>Jayavarman II is widely regarded as the king that set the foundation of the Angkor period in Cambodian history, beginning with the grandiose consecration ritual he conducted in 802 on Mount Mahendraparvata, now known as Phnom Kulen, to celebrate the independence of the Khmer Empire from "Java".>He had resided for some time in Java during the reign of the Sailendra Dynasty, or "The Lords of Mountains", and as such the concept of Devaraja or God King was ostensibly imported from Java. At that time, the Sailendra Dynasty allegedly ruled over Java, Sumatra, the Malay Peninsula and parts of CambodiaThis means most Mainland SEA countries were massively influenced by Javanese through Khmer Empire
why are candi in java concentrated in central and east java? why are there so few in the west?
>>220961698Most of spices that hindus of India and chinese Buddhists wanted to mercantilize and grow in plantations was more in East Indonesia, close to Moluscas, and you must remember that was this money that made build such indonesian temples and citadels possible
>>220960146This is not the right question, the better question is, why Phillipines only have as culture, like four fucking islands, Luzon, Mindoro, Mindanao, only hispanic culture but none a single hindu temple or mosque, being so fucking close to Japan, China and India? The average pinoy ruin is a farmer that some spanish guy planted tabaco, and abandoned to jungle cover it
>>220961698There are plenty in west Java too. Some of the oldest are in west Java.
>>220962006It's an obscure note but on Ryukyu the American mission in the 1850s found random stone ruins when they asked the locals no one could give a proper history. There's also more minutia like the Batak tribe being comprised of literate cannibals using an offshoot of Brahmi script. This supports the idea of Siam being some kind of regional hegemon rather than Java because those scripts spread from Khmer rather than emerging from the islands proper.
>>220960146>This means most Mainland SEA countries were massively influenced by JavaneseNo wonder we are so backwards and retarded

>>220960146Playing CK3 in SEA is so boring. Once you have everyone around you as tributaries, you can't mess around with anything because they're tributaries and not vassals.
>>220962173SEAs are not brown, they are mongoloids/yerow
>>220962080there are a lot more in central and east java, thoughhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candi_of_Indonesia#Locationwere those the centers of population in pre-colonial java? or the wiki list just incomplete>>220962006for some reason candi are largely restricted to java and bali with some few examples in sumatera. this despite the fact that many other islands also had hindu-buddhist influence which reached to the philippines. it's so sad desu >tfw no cool cando dotting kalimantan, sulawesi, madura, lombok and sumbawa
>>220962476Javaniggas are the biggest Indoboo on the planet, and beside you needs fuckton of people to carve stone and statues and shit, and those Javaniggas definitely planted fuckton of rice

>>220964741what do you mean by that?
>>220960146Nah. Maybe Greece. The Melaka Sultanate was Rome. The official language you speak now is based on the Melaka Malay dialect as passed down through the Johor Riau Empire.
