Cambodia: The Lost World Of Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge | Journeys To The Ends Of The Earth | Real History



Cambodia is a country of impenetrable jungles and ruins lost in time. Where kings became gods and monks still seek heavenly peace. Now, this mysterious land has begun to open up to reveal the dark beauty that has lured adventurers here for centuries. For more than 30 years, the jungles have been cut off from the modern world, and much of that time it has been a Khmer Rouge stronghold.

David Adams boldly penetrates these jungles to meet with former Khmer Rouge militants to enter the last bastion of the Khmer Rouge and visit the final resting place of one of the most ruthless killers in history, Pol Pot. Their new purpose is to protect the forests and the populations of endangered wildlife. Though jungles and along the river the trek is not easy, nor is it in vain.

  1. Last month we have visited Cambodia, Angkorvot Temple is a beautiful temple and is a testimony to the mankind's ability to build great monuments. Cambodian people are innocent and they are repeatedly suffering from so many man made misfortunes.

  4. The killing fields are rooted in the communist way of absolute conquest. That is cleansing all the infidels after they won the battle… led by mainly the Viet Minh. This happened in Laos as well. Though the cleansing is not as massive as in Cambodia, the majority of the opponents were sent to die in the so-called " seminar camps "

  7. The attempted genocide of the Cambodian people is almost unbelievable. Pol Pot said that Cambodia didn't need so many people in the country.That is why it was enough for him to get to a million. After his defeat at the hands of the Vietnamese in 1979, he was never brought to trial for conviction. He died in 1998 in exile, amidst comforts of all kinds. 'Cause it was never doom'Cause it was never condvintage? China and the United States of America have always protected it for their interests in the area. Now I can cry all my tears for the innocent victims of an international political design.

  8. I have lived in Siem Reap,Cambodia for the past 7 years and the Khmer people are so kind and welcoming. Its harsd to believe that they were subjected to the horros of the Khemr Rouge. I was shocked and turly moved when I toured S 21 and The Killing Fields. I love Cambodia and its unique and amazing culture.
