FOREST TEMPLE
Except for some sanskrit texts, among which the oldest date is the 3th century, all that we know about this realm comes from Chinese texts. The first embassy of the Fou Nan in the court of China dates to the year 225. The Fou Nan collapsed in the 6th century, under the pressure of a vassal state, Kambuja of the North annexed Cambodia of the South. One of their kings, Içanavarman I, based his capital in Sambor Prei Kuk.
