Awesome history of the Great Angkor.

1.What contributed to the rise and of Angkor civilation?

Firstly,its because of the Khmer kings apply the same monarcy system of Indian civilation.The king known as the “god-king”,thus able him to rule his empire in absolute power.Secondly.its because of the Angkor is located in a strategic location.

Geographically,Angkor surrounded by thick forests from all sides and it is in the north of Tonle Sap lake,so the only possible way to enter this magnificient Angkor is by sailing upstream from Mekong river.So,we can say that Khmer's enemies are taking a big risk when attacking Angkor because they have to sail upstream of Mekong river which made their battle ships move slower and easier to be attacked.Next,the Khmerian have efficient and extensive irrigation system which enable them to cultivate crops two to three times a year which led to strong economy of Angkor empire.

2.What contributed to the fall of Angkor?

Firstly,it is because introduction of Theravada Buddahism to Khmer people on 13th century which has challenged Angkorian monarchy as a “god-king”.Secondly,because of the loss of water control.This happen when Khmer people loss their devotion to 'god-king' and they are not willingly work for their king.Thus,weaken the rice productivity and strength of Angkor empire.Thirdly,because of Siamese invansions to Angkor empire through the road network,built by Jayavarman VII and lastly because of natural disasters such as earthquakes.

3.How did the Khmer people cultivate rice?

Seasonal rise and fall in the water level allowed local farmers to harvest a variety of 'floating rice'in the lake. It is a fast growing variety that germinates in deep water and grows as much 4 inches in a single day.The rice always stays on the surface because its rate of growth is the same as the rate of which the lake rises.

4.How the main temple(Angkor Wat)survive?

After the attacking of Siamese,the main temple(Angkor wat)was overtaken by the forests,after that it remained a Buddhist shrine and have been taking care by buddhist monks.

IBAN IN SARAWAK

INTRODUCTION

The Ibans are a branch of the Dayak peoples of Borneo.The total population of Iban people is 100,000 in Sarawak only... Majority of Ibans who live around the Lundu and Samarahan region are called Sebuyaus. The origin of the name Iban is a mystery.It exits in many theories..During the British colonial era, the Ibans were called Sea Dayaks. Some believe that the word Iban was an ancient original Iban word for people or man. The modern-day Iban word for people or man is mensia, a slightly modified Malay loan word of the same meaning (manusia) of Sanskrit Roor.

The Ibans were unfortunately branded for being pioneers of headhunting. Headhunting among the Ibans is believed to have started when the lands occupied by the Ibans became over-populated. In those days, before the arrival of western civilization, intruding on lands belonging to other tribes resulted in death. Confrontation was the only way of survival...

BRANCHES OF IBAN PEOPLE

Ibans who live in areas in Serian district (places like Kampung Lebor, Kampung Tanah Mawang & others) are called Remuns. They may be the earliest Iban group to migrate to Sarawak. Ibans who originated from Sri Aman area are called Balaus. Ibans who come from Betong, Saratok & parts of Sarikei are called Saribas. The Lubok Antu Ibans are classed by anthropologists as Ulu Ai Ibans. Ibans from Undup are called Undup Ibans. Their dialect is somewhat a cross between the Ulu Ai dialect & the Balau dialect. Ibans living in areas from Sarikei to Miri are called Rajang Ibans. They are the majority group of the Iban people. They can be found along the Rajang River, Sibu, Kapit, Belaga, Kanowit, Song, Sarikei, Bintangor, Bintulu and Miri. Their dialect is somewhat similar to the Ulu Ai dialect.

RELIGION

The Ibans were traditionally animist, although the majority are now Christian, some of them Muslim and many continue to observe both Christian and traditional ceremonies, particularly during marriages or festivals.

FESTIVAL

The main festival for Iban is festival Gawai Dayak..The Gawai Dayak festival is celebrated every year on the 1st of June, at the end of the harvest season, to worship the Lord Sempulang Gana.The other festival that they have celebrated are Gawai Burong ( bird festival ) and Gawai Antu ( spirit festival )...

CULTURE

They have difference in faiths, Ibans of different faiths do help each other during Gawais and Christmas. Differences in faith is never become a problem in the Iban community. The Ibans believe in helping and having fun together. This is ironic for a tribe who once waged war with others due to differences.

MUSICAL AND DANCING HERITAGE

The Iban as well as the Kayan also play an instrument resembling the flute called 'Sape'. The Sape is the official musical instrument in Sarawak. It is played similarly to the way rock guitarists play guitar solos, a little slower but not as slow as blues.One of the example of Iban traditional music is the taboh.

The Ibans have a unique dance called the ngajat. It serves many purposes depending on the occasion. During Gawais, it is used to entertain the people who in the olden days enjoy graceful ngajats as a form of entertainment. Iban men and women have different styles of ngajat. The ngajat involves a lot of precise body-turning movements. The ngajat for men is more aggressive and depicts a man going to war, or a bird flying (as a respect to the Iban god of war, Singalang Burong). The women's form of ngajat consists of soft, graceful movements with very precise body turns. Each ngajat is accompanied by the taboh or the body.
