Geography of Southeast Asia : Original of the Culture
This world geography lesson focuses on the factors of the Southeast Asia Culture. Settlement of the region, diffusion of religion, colonization, and the effects of independence are featured.
The two theories of the settlement of the Southeast Asia archipelago are explained as is the establishment of rice agriculture in the region.
Three main divisions of Buddhism: Therevada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana are briefly discussed along with how Therevada and Mahayana Buddhism moved into SE Asia. The Khmer Empire’s Angwor Wat is examined as well.
The lesson ends with the impact of European colonization which not only created Shell Oil Company, but led to the situation in French Indochina that brought the United States to war and set the conditions for Pol Pot’s “Killing Fields”.
Geography of Southeast Asia : Modern Issues
This video lesson provides an overview of some of the issues found in Southeast Asia. The lesson begins by discussing the government and economic systems of each country in Southeast Asia. It also discusses the political complexities of Cambodia, Myanmar (Burma), and Thailand.
The Human Developmental Index of Southeast Asian countries are discusses as well as some of the underlying demographics such as birth rate, fertility rate, literacy rates, and others.
Globalization is discussed in context to the role that Southeast Asia plays in it. This not only includes outsourcing, but Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia’s role as transshipment points for container ships through the Strait of Malacca.
It finishes by looking at some of the environmental costs of modern life in Southeast Asia including the “Southeast Asian Haze.”
Why THAILAND is THRIVING And Myanmar id DYING.
Myanmar and Thailand could not look more different today. Despite the two sharing a similar geography and region of the world, one has been modernizing and making economic gains while the other has slipped into full blown civil war. And this is interesting because, geographically, such contrasts are quite rare!
In today’s video, we’ll cover the physical geography that connects Myanmar and Thailand together, how their histories were similar and very different, and why Myanmar today is in a full blown civil war while Thailand, despite some recent issues, continues to be a pretty safe place to live and visit.

How the world’s oldest university was lost for 800 years / BBC News INDIA
Founded more than 1,500 years ago, India’s ancient Nalanda University is thought to have been the world’s first residential university.
Established more than 500 years before Oxford University, at its peak Nalanda hosted over 10,000 students from around the globe. It is considered by historians to be one of the great centres of learning of the ancient world.
The university was destroyed towards the end of the 12th Century AD. Its legendary library burned to the ground and much of its ancient knowledge was lost.
Now, 800 years later, the university is being revived for the modern age

How an Indian Merchant Became Cambodia’s First King : Story of Indianization
Yep, you read that right. Cambodia’s first king (Kaundinya) was an Indian merchant!
But Kaundinya is more than just a man. He symbolizes over 1000 years of Indian influence in the region, a connection that would change the face of Southeast Asia forever.
In this video, I’ll introduce you to the Kaundinya-Soma love story, but I’ll also introduce you to many other Indians and Southeast Asians whose experiences reveal a lot about the Indianization process.
In fact, we’ll even explore a “reverse” story: that of Nandi Varman II, a SE Asian prince who claims the Pallava Dynasty throne and becomes the greatest of the Pallava kings.

“ABOUT MYANMAR”
Myanmar, also known as Burma, is a country located in Southeast Asia. It is bordered by Bangladesh, India, China, Laos, and Thailand. The capital city is Naypyidaw, and the largest city is Yangon (formerly known as Rangoon).
Myanmar has a population of over 54 million people, with a diverse range of ethnic groups and languages. The majority of the population practices Theravada Buddhism, but there are also significant Christian, Muslim, and Hindu communities.
Myanmar has a complex and often troubled history, including a long period of British colonial rule, multiple military coups, and ongoing conflicts with various ethnic groups. In recent years, the country has faced international criticism for its treatment of the Rohingya Muslim minority, which has resulted in a large-scale refugee crisis.
In 2021, Myanmar experienced a military coup that overthrew the democratically elected government, leading to protests and violence throughout the country. The situation remains unstable, with ongoing human rights violations and a deteriorating humanitarian situation.
Myanmar’s Unifying Kingdom / The Mark Of Empire /Bagan
The Bagan Empire was first to unify the territory of present-day Myanmar under Burmese language and culture, that grew into a world-renowned centre of Buddhist learning. Host Peter Lee learns how its fabled king, Anawrahta, overcame the dry conditions of his land by taming rivers into canals and weirs which are still used today. As a bigger harvest grew his population, Bagan was ripe for expansion, and Peter takes part in the traditional elephant dance that celebrates a Buddhist pilgrimage of King Anawrahta’s. While the Bagan king wished to turn Bagan into a new Buddhist state, Peter heads to a sacred mountain to see the battle that unfolded between Buddhism and Myanmar’s indigenous animist gods, called Nats. It’s expansion transformed Bagan into a capital of diverse peoples, who each brought their own in founding a new Burmese culture and identity. And the legacy of its temple building still lives on in a strong faith that’s practiced among the Burmese people today.
About the series: Host Peter Lee explores the history of four Southeast Asian empires that made their mark on the world. Travelling from Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia to Indonesia, Peter explores ancient ruins, epic legends and vibrant traditions to chart the rise and fall of four distinct empires, and how their legacy still shapes cultures and identities in the region today
Cambodia’s Temple Kingdom / The Mark Of Empire / Ankoe
A thousand years ago, the Angkor Empire conquered large swathes of Southeast Asia to become one of the region’s greatest powers. Host Peter Lee journeys through Cambodia to learn how life in Angkor still revolves around the ebb and flow of the floodwaters that come with the yearly monsoons, and how the ancient Khmer overcame the environmental challenge and became masters of engineering, building canals and reservoirs to act as flood defences and irrigation channels to boost their rice harvests. The Khmer also built a network of roads to exert their authority far and wide, and created a social system of education, taxation, and even healthcare that revolved around temples. Peter visits the Angkor Empire’s crowning glory — Angkor Wat — the world’s largest religious monument to see how it was built, and how intricate carvings detailing life a thousand years ago are linked with a modern Cambodian tradition.

Empire of the Khmer King. history ,Art and Architecture of the Angkor Wat Capital
The ancient Khmer civilization, centered around the magnificent city of Angkor, was once a thriving empire that left an indelible mark on Southeast Asian history. From the 9th to the 15th centuries, the Khmer kings reigned over a vast empire in present-day Cambodia, creating remarkable architectural wonders and advancing their society through art, culture, and religion. At the heart of this majestic empire lies the awe-inspiring Angkor Wat, a temple complex that stands as a testament to the Khmer’s architectural brilliance and cultural richness. #khmerCivilization
angkorwat #ancienthistory
The Rise of the Khmer Empire:
The Khmer Empire emerged in the early 9th century when Jayavarman II declared himself a universal monarch and established his capital in the region of present-day Cambodia. However, it was during the reign of King Suryavarman II that the empire reached its zenith. Suryavarman II commissioned the construction of Angkor Wat, a colossal temple dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu, as a symbol of his authority and devotion.
Angkor Wat: A Jewel of Architecture:
Angkor Wat, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is an architectural marvel and the most famous symbol of the Khmer Empire. The temple complex covers an area of 402 acres and showcases a unique blend of Hindu and Buddhist elements. Its intricate carvings, detailed bas-reliefs, and towering spires exemplify the Khmer’s mastery of stone craftsmanship. Angkor Wat’s design represents Mount Meru, the mythical abode of the gods in Hindu mythology, and stands as a testament to the empire’s spiritual and artistic pursuits.
The Temples of Angkor:
Beyond Angkor Wat, the Khmer kings erected numerous other temples in the Angkor area, creating a vast architectural landscape that spans over 400 square kilometers. Each temple boasts its own distinctive features and significance. For instance, the Bayon Temple, built by Jayavarman VII, is known for its intricate bas-reliefs and its enigmatic stone faces that gaze in all directions. The Ta Prohm Temple is famous for the way it has been reclaimed by nature, with massive tree roots intertwining with the temple’s structures.
Khmer Art and Culture:
The Khmer Empire’s art and culture flourished alongside its architectural accomplishments. Sculptures, statues, and paintings adorned the temples, depicting scenes from Hindu and Buddhist mythology, as well as the lives of the Khmer people. A significant artistic achievement of the empire is the “Churning of the Sea of Milk,” a famous bas-relief found at Angkor Wat, which showcases a mythical tale with remarkable detail and artistry.
Decline and Legacy:
The decline of the Khmer Empire can be attributed to a combination of factors, including political instability, environmental changes, and pressure from neighboring kingdoms. The capital was eventually abandoned, and the once-mighty empire fell into obscurity until its rediscovery by European explorers in the 19th century. Today, the legacy of the Khmer Empire lives on in the ruins of its temples, captivating tourists from around the world and inspiring awe with their grandeur and intricate beauty.
The Empire of the Khmer Kings and the magnificence of the Angkor Wat capital stand as testaments to the cultural and architectural achievements of ancient Southeast Asia. The Khmer Empire’s dedication to art, architecture, and religion produced some of the most awe-inspiring structures in the world. The intricate carvings, elaborate temples, and cultural legacy of the Khmer civilization continue to inspire and captivate visitors, showcasing the enduring power and beauty of human creativity and ingenuity. The Empire of the Khmer Kings remains an extraordinary chapter in human history, one that has left an indelible mark on the cultural heritage of Cambodia and the world .

Cambodia : The forgotten temple of Banteay Chhmar / DW Documentary
Deep in the jungle of Cambodia lies a jewel from the Khmer Empire: the temple of Banteay Chhmar. Half devoured by plants and long forgotten by most people, the 800-year-old complex is being rediscovered, slowly.
The village community of Banteay Chhmar is taking charge. Far from the well-trodden tourist trails, the rice farmers of this small village are trying an experiment unknown in Cambodia: with almost no outside help, they are fighting to preserve and restore their temple using nothing but their own strength. The filmmakers meet a young couple, Sreymom and Sopeng, who are enthusiastically involved in the village’s project. For them, the temple is a sacred place, and they teach their two young daughters to respect Buddha. Sreymom does not want to confine herself to the role of housewife and mother: she has professional ambitions, and applies for a job as teacher at the village school. Her husband, Sopeng, is a rice farmer and works part-time as a temple guide for the few travelers who visit the village. There is a lot to discover, including ornate Khmer reliefs documenting daily life in the ancient civilization, eerie temple tunnels and larger-than-life faces carved into towers that rivall those at the world-famous Angkor Thom. The village’s annual cultural highlight is Bon Om Tuk, the water festival, traditionally held on the water surrounding the temple.

Thailand’s Ancient Modern Kingdom / The Mark Of Empire /Ayutthaya
The city of Ayutthaya was the capital of a mighty empire that once controlled large parts of Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. A cosmopolitan centre of over a million residents, it was one of the wealthiest cities in the eastern hemisphere, and even compared to Paris.
Host Peter Lee travels through Thailand to explore the secrets of how this empire grew to be powerful. From ancient crypts that depict its growth as a trading nation, to elephants and a unique martial art used in battles to defend the kingdom, Peter explores how Ayutthaya grew into a prosperous trading hub, that attracted merchants from all over the world from Japan in the east to Great Britain in the west. So much so that foreign influences of Ayutthaya’s golden age still lingers in Thailand’s culinary traditions.
FROM BURMA TO THE RIVER KWAI- Great Railways
NICK LERA explores the infamous ‘Death Railway’ built by the Japanese during the Second World War to provide overland access to Burma in support of their ill-fated advance on India. In Thailand we travel by steam train across the creaking wooden trestles beside the Kwai River, and visit the Hellfire Pass where thousands of Allied prisoners and Asian conscripts died in forced labour conditions hacking the line through solid rock. In present-day Myanmar we travel behind classic British steam locomotives from Rangoon towards the Thai border, pausing at the Sittang river where the British lost the bridge to the Japanese in 1942. The exotic settings belie the trauma of their recent history. Filmed in 1999 before steam power was discontinued
Indonesia’s Spice Kingdom / The Mark Of Empire / Majapahit
The Majapahit Empire was the largest empire in Southeast Asia & the centre of the world-famous Spice Trade that stretched from China to Europe. Host Peter Lee starts off on the island of Java to see why it was so suited to cultivating rice, used to make exchanges with merchants from the Spice Islands. As demand for spices took off around the world, geography and timing of seasonal sailing winds saw Java grow into the centre for the global spice trade, which enriched Majapahit with luxury trade goods from all over the world.
With increased riches, the empire is said to have unified Indonesia’s islands into one nation. Peter travels to Sulawesi to see why the relationship between Majapahit Java and its outer islands was more nuanced than conqueror and subject. Today, the legacy of a united Indonesia under the Majapahit still looms large, where different groups hark back to the era in the face of increasing intolerance and conflict within the island state.

SHWEDAGON Pagoda : 2,500 Years of Myanmar’s Buddhist Legacy / FULL DOCUMENTARY
According to legend, Shwedagon Pagoda was built 2,500 years ago at the top of the Myanmarese capital Yangon, and its aura still protects the city today. The stupa, which contains eight strands of Buddha’s hair, is the most symbolic and sacred site in the country, of which 90% of the population are Buddhist.
Its architecture is made up of circles and squares, which in Buddhist cosmology represent heaven and earth respectively, and is further evidence of how sacred it is. The pagoda’s vibrant atmosphere is created by the 20,000 gold plates that cover the building and the precious stones that adorn it. Workers and volunteers spend every day at the site continually restoring it and keeping the stupa beautiful. They do this in the hope that their dedication will cultivate good karma for their future
