The different significant events in the angkor years are
The first century: Indianisation,
Southeast asia has been inhabited since the neolithic era end,the angkorian civilization were sown in the first century CE, At the turn of the millennium, southeast asia was becoming a hub in a commercial trades network from the mediterranean to china. India and chinese traders began arriving in the region in greater numbers. Exposing the indigenous people to their culture, though it was the indian culture,
Funan and chendia: pre-angkor
The newly indianised princley states sometimes encompassed large areas. They were often no larger than a single fortified city. They warred among themselves. Over time into a shifting set of large states. According to the 3rd century chinese chronicles. Funan was predominate over its small neighboring states, including the states of chendla in northern cambodia. Over the later half of the 6th century. Funan began to decline, losing its western territories. Under isananvarman l’s successor. It was briefly reunited under jayavarman l in the mid-7th century, only to fall apart after his death.
802CE: the beginning,
Jayavarman ll was the first king of the angkorian era, though his origins are recorded in history that borders on legend. Then he was the Khmer prince, returned to cambodia around 790ce after a lengthy, perhaps forced stay in the royal court in java. He was a warrior who, upon returning to cambodia, subdued enough of competing Khmer staes to declare a sovereign and unified ‘Kambuja’ under a single ruler.
Roluis; the ‘first’ capital,
Thirty years after Jayavarman II’s death, King Indravarman III constructed the temple of Preah Ko, the first major member of the ‘Roluos Group’, in honor of Jayavarman II. He then constructed Bakong, which was the first grand project to follow the temple-mountain architectural formula. When visiting these temples, note the deep, rich, detailed artistic style in the carvings that were characteristic of the period.
the capital moves to angkor,
I carried on the tradition of his father, building the East Baray as well as the last major temple of the Roluos Group and the first major temple in the Angkor area Upon completing Phnom Bakheng in he moved his capital to the newly named Yasodharapura in the Angkor area. The move may have been sparked by Yasovarman I’s violent confrontation with his brother for the throne, which left the Royal Palace at Roluos in ashes. With one exception, the capital would reside in the Angkor area for the next 500 years.
koh ker: a brief interruption,
The exception took place in 9 when, for reasons that remain unclear, there was a disruption in the royal succession. King Jayavarman IV moved the capital 100km from Angkor north to Koh Ker, where it remained for 20 years. When the capital returned to Angkor, it centered not at Phnom Bakheng as it had before, but further east at the new state-temple of Pre Rup
apogee: the khmer empire at angkor,
Under Suryavarman II in the early 12th century, the empire was at its political/territorial apex. Appropriate to the greatness of the times, Suryavarman II produced Angkor’s most spectacular architectural creation, Angkor Wat, as well as other monuments such as Thommanon, Banteay Samre and Beng Melea. Angkor Wat was constructed as Suryavarman II’s state-temple and perhaps as his funerary temple. Extensive battle scenes from his campaigns against Champa are recorded in the superb bas-reliefs on the south wall of Angkor Wat.
jayavarman Vll: the monument builder,
At the same time as his building campaign, Jayavarman VII also led an aggressive military struggle against Champa. In 1190 he captured the Cham king and brought him to Angkor. In 1203 he annexed all of Champa, thereby expanding the Khmer Empire to the eastern shores of southern Vietnam. Through other military adventures he extended the borders of the empire in all directions.
the end of an era.
Hinduism made a comeback under Jayavarman VIII in the late 13th century during which most of Angkor’s Buddhist monuments were systematically defaced. Look for the chipped out Buddha images on almost all of Jayavarman VII’s Buddhist monuments. Literally thousands of Buddha images have been removed in what must have been a huge investment of destructive effort. Interestingly, some Buddha images were crudely altered into Hindu lingas and Bodhisattvas. There are some good examples of altered images at Ta Prohm and Preah Khan.
Jayavarman VIII also constructed the final Brahmanic monument at Angkor - the small tower East Prasat Top in Angkor Thom. After Jayavarman VIII’s death, Buddhism returned to Cambodia but in a different form. Instead of Mahayana Buddhism, Theravada Buddhism took hold and remains the dominant religion in Cambodia to this day.
