            Angkor Wat isn't that big. It only keeps being cited as the largest religious structure in the world by including the entire area surrounded by the moat (pic related) as part of the temple. The actual central temple structure in your picture would easily fit in St. Peters square.

            The moat is part of the structure because it's lined with carved stone. It's a pretty integral reason. And constantly clearing jungle is no small feat itself. It's extremely impressive it was able to last so long even in long term neglect.

            Not part of the building though, is it? If you count monastic complexes up to their outer walls, then places like Cluny Abbey mogged Angkor hard in the same time period.

            It's integral as the building's skin, protecting it from the jungle, and all of it was produced together in a single lifetime. Cluny's walls were expanded to house 1,000 until 10,000 two centuries later.

            The temple is about twice the size of St. Peter's Square.

            so why do you keep beating around the bush ignoring that european architecture is generally better? vaults disperse heat and are more generally useful than domes or the strained chambers of sea architecture. european architecture has good decoration that isnt the empty busyness of hindu art. do you have good points on what makes non-european architecture better? im the angkor wat defender btw, it well earned its logically sound reputation as the world's most massive religious building.

            >You know that’s not what I meant, too. These structures are more impressive than any European church
            European churches were constructed using many blocks of stone, which were carved, moved into place, and finished, creating very large, very high, domes and walls, which defy the strength of the material for the size.

            The Indian structures, and mostly heavily carved stone structures, made from stone such as granite, which is significantly harder than the stone types used in Europe, but which is also structurally way stronger and more resilient.
            In some cases the Indian temples were carved out of the “living rock” rather than constructed of multiple blocks.

            It’s sort of a toss up which is more impressive.
            Engineering wise, I would say the European buildings.
            Workmanship wise, the granite is more impressive.

            yeah but hindu architecture has evil themes. they represent chaotic gods and degenerate tier sex which is the mindset that led to india being such a shithole in the first place. i think you have a point in the energy and workmanship required for them, but aesthetically the victor is europe.

      These civilizations would figure out how to clear jungle for farmland and it could be very productive per acre leading to a very dense population, due to trade influence from China and India they would quickly figure out exquisite architecture like this.

      However eventually the gravy train would run out. The jungle root system traps a lot of water while the countless millions of trees help water evaporate, it effectively creates its own rainfall, but only on this huge scale, as the jungles recede so does this water recycling, if there is a drought the entire area just dries out. To make matters worse most of their crops require ample water, rice or in the case of the Maya who suffered a similar fate, maize.

      Just like that it is over, the famine becomes apocalyptic and agriculture does not recover until the jungles do, leaving behind majestic ruins.

        They had to have cut tens of thousands of acres if not one hundred thousand to have that kind of effect. They managed to do that with stone tools? I think you're overestimating how much land they cleared.

            Mental health and neuropsychological assessment of the typical politically incorrect poster.

            Pepe Frog, MD, MPH, PhD, Wojak Feel Guy,MD, PhD
            University of Meme,Kek State

            Every three or four threads created on the board you will find one discussing blacks and even threads having nothing to do with them will oftentimes have some anon/anons who have them on the brain.Behind all the hate, behind all the monkey and KANGZ memes,Tyrone sheeit comics,gifs,demotivational pictures, and webms - /misc/ users secretly admire the Black.The raw brass confident masculinity that they possess which they are quick to compare to a feral animal,and yet at the same time acknowledge is what women truly desire at their core and what is lacking in many white heterosexual unions.Their intrinsic ruggedness that enables them to stamp their mark on any field of physical activity that they enter.The amazing sense of rhythm that they naturally seem to possess that they liken to ape gesticulations and yet are oh so majestic to witness.Then there is the stereotype of the black man's sexuality,particularly his phallus.It has become a bodily protuberance of myth and legend.There is a reason that r/AsianMasculinity trolls are laughed off while BBC and Blacked generates anger and solemn disdain.For where the asian man's masculinity is considered a joke the black man's is a threat to be taken with utmost seriousness,for there may be a kernel of truth to it.Is it a coincidence that of all the races of men it is the black man whose masculinity has become a meme? Based on our assessment,Dr. Wojak and I have thus concluded that /misc/ is a board populated with manic depressive autistic schizoid individuals afflicted with a sort of Jungian-Pavlovian psychopathological Black-complex.

    It's less impressive when you've been there and realize those aren't actual domes topping some impressive, tall-ceiling interior, but just rounded rocks on top of other rocks. It's a big pile of nicely decorated rocks with a small niche of an interior with a pretty low ceiling. If you were to look at a floor plan of the interior the vast majority of it would be taken up by the wall thickness.

    It's impressive logistically and in terms of decorative craftsmanship, not so much in terms of architecture or engineering.

    There must have been a ruling caste that was at least party-white.

    Only whites construct epic architecture, if you ever see epic architecture anywhere, especially anything that contains or requires STRAIGHT LINES, that means it was constructed with native workers working under white overseers and project managers. From the Pyramids on down.

    If you see a straight line in architecture, that's the tell-tale sign that white people designed it and ordered it to be built.

            How do YOU explain the fact that their Creation Myths agree with what I said and not with what you are arguing?

            What did they do when bearded white men with steel armor and weapons came walking up to them?

            "Oh wow, look who's back! It's the Gods our ancient ancestors worshiped, the ones who gave us our way of life and everything we know."

    IDK what race typed this but they're moronic. Could be SEA, could be white looking for a stick to beat others with. Christianity has been the more consistent inspirer of holy architecture in history, and the religious spirit of either civilization would frown on such barbaric behavior.

    The Southeast Asian Islands aren't like smoll pacific Islands like Hawaii or some shiet. They're bigass places that allow for a big population to expand.

    And Indonesia's Java & Sumatra Islands are home to enough fricking floodplains to feed a huge population of ricefarming Austronesians building discount Pajeet maritime empires.

    They didn't.

    Prior to the 1960s, history, anthropology, and archaelogy were fields led by white men who put forward the common sense
    IF a people were capable of creating a level of civilization they would maintain or exceed this degree of civility in modernity.
    IF a people were savages squatting on a past civilization's lands then there must have been a different people living there prior to them.

    It's a very recent, kosher nonsense to consider civilization some spontaneously emergent property completely divorced from the people manifesting it.

      >One of these temples, a rival to that of Solomon, and erected by some ancient Michelangelo, might take an honorable place beside our most beautiful buildings. It is grander than anything left to us by Greece or Rome

      This was written by a white, western famous archeologist from the 19th century.

      indonesians and cambodians are genetically the same people as the people who built those monuments
