Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the historical significance of a recently discovered stele unearthed at the Sdok Kak Thom temple complex in Cambodia. Carbon dating places the stele's creation in the mid-11th century, during the reign of King Udayadityavarman II. The stele is inscribed with Sanskrit and Old Khmer texts that provide valuable insights into the religious, political, and social landscape of the era. The author meticulously analyzes both inscriptions, comparing them to other historical records and archaeological evidence to reconstruct a comprehensive narrative of the period. Through this comparative approach, the book sheds light on the complex relationship between the monarchy and the priestly class, the evolving role of Hinduism and Buddhism in Cambodian society, and the artistic and architectural achievements of the Angkorian Empire. The book's findings contribute significantly to our understanding of Southeast Asian history and culture, making it an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike.
