Low budget soap.

wow, you really are delusional.

Forbidden City


Weiyang


open your eyes. clearly Forbidden city is undeniably similar to Weiyang palace that precede it.

everything you mention is wishful thinking. there are no retarded moats nor even squares. hahaha i think it is hilarious you could even think Angkor influence Chinese. talk about dreaming.

both palaces and the mausoleum i listed, all which have rectangular base, with buildings going up in incline, were around 200 BC. 1000 years before Angkor was even built!

I love karma. Now Chinese members are experiencing the wrath of Khmer members and their Khmer arrogance. LOL!

I'm enjoying every minute of this. So now Khmers are claiming Chinese cultural elements as Khmer inventions.

First Thai, then Lao, and now Chinese. Pretty soon now, Khmer members will be claiming all Asian cultures as their own.

KRAP = Khmer Rudeness, Arrogance, and Pride

^ it's definitely in full effect. Khmers are going after Chinese culture now....hahahahaha!

Khmers are not taking credit for Chinese inventions. I don't know much about the forbidden city so I will not put my two cents into that discussion.

Khmers know we didn't invent chopsticks, fireworks, & noodles. Stop trying to instigate.

Matter of fact even though we don't share similar culture as China. Cambodia thinks highly of the Chinese. They even celebrate "Chinese New Years" in Cambodia and the Cambodian government had a close relationship with them and always looked up to China. So there is really no hate towards the Chinese in Cambodians eyes. If Cambodia had to choose between the US and China I guarentee you the leaders will favor China by a landslide.

Also savan aren't you the same guy flaming Thai chat in the past and making fun of Jek/Jen (Chinese) people in Thailand? You have no room to post. Check yourself first.

Don't make $hit up. You don't represent every Khmer person. The other Khmer members in here are clearly claiming the invention of chopsticks, firecrackers, and the design of the forbidden city.

KRAP at its best!

Thewiseguy has the typical Khmer mentality. His own people are starting $hit with others as usual, but thewiseguy would rather make me the scapegoat. Khmer members are claiming Chinese cultural elements, but this is my fault? LOL!

Many Khmer members are obviously insecure because they had tried to claim Thai culture and then Lao culture, but now they're going after Chinese culture. Why can't Khmers just be proud of their own culture? Why do they have to latch on to ours?

How are Khmer members starting $hit? Have you read negative comments from Khmers towards the chinese in this thread?

Preahvilhear even stated chopsticks didn't originate from us
Viesna typed it's a Chinese invention
Menguy also said it wasn't a khmer invention

I disagree with Viesna about the fireworks invention though because as we all know Khmers didn't invent that. Even Viesna joked around and said Khmers didn't invent some of the stuff he claimed in his earliers posts.

Your the one that wants to instigate a potential Khmer/Chinese AF war by saying Khmers are starting $hit when we aren't saying anything bad about the chinese.

^ thewiseguy, read the comment above. I know you're licking Chinese azz, but other Khmer members are trying to claim Chinese cultural elements. LOL!

Do you guys hear that swooshy sound? Yup, that's thewiseguy licking Chinese azz AGAIN.

He admitted that khmers LOOK UP to Chinese.

Did I say Khmers as a whole? I said quote on quote "cambodian government"

Does the government represent the people as a whole? NO
Does Obama represents every americans point of views? NO
Does the Lao communist party that slaughtered thousands of Hmongs represent the Lao race? NO

God you're more retarded than I thought. Also let me ask what is your problems with Chinese people? I see you like to make fun of Thais with chinese blood in Thai chat in the past.

I said that Khmers were trying to claim Chinese cultural elements, but then you decided to use the Cambodian government to prove that Khmers love China. Now you're saying that the Cambodian government doesn't reflect Khmer people? So why'd you mention the government in the first place? Are you that stupid? I keep proving you wrong. LOL!

And oh, it's funny how you went from attacking Viets, Thais, and Chinese to now licking their asses. Why are you nutthugging them all of a sudden?

Burmese invented the wheel and aircraft hijacking

the thais invented the lady boy ,whore house and fake boobs, cambodia invented prahok,mum,parork. the chineses invented msg and chinese eyes. vietnamese copy from china

You're not proving nothing. you're twisting up words. What cultural elements of the Chinese are Khmers claiming?

Speaking of hanging on someone's nutsack you're the one that was licking on clingclang aka salamat aka visayan's ball. The troll with 1,000 accounts. Haha.

Let me ask you this, if someone is respectful towards another culture are they considered nutthugging in your books? You are an idiot with no credibility whatsoever.

Go cry me a river. HAHAHA!

relax, we all own chop sticks even those the chinese invented them. you cant take a joke.

hey, who invent the field?

I'm toying with Savan & it's fun because I can picture a red-faced Lao guy sweating all over his keyboards when he reads my posts. I get a kick out of this. HAHAHA.

Seriously? Are you fu-kin' blind? I can seen that Weiyang palace and the center structure of the Forbidden city are similar but what about the overall layout of the city?

Now you are telling me that there is not a square/rectangle moat around the entire city? Look again, I can clearly see one around the city wall, just like around Angkor Wat. This is how Wikipedia describes the wall and the moat, " The Forbidden City is surrounded by a 7.9 metres (26 ft) high city wall^[11] and a six-metre deep, 52 metres (170 ft) wide moat. The walls are 8.62 metres (28.3 ft) wide at the base, tapering to 6.66 metres (21.9 ft) at the top."

Here are some photos of the moat.





Anyway, if you can't see the moat, then there is no use talking to you about this because clearly you are blind.

Get out of here you stupid lao!!! You people are nothing and will always be known as nothing!!!

Thewiseguy is too uptight. He feels inferior to everyone so he can't stand it that Chinese members are putting Khmers in check.

The Forbidden City in China was not influenced by Khmers.

Khmers need to stop being so arrogant.

Khmer racism at its best. Such defensive people when they can't debate like civilized people.

you're delusional. Man you lost all credibility. I understand that you are butthurt but please don't twist $hit up just to instigate a war between Khmers/Chinese.

Chinese are usually treated well in Cambodia since the beginning of time. In what post I made in this thread gave you a hint I felt inferior you delusional idiot. LOL!

You're the only uptight Lao idiot in here that feels jealous towards your neighbors. Keep promoting Lao culture maybe one day the world will know what laos is other than a landlocked nation.

So are you saying that the Khmer members in here aren't actually Khmer? You're blaming me for something that your own Khmer members are saying to Chinese members.

I'm not going to tease you for the time being because I've given you immunity for now. So please go create a thread to prove your point that Khmers are not dark.

1. Angkor is floating on mud. the "moat" isnt remotely similar.

the so called "moat" changed alot as well.

During the Yuan Dynasty, the area today known as Jishuitan in the city's north was the terminal of the Grand Canal from Hangzhou to Beijing. Its vast zone of waters perennially buzzed with cargo ships and was lined by various businesses. In the Ming Dynasty, the city wall and moat were built here, and Jishuitan was walled inside Deshengmen (Desheng Gate), shrinking its water surface considerably.

The Northwestern Moat channeled water inside the city. It branched into two rivers after flowing in via the water pass west of Desheng Gate. One ran south into Jishuitan, Shichahai and Beihai lakes, and fed the Golden Water River of the imperial palace. The other followed the course of the moat, flowing southeastward into the Tonghui River via Andingmen, Dongzhimen, Chaoyangmen and Dongbianmen. The Tonghui River was built in the Yuan Dynasty to connect the Grand Canal and the inner city water system, and continued to be used until the early 20th century.

Other names in the vicinity also remind one of the imperial moat, such as Nanheyan (Southern River Edge), Beiheyan (Northern River Edge), Beihe (North River) Hutong and the Changpu River, which survives as a small body of water to this day.

The moat around the Forbidden City is also known as the Tongzi (Tube) River, and the section in front of Tian'an Gate is called Jinshui (Golden Water) River.

2. the city looks nothing like Angkor, it looks like Weiyang, a THOUSAND years before Angkor.


3. do not embarrass yourself any further. you made all sorts of claims, but after seeing the floor plans of Weiyang you are down to moats. as if Angkor invented moats.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT A MOAT IS? it surrounds a building or town. this delusional clown could try and claim similarities with any square/rectangular property with a moat. you are retarded if you think Angkor invented moats.

Chang'an, capital of 10 Chinese Dynasties
City wall

The 25.7 km long city was initially city wall was initially 3.5 m wide at the base tapering upward 8 m for a top width of 2 m.[4] Beyond this wall a 6.13 m wide moat with a depth of 4.62 m was spanned by 13.86 m long stone bridges. The wall was later expanded to 12–16 m at base and 12 m high. The moat was expanded to 8 m wide and 3 m deep. The expansion of the wall was likely a solution to flooding from the Wei River. The entire city was sited below the 400 m contour line which the Tang Dynasty used to mark the edge of the floodplain.[3]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27an

also Han Dynasty period, easily predates Angkor. looks like Angkor copied our MOAT.

O.K. Good! Now you see there is in fact a moat surrounding the Forbidden City. I guess you must have opened your little eyes to see the photos I posted. In your previous post you wrote, ".....everything you mention is wishful thinking. there are no retarded moats nor even squares. hahaha i think it is hilarious you could even think Angkor influence Chinese.......". I guess you have short term memory loss?



The image below also doesn't look like Angkor Wat even though it was a Japanese interpretation of it drawn during the 1600's. The drawing used Japanese architectural interpretations of Angkor Wat, which is similar to Chinese architecture. If I didn't knew that this drawing is of Angkor Wat I would have guess that it was of the Forbidden City.

You have to realize that Angkor City was one of the greatest city on earth during the height of the Khmer Empire. The city had one of the largest population on earth, in addition to be very wealthy and being advanced. There were merchants from different parts of the globe that traded with the Khmer Empire including Indians, Middle-Easterners and the Chinese. Again, I wouldn't be surprise if they brought back stories and interpretation drawings of this great city that rivaled any other major city on earth at that time.






I am not down to the moat. I pointed out the moat because you said that there was no moat so I only corrected your stupidity by showing you images and giving you a description of the moat.

I know Khmers aren't the inventors of moats, no $hit!, but show me some other aerial images of Chinese complexes that uses the same kind of moat systems like that of the Forbidden City or even show me Chang'an City's moat.

There are more similarities of Angkor Wat and the Forbidden City but I will post them up when I have time including images and descriptions.

You didnt read. they were rivers before. it is classified as a moat NOW. there used to be ships and commerce, like a port. learn what a moat is retard. actually, Angkor is closer to being an island than a moat. floating on a SWAMP.

clearly NOTHING like Forbidden City.




the only thing remotaly similar is the 4 sided base, and the "moat". both of which Chinese had 1000 years BEFORE Angkor. what a copy cat you are. greatest city my @$$. why are you using Chinese records and Japanese map of Angkor.

USE KHMER. oh wait.....the greatest city in the world doesnt have record of their own city. fuk outta here.




again, moat depends on the definition and TIME PERIOD.

actually, truth is Angkor doesnt have as "moat" in the strict definition sense.

"A moat is a deep, broad ditch, either dry or filled with water, that surrounds a castle, building or town, historically to provide it with a preliminary line of defence."

Angkor is ON that swamp, not just surrounded by it.

i dont care what similarities you find. Weiyang and Chang'an, both predate Angkor by a THOUSAND years. w/e "similarities" you find with Forbidden City, is going to apply to those buildings that PREDATE Angkor. so you would fail quite miserably.

as for Chang-an's "moat".


"Moats were also used in East Asia in the Forbidden City and Xi'an in China and Kokyo Imperial Palace in Japan; "

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moat#Asia


told ya, wayyyyyyyyyyy before Angkor. stop dreaming you clown. the sooner you realize that there are Chinese palaces predating Angkor by a millennium, the better. because any similarity you list (moat, 4 sided base) that applies to those buildings, means it is more likely Angkor copied us. although in reality Angkor is just carbon copy of South Indian Temple. hell, thats what it is LOL. temple for Indian god. no relation to Forbidden City. please stop being sooooo desperate to associate your temple to foreign god with our Imperial Palace.

1279 Kaifeng (Capital of Song), before Zhou Da Guan went to Angkor, Song dynasty ~ notice the moat ?



Da Ming palace of Tang dynasty 663 AD, no moats but notice the similarities with forbidden city ? Moats in forbidden city are just for decorations I guess, considering it is an imperial palace not an actually city, but I think the moats in Angkor Vat have some means since it doesnt have Walls on the other side of the moat CMIIC ~
