Khmer

Recently I was interested in the South East Asian culture , specially in their folk-tales and ancient heritage . Located in the heart of Indo China and the founding fathers of many modern SE asian countries , the Khemer Civilization was one of the most powerful kingdom based in what is now Cambodia. The empire, which succeeded from the kingdom of Chenla, at times ruled over and/or vassalised parts of modern-day Laos, Thailand and Vietnam. Its greatest legacy is Angkor, which was the capital during the empire’s zenith. Angkor bears testimony to the Khmer Empire’s immense power and wealth, as well as the variety of belief systems that it patronised over time. The empire’s official religions included Hinduism, Mahayana and Theravada Buddhism.
