Cambodia
This was one of the earliest of the south-east Asian kingdoms to be formed. It was
heavily influenced by India, and was essentially an indigenous culture,
predating most of the later Chinese influences on the region. The first
kingdom, Chen-la, dominated an area covering modern Cambodia,
Thailand and Laos. |

AD 802 - 1432
The capital of the empire was at Angkor, which was founded in 889 and
finally abandoned in 1432. At its height the kingdom extended even further
than its predecessor, taking in more territory to the north and reaching far down into the Thai peninsula.
Numbering of the kings continues from
