  • Along the Royal Roads to Angkor
    Chapter Four The Royal Roads of King Jayavarman VII and its Architectural Remains 4.1 King Jayavarman VII’s Royal Roads 4.1.1 General Information Jayavarman VII’s Royal Roads was believed (by many scholars) to be built in the era of Jayavarman VII who ruled Khmer empire between AD 1812 – 1218. The road network not only cover the area of the modern-day Cambodia but also the large areas of the present Laos, Thailand and Vietnam that were under the control of the empire as well. As demonstrated by Ooi Keat Gin in Southeast Asia: A Historical Encyclopeida from Angkor Wat to East Timor Volume Two; highways were built—straight, stone-paved roads running across hundreds of kilometers, raised above the flood level, with stone bridges across rivers and lined with rest houses every 15 kilometers. Parts of some roads are still visible, even serving as the bed for modern roads. From the capital city, Angkor, there were at least two roads to the east and two to the west. One of the latter ran across the Dangrek Mountains to Phimai and another went due west toward Sisophon, which means toward the only lowland pass from Cambodia into eastern Thailand in the direction of Lopburi or Ayutthaya. Toward the east, one road has been traced almost to the Mekong, and according to an inscription in which these roads are described, it may continue as far as the capital of Champa1 1 Ooi. (2004).

  • Destination: Angkor Archaeological Park the Complete Temple Guide
    Destination: Angkor Archaeological Park The Complete Temple Guide 1 The Temples of Angkor Ak Yom The earliest elements of this small brick and sandstone temple date from the pre-Angkorian 8th century. Scholars believe that the inscriptions indicate that the temple is dedicated to the Hindu 'god of the depths'. This is the earliest known example of the architectural design of the 'temple-mountain', which was to become the primary design for many of the Angkorian period temples including Angkor Wat. The temple is in a very poor condition. Angkor Thom Angkor Thom ("Great City") was the last and most enduring capital city of the Khmer empire. It was established in the late 12th century by King Jayavarman VII. The walled and moated royal city covers an area of 9 km², within which are located several monuments from earlier eras as well as those established by Jayavarman and his successors. At the centre of the city is Jayavarman's state temple, the Bayon, with the other major sites clustered around the Victory Square immediately to the north. Angkor Thom was established as the capital of Jayavarman VII's empire, and was the centre of his massive building programme. One inscription found in the city refers to Jayavarman as the groom and the city as his bride. Angkor Thom is accessible through 5 gates, one for each cardinal point, and the victory gate leading to the Royal Palace area. Angkor Wat Angkor Wat ("City of Temples"), the largest religious monument in the world, is a masterpiece of ancient architecture. The temple was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century as his state temple and eventual mausoleum.

As I mentioned other Khmer temples in the World heritage list, Vat Phou and Preah Vihear or even Phanomroong in the tentative list of Thailand are very inferior when compared with Angkor, if you see Angkor before you may have negative view on those sites, as I had one with Vat Phou after I saw Preah Vihear, so to avoid the problem and be more appreciated in Khmer art development, try to keep Angkor at the end of your trip, a highly recommendation.

  • A STUDY of the NAMES of MONUMENTS in ANGKOR (Cambodia)
    A STUDY OF THE NAMES OF MONUMENTS IN ANGKOR (Cambodia) NHIM Sotheavin Sophia Asia Center for Research and Human Development, Sophia University Introduction This article aims at clarifying the concept of Khmer culture by specifically explaining the meanings of the names of the monuments in Angkor, names that have existed within the Khmer cultural community.1 Many works on Angkor history have been researched in different fields, such as the evolution of arts and architecture, through a systematic analysis of monuments and archaeological excavation analysis, and the most crucial are based on Cambodian epigraphy. My work however is meant to shed light on Angkor cultural history by studying the names of the monuments, and I intend to do so by searching for the original names that are found in ancient and middle period inscriptions, as well as those appearing in the oral tradition. This study also seeks to undertake a thorough verification of the condition and shape of the monuments, as well as the mode of affixation of names for them by the local inhabitants. I also wish to focus on certain crucial errors, as well as the insufficiency of earlier studies on the subject. To begin with, the books written in foreign languages often have mistakes in the vocabulary involved in the etymology of Khmer temples. Some researchers are not very familiar with the Khmer language, and besides, they might not have visited the site very often, or possibly also they did not pay too much attention to the oral tradition related to these ruins, a tradition that might be known to the village elders.

  • 437 AMS RADIOCARBON DATING of WOOD SAMPLES from the ANGKOR MONUMENTS, CAMBODIA E Uchida1,2 • O Cunin3 • I Shimoda4 • Y
    RADIOCARBON, Vol 50, Nr 3, 2008, p 437–445 © 2008 by the Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of the University of Arizona AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF WOOD SAMPLES FROM THE ANGKOR MONUMENTS, CAMBODIA E Uchida1,2 • O Cunin3 • I Shimoda4 • Y Takubo1 • T Nakagawa4 ABSTRACT. In the Angkor monuments of Cambodia, pieces of wood remain (as head frames of doorways, crossbeams, ceiling boards, etc.) in the following 8 monuments: Bakong, Lolei, Baksei Chamkrong, North Khleang, Angkor Wat, Banteay Kdei, Bayon, and Gates of Angkor Thom. Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) radiocarbon dating carried out on 15 wood samples collected from the above 8 monuments revealed that most of the wood samples are original, except for the head frame of a doorway in Baksei Chamkrong, the ceiling boards in the northwest tower, and a crossbeam with pivot hole in the south- west tower of the Inner Gallery of Angkor Wat. The 14C age for the head frame of a doorway in the inner wall under the central tower of North Khleang supports the hypothesis that the inner walls are additions from a later period. INTRODUCTION The Angkor monuments are Hindu and Buddhist temples built from the 9th to 13th centuries AD. In the Angkor monuments—in addition to the main construction materials of sandstone, laterite, and brick—wood was also used as roofs, head frames of doorways, beams, etc. All wood in the roofs has already rotted away, whereas wood inside the buildings, such as head frames of doorways and beams, remained in several monuments. We question whether the inside wood is original or not.

    INAUGURAL-DISSERTATION zur Erlangung der Doktorwürde der Naturwissenschaftlich-Mathematischen Gesamtfakultät der Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg vorgelegt von Dipl. -Arch. Pheakdey Nguonphan aus Prey Veng, Kambodscha Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 09. Januar 2009 Computer Modeling, Analysis and Visualization of Angkor Wat Style Temples in Cambodia Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. Willi Jäger Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Hans Georg Bock Zusammenfassung Das archäologische Gebiet von Angkor und die gigantischen Steintempel sind die verbliebenen Hauptquellen zu den fast vergessenen alten Khmer-Zivilistation die einst ihre Blühtezeit zwischen dem 7. und 13. Jahrhundert hatte. Hunderte von Tempeln wurden erbaut, doch mit der Zeit sind sie fast in Vergessenheit geraten, und haben erleidete sehr unter dem tropischen Klima, Kriegen aber auch Plünderungen gelitten. Die meisten von Ihnen liegen nun völlig in Trümmern, und Viele sind teilweise zerstört oder im Einsturzgefahr. Inzwischen wurde Angkor als UNESCO Weltkulturerbe erklärt und ist eines der beliebtesten Tourismus-Ziele, aber auch für Wissenschaftler attraktive die neue Methoden zur Unterstützung der Restaurierung, Bewahrung und Tempel-Rekonstruktion erforschen. Die Buddhistischen und Hinduistischen Tempel von Angkor wurden auf Basis der heiligen Lotusblüte, die in beiden Religionen den Mikrokosmos darstellt, als einem der Grundsymbole erbaut. Sechs Hauptdarstellungsformen des Lotus wurden identifiziert, die in einer bestimmten Weise kombiniert, und fast auf allen Tempelelementen abgebildet sind. 3D Computer-Rekonstruktionen von solchen Tempelelementen sind schwierig und enorm aufwändig. Diese Dissertation befasst sich mit der Analyse architektonischer Funktion und Geometrie der Lotusmotive und dem Versuch die Kombinationsregel der sechs Lotusmotive zu entschlüsseln. Um dies zum Einsatz zu bringen werden, mit Hilfe mathematischer Modelle und bestimmter Algorithmen eine neue modul-basierte Rekonstruktionsmethode und zwei weitere Methoden als Ergänzung speziell für Angkor Temple entwickelt.

  • Study on the Accumulation Process of Residual Displacement by Applying DDA in the Angkor Monument, Cambodia S
    Structural Studies, Repairs and Maintenance of Heritage Architecture XI 335 Study on the accumulation process of residual displacement by applying DDA in the Angkor monument, Cambodia S. Yamada1, M. Araya1, Y. Toyoshima1, S. Tachino1 & T. Miyatani2 1Department of Architecture, Faculty of Science & Engineering, Waseda University, Japan 2Microsoft Co. Ltd., Japan Abstract In a dry masonry construction, such as the Angkor monument in Cambodia, a residual displacement, which has been accumulated over 1000 years after the construction, is assumed as the essential cause of a tower inclination and collapse. In this paper, applying the discontinuous deformation analysis, DDA, which includes an evaluation of the kinetic friction state after a slide generated between stones in formulization, we conducted a numerical analysis of the Angkor monument focusing on the accumulation process of the residual displacement. Applying DDA, a platform is modeled and the accumulation process of the residual displacement is verified. Then, we verified the relationship between the seasonal accumulation of residual displacement of the platform and the tower inclination, focusing on the phenomenon that the rainy season and the dry season come in the cycle of one year. In addition, to reduce the calculation cost of DDA, we applied a parallel computing to the DDA. Using Microsoft HPC Server 2008 for parallel computing, a numerical analysis of Prasat Suor Prat tower, reflecting the characteristic of masonry construction, was conducted and we compared the displacement
