Do you know Early European Explorers refused to Credit Khmer People with building of City of Angkor Wat ??
The early Europeans were an ignorant lot. They went to all continents looking for uncivilised people but they found people who were more civilised and cultured than the Europeans themselves. Compared to the people of Asia the Europeans have a very nascent culture. They are like kids who have come into the vast world of the adults and are now trying to give meanings and interpretations in their own childish ways to things which they do not and cannot understand.
