How long did it take to build the angkor what temple?

Answer 1

Since the 12th Century. (Did you know that the Khmer language contains the longest alphabet in the world according to the Guinness Book of Record?) It was built by the Khmers (also known in English as the Cambodians) during the Khmer Empire when the Khmers controlled present day Cambodia, Loas, Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam. The word Cambodia is an anglosization/English variation of the French's naming of the country as Cambodge. The Khmers don't and have never referred their country as Cambodia rather they have correctly called it Kampuchea or Srok Khmer (meaning land of the Khmer). Just as the English speakers called land of the Thai as Thailand.

If you look carefully and study Khmer history, you can tell that the Chinese's incursion, migration, and invasion of the Khmer Empire have resulted in new countries, like Thailand (which was called Siam), Loas, and Viet Nam. Many of them have ethnic Chinese features. Khmers do not have Chinese features. The Khmer people who have dominated Southeast Asia through it's cultural genius and scientific wonders-- thanks to its water engineering at Angkor Watt was able to survived from Chinese excursion and have preserved its culture, including Angkor Watt. The Khmer Empire was the longest empire of all Asia, longer than any Chinese dynasties, or the Mongolian empire. Sadly, nobody knows this scholarly truth because the Communist Party killed most of the Khmers scholars during the Khmer genocide and along with their deaths, countless books were either lost or burned. Also, there was once a library at Angkor Watt. The Khmer kings always had scribes. Perhaps someday we will find scribes or records about the scribes.
