Information

The Wonderful World of Koh Ker Far and deeply hidden in the Cambodian jungles lies an ancient kingdom, in the tenth century King Jayavarman IV of the Khmer kingdom built his capital here. By increasing taxes, Jayavarman was able to build a beautiful innovative city, with forty Hindu temples, a huge water tank for irrigation and countless palaces. but immediately after Jayavarman IV's death, the city was abandoned. The capital was moved back to Angkor, now known for the temple of Angkor Wat. historians therefore believe that Jayavarman IV ascended the throne illegally, and that peace returned after his death. Central to Koh Ker is the immense pyramid of thirty-six meters high, called Prang. It seems that in her time it served as a place to contact the gods. The temple has seven steps where After the decline of the Khmer kingdoms, French explorers rediscovered the complex, they estimate that around 10,000 people lived there, and that over time the temples were converted into Buddhist temples. Koh Ker looks very bad these days, with many temples collapsed and statues stolen. A lot was stolen, especially in the 60s and 70s. In 2012, an auction agency attempted to auction a beautiful statue from the unmistakable style of Koh Ker, but was stopped by the American and Cambodian governments. Today the statue is back in Cambodian hands. And let that be the start of reclaiming Koh Ker. De Wondere Wereld Van Koh Ker Ver en diep verborgen in de Cambodjaanse oerwouden ligt een oud koninkrijk verstopt, in de tiende eeuw heeft koning Jayavarman IV van het Khmer koninkrijk hier zijn hoofdstad gebouwd. Door het verhogen van de belasting kon Jayavarman een prachtige innovatieve stad bouwen, met veertig Hindoeïstische tempels, een enorme watertank voor irrigatie en talloze paleizen. maar direct na Jayavarman IV’s dood, is de stad verlaten. De hoofdstad werd weer terug verplaatst naar Angkor, tegenwoordig bekend van de tempel van Angkor Wat. historici denken hierom dat Jayavarman IV op illegale wijze de troon besteeg, en dat de rust wederkeerde na zijn dood. Centraal in Koh Ker staat de immense piramide van zesendertig meter hoog, Prang genaamd. Het schijnt dat deze in haar tijd dienst deed als een plek om contact te leggen met de goden. De tempel heeft zeven trappen waar Na de neergang van de Khmer koninkrijken, hebben Franse ontdekkers het complex herontdekt, ze schatten dat er zo’n 10.000 mensen leefden, en dat de tempels na verloop van tijd zijn omgebouwd tot boeddhistische tempels. Koh Ker ziet er zeer slecht uit deze dagen, met veel tempels die in zijn gestort en beelden die zijn weggeroofd. Vooral in de jaren 60 en 70 is er veel gestolen. In 2012 probeerde een veilingbureau een prachtig beeld uit de onmiskenbare stijl van Koh Ker te veilen, maar dat is door de Amerikaanse en Cambodjaanse overheden tegengehouden. Tegenwoordig is het beeld weer in Cambodjaanse handen. En laat dat nou het begin zijn van het terugwinnen van Koh Ker.
