The Story of Khmer Great Empire Part 1

[@minniehoho]

This animation looks great. I love it! ^^ I am Thai, and I was in Siem Reap for the first time about a month ago. I was so impressed by the greatness of Angkor Wat and the Khmer civilization. Personally, I believe we Thai have borrowed many things from the Khmer. Some of the vocabulary we use today are originally Khmer words, but most of us don't realize that.

[@JP-wx6uh]

Absolutely. So many things were similar, because the Siamese and Khmer together once fought against the Mon Empire (Burma) because the Siamese were living in the western part of the Khmer Empire (Sukotai, etc.).

[@vansy118]

Wow!! Finally a person who would who our Khmer culture this way. So educating. I will show this to my kids.

[@reylopez55]

I have nothing to do with Asian culture. But that doesn't stop me from realizing some of the greatests wonders, some of the first, and civilizations, and the culture of the asian world is fascinating and wonderful. I have read many accounts of Thai, Khmer, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian, and Tibetan culture and can't get enough. Everytime I learn something, I want more. I only wish this video series were in English so I could learn more about it.

[@yinukify]

thx so much for upload this Khmer Great Empire. I do LOVE it!!

[@angelchouk]

NICE!!! This story needs to be told ... I'm glad you uploaded the movie for all to see. Great job!!! I wish I can see the full version of this, but this is a good start.

[@lchan90a]

how cool! very good animation. i never knew that kind of history about cambodia.what a great way to show people the rich history of the khmer empire.

[@reelpuppet]

This is awesome, i can see we are in the progress of building Cambodia, sooner we will see an epic film soon. Thanks for sharing. All the best!

[@inoout]

can't understand a thing but still watching... aha

[@besdongrboskhmer]

WOW wat a great vidoe ! u should do this in english too ! so the world can know , i think they will enjoy it ! because khmer change name to CAMBODIA KINGDOM WONDER ! proud to be khmer ! thx for the video !

[@minniehoho]

Jumreap Sua, Unfortunately when we learn history, we can't never be sure it's 100% correct. Each has its own version. That's why it's necessary to be as careful as possible when talking about the same thing which has been recorded by different people. Anyway, I love Khmer civilization and always wish to learn more about it.

[@KhmerKandal]

Not just a great documentary, but very informative.😘😘😘😘✌✌✌✌

[@archphkai]

Oh! it 's great. I will post it in my blog.

[@kasem63]

[@hotpopcorncake]

[@phonnchannra9802]

thanks you for your narration!

[@riththy671]

Thanks 4 yr posted.

[@boohowdoy]

I don't think this is the final version of it. Wondering if anyone knows how I can get a copy of this possibly in high quality dvd

[@sidmann]

wow this great, where can i get it on dvd?

[@mariakheav]

this is so amazing i love it

[@NoMaD1510]

omg the graphic is magnificent!

[@minniehoho]

Jumreap Sua, I've heard that idea before. However, it's just a 'hypothesis' made by a group of historians, not a judgement, and not all historians hold that view. I think people in general accept that the Khom were ancestors of Khmer people today - or at least I do.

[@dan4love]

man it so cool!!!

[@chongtak]

OK this is a good answer

[@Cambodiot]

Lon Nol (លន់នល់ in Khmer) (​November 13, 1913 - November 17, 1985) was a Cambodian politician and soldier who served as Prime Minister of Cambodia twice as well as serving repeatedly as Defense Minister. He proclaimed himself, after a coup against Norodom Sihanouk president of the newly formed Khmer Republic.

i love the music at 2:23

[@whitekryptonite91]

@Bravo0seven hi! where can i read more about what you just said about the story of naga princess and, "If the greed continue than one day the land will go back to the sea."

[@Soksabai79]

Great Khmer Empire, never been occupied by the Mongol and Khmers helped all Thai refugees to become Thais today.

[@LordLebu]

where to get the english version ?

[@davidvid3959]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5DKaXmfmb-re9k very long time for the link LOL

[@minniehoho]

Currently, I can't speak Khmer, but I know some simple words and greetings. I use the word 'currently' because I'm about to take an elementary course on Khmer language next month. Hopefully, I won't have to speak English with Khmer sellers next time I visit Cambodia. :)

[@thanetss]

It look interesting story, translate to english please... ^_^

[@minniehoho]

Jumreap Sua, If you are talking about Preah Vihear, I just don't care who owns it as long as I can sometimes visit the temple and appreciate its greatness. Personally I think it should be taken care of by Khmer people, because it was built by your ancestors. Anyway, it's just my own opinion which no one will listen to, and the real problem is about the territory, not the temple itself.

[@lifes40123]

can there be subtitles or something dude

[@akasenaaki8941]

I met Jayavarman VII. I felt very bad as he told Preah Akine and me that he was dead by poison before the war started at Angkor by some people that were planted to stay close to him. His body was tied with rock and dumped into water at East Baray. Then he took a deep breath and said. I was a looser in the past, but I will alway win for the future. He went to study mighty power at heaven, and now he is at Angkor Wat with his groups.

[@konkhmer-tm1tt]

like love

[@titouille100]

Great civilization. The big one in Asia but there are so much roobers around the khmer Empire and some kings didn't gouvern well. Their love of power took over the power of love.

[@minniehoho]

You're right. In fact it seems too harsh to use the word 'steal', because adjacent cultures normally influence each other. Loads of words in Khmer come from Pali and Sanskrit. Should we say that the Khmer 'steal'? I don't think so. Actually there's no point in arguing about this. Thailand and Cambodia are neighbors and friends. The fact that we are so alike in many ways should contribute to our good relationship, not destroy it.

[@somano4]

I'm so proud to a Khmer kid.

[@mariakheav]

hello i'm Cambodia and is that wrong or what i was just wondering haha how do u know i'm into Thai stuff will i love Khmer stuff to u know

[@TheSocheth]

I like too much !

[@minniehoho]

By the way, thanks for your warning. I'm not keen on meeting spirits of all kinds, but my teacher who studies Khmer and Sanskrit inscriptions would be glad if he is visited by some Khom spirits. They could help clarify the meaning of some words he doesn't understand.

[@watchoutwhat]

any english version or caption?

[@Strain85]

The reason why some parts of the film is grayish or discolored is because this film is obviously 3D When a 3-dimensional scene appears the discoloration occurs. In order to watch this clip to it full potiental you'd have to wear 3D glasses that were given at the show.

[@Khmerforce4Life]

so it is still the same!!! cuz u two are now back together

[@yonhunter554]

Khmer Empire used to be an Asian dominant from 7th century-early 14 century.Siam & Yuon started taking advantage after Jey Verimann 7th fall.

[@angkor101]

lol i saw this in cambodia.... it was at the EXPO , december 06 ... pretty cool it was 3D

[@IHyRaXI]

hey khmerpreah401 where did you find out hollywood will make a movie about jayavarman?please tell me? do you know for sure?

[@SaoLaos2000]

Im lao but i always interested of Khmer history and cultures. I wish that i understand this vd. Can anyone \please translated for me? Thank you for advance. :))

[@jonascheah]

They were a bit sloppy with the final rendering though... kinda crappy to watch the whole CGI in grey :(

[@Strain85]

In order to watch this clip to it full potiental you'd have to wear 3D glasses that were given at the show. Thought I explain this to some that doubted the quality in the film. An yes this film was projected at the Angkor- Gyeongju (khmer,Korean) World Culture expo 2006

[@Katcom111]

wow, why do i see so many bad comments the truth is the thais dont have much history about there own people and where they actually came from. the reason why we have so much khmer pride is because are ancenstor are war-like people. all i know theres alot of theories about the khmer history. some r acurrate some r not. it still remains a mystery.

[@minniehoho]

Jumreap Sua, If the biography of King Jayavarman VII will really be made a movie, I'm one of those waiting enthusiastically to see it, though I'm not Khmer. One deosn't have to have Khmer blood to fully appreciate the life of a great Khmer king, does he?

[@chongtak]

This is a nice story, but just a legend... You all folks should read history books instead of believing such a story for kids.

[@unitedstateofamerful]

@Soksabai79 you are absolutely right..........hehe......

[@NightTerrorGameplays]

STOP HATING EACH OTHER we are all asian!

[@tiou2966]

GREAT

[@hotpopcorncake]

i m not Khmer and i m being to like your history its unreal ,its like out of a fictional story oh another thing why this ain't dubbed i want to find out more about jayavarman VII and what sup with those snakes .i feel like going to cambodia and staying there

[@KHMERSISAKET]

do u speak khmer?

[@saurabhCherished]

In India we call Cambodia as Kamboj-desha[desha means country]

[@gamerawesome64dd91]

144p graphic download free 🤣🆓

[@kevanu]

I HATE dubbing voice for the girl. I hear it in every one of khmer movie dvds. I HATE IT. I'm sorry that is all. lol. Pretty good effort, but I can tell they were kinda scarce on resources for rendering some of this. needs more textures :) I hope to see a more improved version in the future! Great job though

[@Arestian]

The Thai language comes from the Yunnan Province in China. Chinese is a tonal language and that's were the tones come from. The Thai were a nomadic people that fled because of the Mongols. They took over parts of Cambodia and probably took influence from the Khmer thus the Khmer numerals on their curreny. Also, do not forget that your writing system and the Thai along with Laotian and Burmese writing system is derived from sanskrit. Who cares if you borrow froma similar writing type?

[@Khmer96pride]

Moatnak Pheap Chea Khmer !!!

[@konkhmer-tm1tt]

love

[@Cambodiot]

That is correct i definately agree with you on that but some of this cambodian think that thai stole and copy their culture and come up with a none sense history story. How can anyone prove that? some people are just crazy.

[@BengalG3]

Well the thing about India and Pakistan is that Pakistan used to be apart of India so did Banglash,Nepal,Sri lanka,Parts of Afganistan,Burma,etc(Greater India or Bharat). They have a reason to fight. Khmer and Thai people fight because.....Who knows......

[@Soksabai79]

We don't expect them to stop. Our Khmer ancestors had tried for centuries, but they never show their gratitude towards Khmer people even those foreigners who died fighting for Thailand from Japan occupation, they're still ignorant. But we can enlighten the world to see what kind of Thai people are!

[@kevwalk96]

Great Khmer Empire !

[@Cambodiot]

Following the removal of Sihanouk, Nol and Prince Sisowath Sirik Matak demanded that the North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong leave Cambodia. He also closed the ports of Cambodia to military supplies for the Vietnamese forces. The government also assumed a pro-Western, anti-Communist stance. The proclaimed goal of American bombings in Cambodia was to destroy North Vietnamese and National Liberation Front (Viet Cong) bases in the area.

[@konkhmer-tm1tt]

[@itislorraine]

the war destroyed almost everything.

[@IHyRaXI]

why not make a film that takes place in the ancient khmer kingdom in Angkor? have you seen Mel Gibson's Apocalypto? that movie took place in the mayan civilization in mexico around the same time as Angkor. it was an amazing movie, and always make me thing of Angkor.

[@JacobTheIndoAmerican]

Kamboja are Aryan(Indian) people. They are labeled as being in the sphere of Indian culture at the time and was part of the many tribes of Bharatvarshra(India). The whole thing about Kamboja coming to Cambodia is a very unlikely theroy. BTW Ancient Iranian are not the same Iranians you see today. They have been invaded by Arabs and have been Arabized.

[@SekarVuthy]

and i didnt disagree tho, wat i meant is that ppl keep cussing each other over this thing FOR NO REASON! only few are talking! like some of those thai, they will never get it! they think they are better ALWAYS! they might get it SOMEDAY they read and read! so yeah, i cant tell anyway!

[@mariakheav]

how do you know

[@hitterbrehm]

I hope someone add subtititle, I really like to see this

[@SekarVuthy]

[@thetruth8374]

[@toyue4201]

Time changes.

[@Strain85]

[@SekarVuthy]

I wish they will! I meant only some more!

[@KKkhmer143]

Never go to Wikipedia because my teacher said people can put like fake information!!

[@Khmer96pride]

@princeofwinter Hey , I agree !!! I´m Khmer and for me are Viets and Laotians brothers !!! Cambodia Laos and Vietnam for life

[@unknownally]

[@DangersMines]

India was a country of the Khmer Kings originated Indian. Khmer ancestors were Indian-Khmers. Thai ancestors were Tai from China, Thai speaking is from China, but Thai writing and Thai numerals are not Chinese, they are Khmer.

[@Strain85]

Damn they didn't finish the movie

[@khmerkhmerangkor6257]

[@MegaMoFUnk]

[@Khmerforce4Life]

[@Cambodiot]

From Beijing, Sihanouk realigned himself with the communist Khmer Rouge rebels who had been slowly gaining territory in the remote mountain regions and urged his followers to help in overthrowing the pro-United States government of Lon Nol, hastening the onset of civil war

[@CityOfKhmerGodKings]

@fartknocker31 Native of Koktlok always lived in their land since the birth of human being until Indian came and they were welcomed by native of Koktlok. Indian had respected to native of Koktlok and they exchanged culture and they created Khmer dedicated to both native and Indian. Most of every wall of temples in Cambodia carving the pictures of native culture such as Chak Krabei Pheuk Sra.

[@unitedstateofamerful]

@Soksabai79 hi man..you are right na...but don'tt say bad word na..heheh ...oh gosh,,hehe,,Thai and Khmer language are also the same,,sound look the same..na..
