Early History Of Cambodia
The early history of Cambodia follows the prehistoric and protohistoric development of Cambodia as a country in mainland Southeast Asia. Thanks to archaeological work carried out since 2009, this can now be traced back to the Neolithic period. As excavation sites have become more numerous and modern dating methods are applied, settlement traces of all stages of human civil development from neolithic hunter-gatherer groups to organized preliterate societies are documented in the region.David Chandler, ''A History of Cambodia'' (Westview Publishers: Boulder Colorado, 2008) p. 13. Historical records of a political structure on territory that is now modern-day Cambodia first appear in Chinese annals in reference to Funan, a polity that encompassed the southernmost part of the Indochinese peninsula during the 1st to 6th centuries. Centered at the lower Mekong, Funan is noted as the oldest regional Hindu culture, which suggests prolonged socio-economic interaction with maritime trad ...

Preah Khan Kompong Svay
The archeological complex of Preah Khan Kampong Svay (), also known as Prasat Bakan (according to local pronunciation), or ''Bakan Svay Rolay'', is located 100 km east of Angkor, in the Preah Vihear province of Cambodia.

History There is little historical data about Preah Khan Kompong Svay. Some French scholars have argued that it was founded in the 11th century, probably by Suryavarman I.Higham, C., 2001, The Civilization of Angkor, London: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, Evidence from sediment analysis suggests that the site was fully abandoned during the late 14th to 15th century, with maintenance of temples and infrastructure ceasing around the mid-14th century. The complex is notable for its use as a royal residence during the kingdom of Suryavarman II and as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

This fundamental property has led to its unique uses in other fields, ranging from science to sports, where it commonly denotes the first, leading, or top thing in a group. 1 is the unit of counting or measurement, a determiner for singular nouns, and a gender-neutral pronoun. Historically, the representation of 1 evolved from ancient Sumerian and Babylonian symbols to the modern Arabic numeral.
