Cambodia's water festival is celebrated for 2 reasons:
1. To remember the naval victory against the Chams, carved in bas-reliefs from the temples.
2. To mark the end of the rainy season and organize the ritual to thank the moon that causes low tide and high tide and the hydrological cycle makes the abundance of rice cultivation and fish farming.
Where is Ah Leukeu strongman Hun Sen whose mission is to combat and solve all the problems that Khmer people are facing?
ReplyDeleteAh one eye monster Hun Sen is busy at suppressing Khmer to please his master Yuon.
Hun Sen has a good chance to save Cambodia from the evil Vietnam.
ReplyDeleteWhat he needs to do, he just let the general election to go smoothly. Khmer people will vote him out and his master Vietnam cannot do anything to him.
But this asshole Hun Sen is not spiritually a Khmer. That's why he has been trying to do anything he could to hold on to power so that he could facilitate the Yuonization of Cambodia.
This worst Khmer traitor Hun Sen will be vanished from this world by one of his bodyguards hopefully in early 2018.
1. To remember the naval victory against the Chams, carved in bas-reliefs from the temples.
ReplyDeleteWhen king Norodom moved the capital to Phnom Penh in 1866, Champa was already disappeared from the world map.
Brilliant. Further more, Khmer Empire was never a naval power but a land army empire. Khmer simply marched to Champa and attacked.
DeleteIt was the Champa who was a naval power of its time and used it to sneak up to Angkor Thom then sacked it while the Khmer army was away attacking other kingdoms. That first sacking severely weakened Khmer empire and allowed the Siam to revolt.
Then of course, we all knew Siam sacked Angkor Thom again, again, again, again, again and again till Khmers moved their capital toward the East for protection from the Vietnamese who by that time became a local power.
It's pointless to celebrate a none-existent naval victory.
