Hi Sir. I thought this statue of "Yeay Mao" was actually created by a Khmer military commander named Mok Hoeun who has now become the supporter of the present-day Cambodian government.
Let me asking you Mr. Chandy, Jayavarman 2 and Jayavarman the 7th they are all worshiped to Shiva Linga, are they whorshiped ... because they need that like Yay Mao? You should findout all around Angkor erea, it has many Shiva Linga, did someone need to have s** like Yay Mao?, there are 1001 Shiva Linga in Kulen Mountain, fall erea, Why 1001 Shiva Linga? someone need ....it ? For me Shiva Linga represented form of vital of creation, energy of Blue hole (Scientific terme black hole) energy of the engine of (cylindric). If you should invented an engine you should created an energy of motor. Congratulations for your very interesting reseachs.
