Entering Cambodia across the frontier from Thailand...you immediately see the utter physical destruction of everything of what was once beautiful old colonial towns – each almost wiped off the face of the earth, leveled, scorched by military cannons and shells... When Emil arrived in the boom town of Siem Reap...while so stark and clear in the ruins of the buildings you can even almost still smell the burning embers, you see the spirit of a people who long and hope for a return to an uneventful life...willing to march towards a better future… Traveling with Emil is a pain...it is an exercise in boredom and sore feet but, still with an old school Nikon F-4... Emil discovers a world that most of us would have passed without a pause...

He was known as The King-Father of Cambodia and to the suffering remains of the children who lived through the shattering years of war, genocide and political upheavals; Norodom Sihanouk was as close that his kingdom had as a father figure.

He had spent years in exile, downcast and several times near broke.

But, in his latter days, he returned to lead the children of Cambodia out of the Killing Fields and back onto the path to a better future. Just as his people had learned to love him, he up and died, leaving the country in 30 days of mourning his untimely passage…

The hour was seriously waning late into an already hot and dusty afternoon and our traveling mates were grumbling about the need to get to the hotel, we were doubly disgruntled with yet another Temple stop or so we thought as we walked through the open gates of Wat Thmey Temple… The complex is a live monastery that has a notorious history of terror and that of redemption as a center for housing and teaching the children left orphan after the Killing Fields. The Temple has a ghoulish theme meant to never let you forget what had happened and, boy it was visual. Off the center court was a large Stupa memorial with glass sides filled with the skulls and bones of those who died during the Khmer Rouge. These have been diligently gathered by local residents in memory of their families and friends. As always Emil was complaining about the vast cohort of tourists following us step-by-step, preventing him from shooting his pictures… Weird…every time Emil would get an open window for the perfect shot, his Nikon said “No!” Seriously! The camera went dead…Only after he backed up to a more respectable distance… We were warned about unhappy spirits who still walk the grounds…

The stone tunnel turned into a courtyard of scattered and ruined temples, Seine paused so we could stand where no one had for 400 years.

The wonders of man had been ravaged by the power of the jungle and we stood still for the longest time.

Seine then ordered us to move forward, always with a careful eye for the giant tigers that protected the lost temple.

The Kemetic Origin of Freemasonry:

In myths, legends, scripture...and even along the avenue leading into the great temple of Angkor Wat in...you might even see traditional beliefs of the Kemetic Order that have been recorded by ancient Indian Hindu Travelers...Implicitly caching happens in many areas inside the Greater Angkor Zone Planning Region...

While visiting some cemeteries you may notice that headstones marking certain graves have coins on them, left by previous visitors to the grave.

A coin left on a headstone or at the grave site is meant as a message to the deceased soldier's family that someone else has visited the grave to pay respect.
