Father Teaches His Son To Masterbate


































When in the mid-nineteenth century, Indo-Chinese Henry Mahout traversing the jungle in search of new specimens of flora and found the stone ruins of the temples, probably could have guessed, he will be the one who will restore the splendor zaginionemu the city and just 150 years later, able to Angkor the capital again Kmerow state. Nay, he did not believe even the temples of Angkor were able to create polbarbarzyncy, whom he saw in the inhabitants of today's Cambodia. But! IX to XIII century Kmerowie created a great empire, which stretched from India to China. Empire must have decent sizes Capitals, who will be center of the military, economic, and above all religious. The city of Angkor built during the reign of three monarchs kmerskich, was the largest pre-modern metropolis of the world, capable of holding one million inhabitants. Most citizens of the town were the monks and priests, and Buddhist, and Hindu, as a state-religion vary depending on the inspiration of the next ruler. Of 3,000 square kilometers was built over a thousand temples, and most important of them, Angkor Wat, rose 50 thousand. laborers for over 30 years. Angkor of course, is no longer officially the capital of Cambodia. Abandoned in the fifteenth century, at the mercy of the jungle and the outdoors for the interest of the tourist mass audience by the French traveler said, is the economic capital, which has the staggering profits for the company primarily zarzadzajcej this large property, but also for the entire tourist facilities in the nearby town of Siem Reap. Annually, the complex is visited by about 2 million tourists who dearly pay for tickets and merchandise. Visiting the Eighth Wonder of the world - priceless. For everything else you can pay in dollars. The city remained the temples, some only as a foundation stone of volcanic hampering rice, others with breathtaking ruins, steep vaults, statues and the walls, holding them together thanks oplatajacym roots of trees. With funding from UNESCO and the commitment from the individual countries (Japan, Germany, India), and temples are restored slowly. We spent two days driving from one temple to another, admire the momentum, originality of each of them and insanely-devotional visions of each of the rulers of the empire kmerskiego. In those remote from the main trail we could feel like a discoverer of a mysterious lost world.
