOT an expert has a level of authority to write such rude and nasty comments.

The walls of the temple have reliefs that tell the story of the creation of the world (with the churning of the ocean of milk) as well as many Hindu stories and myths mostly ingrained in ancient Hindu religion, involving Garuda, apsaras, and shiva just to name drop some history ….truly magnificent ancient history and worth the visit for any history buffs out there

When people are so shocked that humans couldn't design any of these monuments tall structures and claim only Aliens could've done that, they're basically forgetting that these were humans too. Look at the stuff we build today. They had the exact same brain capacity and sophistication as we have today. We're the same species. If we placed a bunch of humans of different professions (architects, doctors&herbalists, teachers, horticulturist, merchants, farmers etc.) in an area and without any modern technology and then told them to utilise everything in their environment to survive and to build magnificent structures. They definitely could! Why is it suddenly different when a few thousand years and taken away? Humans naturally have an ability to coordinate, adapt and problem solve to work together. It's what makes us unique and has been the case for 1000s of years.

Where, anywhere in the world, today, are people building and carving structures like that by hand?

The shallow bay at the foot of Troy would have sheltered the shallow drafted boats of the time. Very importantly, the prevailing winds favored boat travel to Troy. A thousand years BC, tacking into the wind was a technique that was unknown. The winds are seasonal there.

Only two old civilizations manipulated water in this way in a similar environment... that would be the Khmer and the Maya. Half the year is dry, and only by maintaining those water cisterns can civilization survive. It was a delicate system, and that's why they both fell.

Architectures of Hinduism. Fascinating, captivating and marvelous. Thank you for such a wonderful documentary ❤️

I have studied circuit boards for a few decades & when I saw Angkor Wat from the air it reminded me of a motherboard. The layout similarities are there. Circuit & components.

[@mixmixki3283]

Thank you for sharing about Angkor Wat

[@cindylewis6556]

Would you make up a year long journal about a real city.

[@michaelcurtis4418]

These places are thousands of years older than they say that they were built ! So many of the stones, we can't move they from were they were quarried to were they were placed in building the structures ! If we can't do it today ! How was it moved and built !

Fascinating how ancient civilizations fade into obscurity, leaving behind only echoes of their glory. Yet, for some, like Angkor Wat, the allure remains timeless, drawing us closer to their mysterious past.

[@cheaplaughkennedy2318]

Really interesting episode.

[@lourdesgriengo5278]

Such an informative video.Does civilization go around not forward?

[@NoName.NotNamed]

All of life does.

The Royal palace at Nokor Thom is the central point of the empire. The kingdom had other smaller palaces across the empire with different rulers. It’s weird that the only records available is by a Chinese when the Khmer empire was in close contact with the Siam, Java and Malay and Sri Lanka too, champa too but they no longer exist to have much records left. The Khmer cities were plundered and looted and many things were taken to other kingdoms during wartime so maybe check them out.

[@mr.k1611]

There are records. It just fell into the wrong hands. Also, pol pot.

[@genevacordoba5959]

THANKYOU FOR SHARING THAT. SO MUCH TO LEARN IN JUST 1 LIFETIME..........💛

[@gigisong81]

I think u completely missed the point. They didn't say the only proof ever existed was by a Chinese guy but they are talking bout the Chinese man's description of how grand the city was. They already know it existed. They are literally talking bout how big it was, how grand n how sophisticated the city really was. It's not that his is the only record ever in the past. And this is specifically about this particular city not the empire.

[@bennyvontrap5843]

Because he brought it to the world's attention and made its existence available to know for the rest of the world and researched and documented it which the locals had not done,
