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.

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.

[@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.

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

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.

[@jonathanhughes8679]

It wasn’t forgotten nor rediscovered. When the guy got as the first westerner said not many but some people lived there. Not to mention that there’s a written record of it in China.

[@Lela-plants]

It was discovered by people not living there and in “modern times”. This is what began the investigation into it.

[@joyshulla5072]

That's the problem right there, China. They hide so much.

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.

If the carvings are in ancient Cambodian and Sanskrit, then I am inclined to believe that Angkor Wat is thousands of years old, not hundreds of years old.

[@TimeTrekTaless]

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.

Proud to be Cambodian/Khmer! 🇰🇭

[@shanepaynter5591]

The Frenchman suspected it was built by a huge and sophisticated civilization but he had no evidence. I’m no archeologists but I’d think that huge and sophisticated building could maybe be at least some evidence. He’s probably right though since nobody has ever found any other evidence of huge and sophisticated civilizations outside of Europe so yeah it most likely just fell out of the sky or is just natural erosion due to all the brilliantly crafted and still structurally sound castles.

[@vmk9299]

Very true. It is always like that. The white man invents/ discovers everything.

[@shanepaynter5591]

I was pretty sure I laid the sarcasm on pretty thick there, chill out. Please don't include me in your opinion of peoples ego or actions if I wasn't born yet or had anything to do with whatever you hate. Our points are the same. Almost every large civilization outside of Europe was far more advanced and organized even compared to today. My opinion is that Mayan/Aztec is king daddy.

@@shanepaynter5591 Try inserting emojis for sarcasm then, because it is difficult at best to read a statement such as that without needing to re-read and re-read.

Ah my ancestors! Beautifully put together documentary. Still more to learn for me!

Watching from Greece.hi everybody. Great documentary.

I was named after Angkor Wat - first name Angkor. My parents flew there in their small plane in the 1950's and my mother happened to touch the statue of fertility. That's their story and I am sticking with it. If you are interested in other legendary lost cities, I have now written two books: "Farini's Lost City of the Kalahari - Fraud or Fact?" as well as "Finding Farini's Lost City of the Kalahari." Using modern tools and research methodologies I thoroughly investigate Farini's journey and propose answers to questions about the possible location of these ruins and why they have not yet been found. There are short introductory videos on KZbin.

[@lourdesgriengo5278]

We think we’re so much more advanced than the ancients. We’re only advanced in a different way. That’s why we can’t build like them anymore. It’s lost to us.

[@jricherts99]

Yes its because we have no common vision

[@Dana_at_LAX]

@@jricherts99 that and we also have everything done for us. No need to build this stuff when we have architects and big corp to do stuff for us. I hate it. Each individual then was more capable than most of us now.

[@thicks_Mckenzie_heavyload]

We are more advanced technologically and significantly less Advanced now with our consciousness... that's why we have advanced surgeries and medicines and still have to heal from the outside in which doesn't work well and creates significant side effects/healing processes, instead of healing from the inside out which actually cures the root of illness instead of treating symptoms lol.. see it's profitable to keep treating symptoms, if you actually heal a person they stop coming back to you and spending money even though they have a happy and healthier life... Government cant have that can they.. we all know better there's just ugliness and greediness in charge, weak low forms of Consciousness running the show. Collective Consciousness trends towards advancement it's just takes thousands and thousands of years apparently... and I apparently there are hiccups and setbacks every few hundred years, that's probably why it takes so damn long... maybe in another 10,000 years we will all be perfect and childlike and filled with nothing but love and happiness and things like war and negative emotions and suffering and pain will be words we don't even understand anymore cause everything is so perfect.. One day yall

[@StoneInMySandal]

It’s not lost to us. We just don’t have god-king rulers willing to kill thousands of their people for an ego trip.

It's a shame what happened imagine what it would be today it was still alive such great advancement back then .we can learn from their mistakes to make our society going.

[@BeeInOC]

Khmer speaker here …Angkor wat translates literally into “palace/citadel temple.” And Angkor thom= “palace/citadel big” or the big temple . I think this show called it the holy temple but …the translation is actually as above fyi . ❤ with that said I am glad the western world and now India and Korea are trying to restore it ❤ I did visit in 2016 and videos and pictures really don’t do it any Justice . 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
