Summarized arguments for Angkor Khom origins:

1)Syam were the rulers of Angkor
2)Old Khmer was actually a Syamese language
3)Angkor was not the capital of Khmer Empire, but rather the capital of Khoms at one point.
4)Khmer never ruled Angkor until 1336.
5)Kambuja =/= Khmer as inscriptions doesn’t note the word Khmer until the 12th century
6)Khmer Empire is a fabrication of the French
7)Founan/Chenla were also Syam

Responses to these arguments?

Wrong wrong and WRONG!

Legends and ancient alien theorists say Angkor was built by a celestial race from the stars with advanced technology and were giants.

From the stars…advanced technology… giants…?

TRANSFORMERS!

They better not be teaching this BS in school or Javeraman gonna kicking some a$$.

It seem the westside people trying to rewrite Khmer history and show us our own history lmao.

Are any of you fine gents members at AF? The discussion there have been quite exhilarating.

written records of made who did what and when, were left all over ruins
in Thailand Laos Burma etc. Those stele and tablet were written
in old Khmer language. To say otherwise is one big Thai lie. They have no shame- those bastards!

Yes I saw the baseless article n claim were written by Thai professor. Go figure. Freak jerk.

Hullo from a new member. I’m interested in the Hindu region and gave a talk at the 2nd Hindu Conference in Sydney. Although there is little definite information about its history, some new evidence has appeared. A big picture is getting bigger.
