Great work. I do have a Cham last name but ignorant of its history. It took me 4 replays to capture a broad idea of what happened to my people 😂 Thank you for a great video
Greetings from the Native Khmer in Mekong delta Vn! All the best to you all.
Basically, the Vietnamese committed genocide on the people of Champa. It was reported that their commanding general offered a coin for every Cham adult’s head collected. It’s a shame because the Champa people had a much richer culture than that of the Vietnamese which is just a copy of the Chinese. Just look at their architectures for example. There is nothing in north Vietnam that can match their beauty and grace.
Thanks for your clip. I can learn so many things cuturally on the Cham tower from your educated video.
I'm confused. Is your channel about traveling or history? Also you two speak English pretty well, dont need to waste your time on the subtitles.
Appreciate the information but fyi your rapid fire narrative is distracted by the monotonous and irritating background sounds/ music.
They are still around. Majority is muslim now.
The video itself is perhaps non-controversial on the history, but the thumbnail isn't accurate: It was "Dai Viet," not "Vietnam" that absorbed Champa Kingdom. Vietnam today is not Nguyen Dynasty Vietnam, and Champa had practically long ceased to exist as an independent sovereign when it was formally annexed by the Nguyen Dynasty in 1832. So, one can say that ancient Champa Kimgdom wasn't erased, but simply a part of modern Vietnam, like the Republic of Texas is now a part of the USA. On a side note, while it was theoretically feasible to determine the extent of admixture of Champ genomes in today Central-South Vietnamese, given an extant self-identified Cham ethnic population, DNA studies by Vietnam researchers didn't reach any concrete results. It could be that the genetic admixture was so thorough that the extant Cham people identify themselves by culture and religion (Muslim), rather than genetic differentiation.
A Vietnamese-Am friend of mine had planned that, after retirement, he would go to Vietnam to do a thorough scientific/engineering study of these Champa ruins, as the existing work still left many questions unanswered. Unfortunately, he died of Covid. Hope the Vietnamese government does a better job of upkeeping these structures, such as removing overgrown vegetation and protecting them from further weathering.
15:20 in three towels there were three idols of Hindu gods removed or stolen. Some statues of Champa towels are located in the museum in France (Paris) or Vietnam (Da Nang city).
love to go there someday for sure
Việt Nam & Campuchia nên xóa bỏ Vương quốc này nếu không người Hồi giáo sẽ truyền bá giáo lý ồ ạt vào Đông Nam Á lục địa, nếu Vương quốc này không bị xóa bỏ, chúng ta sẽ thấy một Vương quốc Chăm khác giống như một Bangladesh / Aceh / Brunei khác với những Giáo lý cứng nhắc của họ…. Hãy nhìn vào Malaysia & Indonesia, chỉ có Bali mới có thể giữ được văn hóa của họ trong khi những dân tộc khác sẽ không thể bảo tồn tôn giáo địa phương của họ và chuyển sang đạo Hồi….. Điều đó sẽ không xảy ra ở Việt Nam..
From the River to the sea Champa will be free
Justice for 20 million indigenous Cham Hindus and Cham Muslims slaughtered by Vietnamese settler colonialists
Did these places have any other visitors besides the two of you? They look so empty.
