i know it was a khmer temple idiot i was just saying that its based on hindu!!

[Justmyopinionlol]

@khmerpreah401 yes, very true. There were a lot of very smart Khmers in those days. So you guys also have the biggest territory in that region. In fact, Saigon, from what I understand, was originally Khmer, then become Champa, then become Vietnamese.

[Justmyopinionlol]

I am Vietnamese and I will never forget that the Khmer people had the greatest culture for thousand of years in this region. Thailand and Vietnam used to be right next to each other-like Laos and Hanoi but the evil Chinese keep invading our land so we never had the chance to develop the arts and build great temples. Vietnam's great misfortune is that we have the aggressive Chinese as neighbors who constantly harass us and try to teach us "lessons".

lets be frank. first its a capital city. later it became a temple. only thing we shared was text such as sanscript. everything eles is absolutely khmer. the architecture and the myth of the celestial god. is our own myth. the god serve alot of countries back then. each of the culture have their own history but same god. therefore, its not base on hindu.

....

you know you make it sound like "the concept its base on hindu culture" NO! its not base or related to hindu.
