    I Khmer ( Cambodian) and live in Cambodia. but I am sorry for my English. according to new study by International team of researchers funded by Japanese government, Australia, lead by Japaneses archaeologist and Australia worked with Khmer archaeologist student reveal that Khmer People inhabit here at least 3000 years a go and started to 1000 establish their Kingdom 1000 years later or so but due to the very brutal and long war, all documentation, inscriptions were destroy.

    the History of Cambodia start from 802AD by Jayavarman II after he declared independent from Srivijava.

    There is speculation that Jayavarman II was probably linked to a legendary king called Jayavarman Ibis, known from the inscriptions K. 103 (dated 20th April 770) and K. 134 (dated 781) who finally settled in the Angkor region, marrying into a local ruling family, what can be corroborated by the inscriptions of Preah Ko (K. 713, dated Monday, 25th January 880) , Bakong (K. 826, dated 881/82) and Lolei (K. 324, dated Sunday, 8th July 893). All other information about this king, including the date of his accession, is late and legendary, taken mainly from the Sdok Kak Thom inscription (K. 235, dated 8th February 1053.

    The Khmer Empire was the largest continuous empire of South East Asia, based in what is now Cambodia. The empire whose foundation dates back to a small kingdom of Indian king, seceded from the kingdom of Chenla, at times ruled over or vassalised parts of modern-day Laos, Thailand and Southern Vietnam. During the formation of the empire, the empire had intensive cultural, political, and trade relations with Java, and later with the Srivijaya empire and Srivijayan ally, Sailendra, that lay beyond the Khmer state's southern border. Its greatest legacy is Angkor, which was the capital during the empire's zenith. Angkor bears testimony to the Khmer empire's immense power and wealth, and the variety of belief systems that it patronised over time. The empire's official religions included Hinduism and Mahayana Buddhism, until Theravada Buddhism prevailed after its introduction from Sri Lanka in the 13th century. Satellite imaging reveals Angkor to have been the largest pre-industrial urban center in the world, larger than modern-day New York.

    so most historian concluded that Cambodia start from 802 when Javavarman declare him self as the god-king and ruler of Khmer Empire.
