History of Cambodia

Ashraf 7:24 PM
Cambodian history is more than 2,000 years. The use of the characters is the same, though in the early stages of history, education, teaching, writing, or the promotion and use of the character are not yet in place Comprehensive. On the Indochina Peninsula, the Khmer are the oldest of the Mon-Khmer ethnic groups and have their own culture and civilization. Also about 1 million years and 680,000 BC. This culture has evolved from time to time from diversity to prosperity in all fields.

Based on the major events that are the result of the society, the history of Cambodia is divided into two periods: the prehistory and the historical period. Each of these can be divided into several different periods, such as the ancient Stone Age, the Stone Age, the Cosmic Break, the Ancient History, the Ancient Age, Middle and modern age.

The second era of Cambodia began in the 1st century AD, a historical period. During this period, Khmer people had their national letters, with the leaders borrowing Indian characters to compile their historical events. But the use of fonts has yet to be spread across the country.

Prehistory of Astronomy

Carbon dating of the 14th caves at the cave bridge in northwestern Cambodia suggests that stone tools date back to 6,000-7,000 BC. And pottery dating from 4200 BC. Come on (before the regular era). Further archaeological evidence indicates that different parts of the area today are called Cambodia, which dates back to around 1000-2000 BC. Set in stone culture. The human skull and bones found at Samrong Sen in Kampong Chhnang province date from 1500 BC. Heng Sopheady (2007) drew comparisons between Banteay Kruong Samrong Sen Station and Banteay Kuk Station in eastern Cambodia. These people may have migrated from southeast China to the Indochinese peninsula. Scholars find that the first rice and bronze works done in Southeast Asia were done by these people. Locals have made steady progress in socializing, organizing and speaking a number of languages ​​that are closely related to the Khmer language today. The culture and technical skills of these people in the 1st century AD. Has gone far beyond the primitive stage. The most evolved groups lived along the lower Mekong River and delta, where they lived in high-rise houses, where they grew rice, fishing and livestock. Recent research has uncovered the discovery of a round-shaped fort dating to the Neolithic period of Cambodia.1 The Khmers are one of the earliest inhabitants of Southeast Asia. They were among the earliest people in Southeast Asia to adopt religious ideas and political institutions from India and formed centralized kingdoms located throughout the vast territories of Southeast Asia.

An examination of a 2010 skeleton taken from a grave in Snay village in northwestern Cambodia says that many traumatic wounds, especially the head, seem to have been caused by human-to-human violence. People. The tombs also contained a number of swords and other assault weapons used in the clash.

The Iron Age of Southeast Asia began around BC. 500 and so on to the end of the Funan period, around AD 500 as it provides the first solid evidence of unrelenting maritime trade and political-social interaction with India and South Asia. By the first century, the inhabitants had become increasingly intricately organized by various social and religious societies, requiring a growing language in relation to the language spoken today.

Funan or Funan

The first known kingdom in the area was the prosperous kingdom of Funan, probably from the first to the sixth centuries. The kingdom was succeeded by Chenla, who ruled much of modern day Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and Thailand.

The Funan Empire developed its reputation from the rich and powerful city of Océo (present-day Vietnam), known in the Roman Empire as "Kratie," meaning the famous city. Contact with the distant Roman Empire is evident through the large Roman coins found at archeological sites dating from the second and third centuries. However, most of the foreign trade of the Funan Empire was to continue to be closer to India, especially the Indian Bengal region. Trade with India started well before 500 BC. (Formerly the universal use of Sanskrit, a language in India). Along with Indian trade, Indianization was introduced into the culture of Funan and Hindu religion. The Funan and many societies from the Funan took control of this part of Southeast Asia and incorporated Hinduism as a major religion for about 900 years. Hindu cultural features and traditions continue to exist in Cambodian society to this day.

The empire expanded to a large extent under the reign of King Mary at the beginning of the third century, extending as far south as Malaysia and as far west as Burma. The Funan established a strong system of mercantilism and commercial independence that became the model for several empires in the region. Exports of the Funan Empire contained valuable fruits and metals, including gold, ivory, ivory, gold, feathers, feathers, spice from the forest such as cardamom, lacquer, and fragrant wood. Srey Ma founded the Sampath army and expanded the Funan bureaucracy by creating a feudal pattern that left many local customs and identities intact, especially the farther the empire.

Chenla era

Chenla is the name of an empire that arose after the fall of the Funan Empire. Later, Chenla was divided into two divisions: the northern Chenla, the mainland and the southern Chenla.

Chenla is one of the hill kingdoms located in the central plains of the Mekong River in present-day Bassac, Laos. The capital was Bhavahara, who reigned in Chenla as the royal lineage. Beginning in the 3rd century, the Funan Empire allied itself with Champa. But by the 5th century, the empire had rejected the alliance and stopped helping Champa to conquer China. The event comes after trade ties brought to China an ivory jewelry bowl.

Demographics and social status

The growth of the ethnic Khmer people of that time was not large enough to be the main cause of internal divisions. Moreover, the economic features of the country and the political evolution of the country depend on farmland. The Mekong River Plains are full of pools. Thus, in the kingdom of Phnom Penh, small plots of land required continuous cultivation by the coercive force of peasant slaves. The farmland belongs to the state and the dam and drainage system are built and run by the government.

Chenla is very prosperous economically. The Empire suffered natural disasters and economic decline. This was a great opportunity for the Chenla dynasty to conquer the Funan. King Chenla, Bhavavarman and his cousin Cousins ​​attacked the kingdom around AD. 550. The Funan Empire also fell into the hands of the royal family in Chenla, Bhavavarman I, and the Funanese kingdom became known as Cambodia. In the 8th century between 706, Cambodia was divided into two mainland Chenla, which are rich in mountains and valleys, and inundated lagoons with lakes and beaches.

The internal divisions between the two Chenla paved the way for the invading Javanese during the time of the Chaldean dynasty and brought the people, officials and dynasties to Java.

Famous kings of the Chenla era

King Hinavarman (600-615) allied to Champa.
