What was the cause of the destruction of angkor what?

Answer 1

I had read the history of Angkor Era.There was not clear why the AngKor Wat destructed.But there were some reasons that i can share with you from my reading. One of the main reason is War between the royal family.They fought for the power and disunity within the government which caused the country weaken.Beside there were between neightbor countries such as Siem,which is Thailand now.It is interesting to know that religion played a major role for the weaked of Angkor Era.During Angkor Era, the King considered as the god king.they were Hindu that time.So people were so devoted to their king and country.They work hard to build the country to please the king ,to praise the god.As you have seen the temples in Siem Reap.They were significant to the Khmer people.However the Budism were introduced in Khmer kingdom after the one of the king ascended his throne.he is very devoted Budis.He orderd people to destroy the Hindu temple and changed their religion practice.Budism is more selflessness,teach people not much concentrated with their world accomplishment.They were more relaxed and contented with their lives.Because of these believes.It made people lazy and much much accomplish.Eventually the Angkor Era get weaker and weaker.
