Cambodia To-do:

edit
history
watch
purge

Let us work in the best reference and presentation of archaeological sites of Cambodia beyond Angkor like Sambor Prei Kuk, Angkor Borei (Takeo), etc.

Should disambiguate Republican Party for Democracy and Renewal and generally try to link up social conscience with right-wing values.

I'm looking for the best picture or any informations about the KAF's U-6 (Beaver). It seem that the KAF had 3 aircrafts. But in 1971, during the viet cong's sapper attack at the Pochentong Air Base,at least 1 Beaver was destroyed.In 1972 at leat 1 Beaver was refurbished with a new engine. http://www.khmerairforce.com/AAK-KAF/AVNK-AAK-KAF/Cambodia-Beaver-KAF.JPG

Thankfull for this info. [Unsigned]

I just saw that 146.115.115.243 messed up the page so badly it was FUBAR, and also changed "Ongcor" into "Angkor Watt" -- thereby modifying what was supposed to be a direct quote from Henri Mouhot's own writings, and mixing up Angkor from Angkor Watt - 2 very different things! == BAD MOVE!! ==

Please refrain from modifyng this article if you don't know what you're doing.

Thanks for your added information and correction of the stupid Eurocentric formulation, 212.247.27.124! I've removed this passage, though:

"While Henri is historically credited with "discovering" Angkor (as Columbus is with "discovering" America), local Cambodians had always known about the existence and location of Ankor -- it was never lost to them."

It's a good point, but this talk page is the place for it, not the article itself. Bishonen | talk 23:17, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks. I've updated it some more, to reinsert what I consider to be very important information´relevant to Henri Mouhot, but hopefully this time it comes across as more detached and less argumentative.

Just went on a tour to Cambodia, went to Angkor Wat of course. My tour guide told us that Henri was beat to death.....because of angry locals. He shipped statues and parts to France for them to preserve/keep in museums and the like, and they didn't like him shipping everything off. Therefore the beat to death thing. I don't find it too credible, as my tour guide might have heard it from childhood stories. Anyone able to investigate? I'm probably wasting people's time. 61.231.54.120 (talk) 12:29, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright Infringment[edit]

Much of the text of this article is identical to that of a copyrighted non-WP article, and the author thereof has complained that WP has violated his rights. http://www.zakkeith.com/articles,blogs,forums/Henri-Mouhot-Angkor.htm I am being polite but this approach is a blatant violation of WP standards.

I also find it curious that this article states, without citation, that "Father Bouillevaux published his accounts in 1857: "Travel in Indochina 1848–1846, The Annam and Cambodia" Rather unique in the history of publishing that the first-menitoned year is later than the second-mentioned. Given that the book was published in 1857, one might deduce that the second-mentioned year ought be 1856 rather than 1846. Perhaps I am wrong on this but the internet is now so crowded with sites that have lifted the WP text that the seeming error is now ubiquitous on the net. I cannot yet find a reference to this book by any year.

Sorry. Not sure how to do this. I noted that the date of the image of the "Facade of Angkor Wat" is dated 1855, while Mouhot supposedly only arrived in Bangkok in 1858. The other image is dated 1859. Hopefully someone who has access to the original book can see if the dates should both be 1859 or at least something else besides 1855. Thanks.

Portuguese monk Antonio da Magdalena had also written about his visit to Angkor Wat in 1586.[edit]

And he said that locals told them Angkor Wat was built by foreigners. How come this is not considered a lost city? MTha8456 (talk) 09:49, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
