The Angkor Wat temples are fascinating... I’d love to travel there to Cambodia to see them.

In 2009, tree ring data indicated a potential culprit: a decades-long period of megamonsoons and droughts in Southeast Asia in the 14th century. Another version of this story glibly phrases it as "deforestation".

Our son and wife are in Thailand this week and plan a visit to this Cambodian site in the next few days.

If you happen around the Danang area, the Cham temples at My Son are very cool and date from around the same period.

“802 C.E” I guess that is Common Era, which began WHEN With Christ! Why not write “AD” as the Libs MUST trace this to AD when asked. Could it be that common era is the 33 years when Christ lived?
Oh, by the same “BS” they use BCE instead of BC. Isn't that a waste of their beloved paper, to say noting of the extravagant use of ink. If we still wrote with quills, they'd sacrifice their beloved spotted owl to write the added unnecessary letter.

Simple.
BCE = Before Christ (or Christian) Era
CE = Christian Era
No problem.

I didn’t know what C.E. stood for. I guess they are removing BC (now BCE) and AD (now CE)from everything. And Christmas will be Xmas, and Easter will be Spring Festival, and...

Thailand fascinates me and not for the reasons it fascinated David Carradine or Japanese sex tourists.
John Burdett has written three or four novels adapting the detective genre to modern Thailand. They are really good if you like detectives and crime stories.
I eat Pad Thai almost every day.
I would rather watch street food vendor videos on You Tube than anything on schlock American television.
The Thai music is so peaceful.
That picture blows me away and makes me want to go there.

There must have been a huge population in that region, to have created such an incredible structure, and so many waterways for agricultural irrigation.
There's an image on the following webpage that shows how extensive it all was:

I had a ticket to travel to Cambodia from Thailand, a couple years ago.
I was so exhausted by the time I got to Thailand I up and canceled the Cambodia leg. Still haven’t made it.
Still want to go.

Son is 37. Wife is 31.
They climbed in Nepal last year.
Obviously, they have the legs for it.
