Talk:Angkor

message: A beautiful start, though I'm not sure how complete this is. It would be good, I think, to provide a short summary of the architectural styles and significances of the sites, in addition to just providing a link to the deeper article. LordAmeth 14:39, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Assessment

message: Somebody has written that some historians believe the Thai found Angkor devastated by an "infestation" as opposed to conquering it.  I have not heard this theory.  Somebody should support it with a footnote citing sources, or the paragraph advancing the theory should be deleted.  DoktorMax (talk) 04:41, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  War with the Thai 

message: More information required especially on the Javanese influence, design and perhaps funding of the Angkor complex, is required.
Jayavarman 2 spent his early years as a hostage prince in the court of Majapahit in Java. He was sent to Camdoia to establish a new Javanese colony- but instead rebelled- which lead to his military defeat and the sacking of his cities by the Javanese.
Angkor Wat was also designed and supervised by Javanese architects, a scaled-up model of Prambanan. three are several insciptijs on Ankor which give thanks and tribute to the Javanese architects.Starstylers (talk) 13:18, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The inscription about Jayavarman II was written by Kings centuries after Jayavarman II's time period.  It is a vague description. It said he grew up in a place called "Java".  Although historians think this can be many places including neighboring Champa.  The other fluff is assumption.  Angkor Wat was constructed centuries after Jayavarman II.

thread_title: Javanese designed Angkor

message: The July 2009 issue of National Geographic, page 32, in the article "Divining Angkor: After rising to sublime heights, the sacred city may have engineered its own downfall", notes, "As many as 750,000 people lived in Angkor, (the Khmer kingdom's) capital, which sprawled across an area the size of New York City's five boroughs, making it the most extensive urban complex in the world." That makes it smaller than the size reported in this article, though. 68.32.48.221 (talk) 12:00, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: National Geographic 

message: Shouldn't a distinction be made between the historic city of angkor (how it was in 1200 BC) and the present Angkor city (of which some basins have run dry, the drain is destroyed at the dam, new buildings placed?, ...)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.182.165.179 (talk) 18:13, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Historic city of angkor

message: The map in the previously mentioned National Geographic magazine of July 2009 should be included as the main image. I'm guessing that this map isnt complete however? The drain at the dam should probably be continued to the waterway running to the north. Tonlé Sap isnt mentioned on the map neither  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.182.165.179 (talk) 18:16, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Historic Angkor city map

message: The description "original research" for this section is a polite one for tendentious opinion.  This section should be removed; there is no way in which the opinions expressed could be supported by reference.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.99.71.124 (talk) 04:37, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unsustainable Tourism 

message: This section opens with "Although there is evidence to the contrary (Leonowens, 1870), many scholars believe the great city and temples remained largely cloaked by the forest until the late 19th century" but the Leonowens source confirms, rather than opposes, this viewpoint.  Leonowens is a first-hand account of visiting Angkor Wat and describes it as being cloaked by the forest.  The opening line does seem to imply, but does not state, that the Thai were unaware of the ruins, and the source contradicts this view.  Perhaps a better phrasing would be "While the city was regularly visited by nearby residents and even made a destination for travellers such as Anna Leonowens, the ruins remained largely cloaked by the forest until the late 19th century."  A proper citation for Leonowens' book An Englishwoman in the Siamese Court would also be a welcome addition. 76.168.38.238 (talk)   — Preceding undated comment added 00:55, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

message: 'Alternate' is a verb meaning 'to occur in turn repeatedly', or an adjective meaning 'every other; every second.' Whereas 'Alternative' means 'of one or more things available as another possibility or choice'. Where it says in the info box 'Alternate name', it seems clear it should actually be 'alternative name'. Should this be changed? 149.5.89.168 (talk) 11:15, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
