Jawaman II: The King of the Gods Claimed by the Khmer Empire

However, the life story of Jaya Waman described in this inscription can't be found anywhere else.

In addition, it is said that two inscriptions in the late 8th century reveal Jawaman's early activities as a ruler before the establishment of the Khmer Empire.

Although it is said that he may be of Khmer descent, Jayavarman is regarded as a "Javanese" as a prisoner or exile.

The location of this "Java" is a controversial topic. It is usually considered as an island of modern Indonesia. However, there are some problems with this explanation.

For example, in the historical records of Indonesia/Java, the story of Indonesian/Javanese conquering Cambodia in the eighth century A.D. is considered to be non-existent.

One possible explanation for the appearance of "Java" in the inscription is that it was a legend created by10th century and10th century, which witnessed the rise of Java topography, an important new trade center in East Java.

It is said that Jayawaman has started to gain support in the central region, and then went to the area called Luoluo today, 20 kilometers southwest of Angkor Wat (12.

42 miles) and established its own capital there.

Meanwhile, it is reported that the date of Jayawaman's return is not recorded. Another way of saying this is that it happened around 790 AD.

Jayawaman is not entirely a vassal of Javanese. In 802 (or later), he despised his overlord, declared independence and was named Devalaja. Devalaja's worship led the Khmer king to start large-scale projects, such as the construction of Angkor Wat.

The name "Jayavarman" can be found in these inscriptions.

It is quite possible that this Jayawaman is the same person as the one who founded the Khmer Empire.

According to these data, the future God King started military activities in southeast Cambodia, then moved north to Kratie, and then established his capital in Rollos.

Scholars like this version. They believe that Jawaman is not a vassal king sent from a distant land, but a local ruler who lived in Cambodia before he came to power.

According to tradition, Jawaman was declared the king of heaven in Cullen, Phnom Penh in 802.

By transforming himself into a divine king, Jayavarman asserted his sacred kingship and claimed his true absolute authority over his people and himself.

It is also said that this ceremony does not refer to Hindu gods, but to the traditional Khmer Pantheon.

In addition, some people say that devaraja only mentioned it in the inscription of Tom in Stockkak, and the person who wrote this word was only the person in charge of this sacred ceremony, thus exaggerating its importance ... I am a college student, majoring in archaeology.

My interests range from "traditional" to "radical" interpretation of archaeological/text/picture data sets.

I believe that the knowledge input from two extreme advocates will help to read Mor.
