“Objects in museums have to come from somewhere. The stories of how they came to be in those collections often involve laws being broken, unethical behaviour, and extreme violence.” — Matthew Campbell Imagine a gay Jeffrey Epstein who set up shop in Thailand. Only rather than peddling young girls, he traded in bodybuilders and priceless antiquities. That's the story of the British émigré Douglas Latchford, the subject of Matthew Campbell's new book The Man Who Stole the Gods. It's the true story of a man who was born in the last days of the British Raj, made his fortune in Bangkok, became the world's leading dealer of Khmer antiquities, and was indicted for criminal conspiracy in 2019. Campbell's tale is simultaneously a crime story, a history of Cambodia, and a parable about the relationship between Western wealth and the world's cultural heritage. The Khmer Empire, which dominated Southeast Asia from the ninth to the fifteenth centuries, produced one of the finest civilisations of the medieval world. Angkor in the twelfth century had 750,000 people — making it ten times the size of London. After the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime, every Khmer site in Cambodia was systematically looted. The pieces went to the Metropolitan Museum, to Christie's, to private American collectors. Latchford was the central conduit. The Jeffrey Epstein enabler. Like Epstein, Latchford got away with it for years. Unlike Epstein, he died a free man, even chalking up a 2020 New York Times obituary as a Khmer antiquities expert. Five Takeaways • Douglas Latchford: The British Jeffrey Epstein of Asian Art: Born in the last days of the British Raj, educated in the UK, Latchford made his fortune in Bangkok and became the world's leading dealer of Southeast Asian antiquities — selling pieces for millions of dollars to the Metropolitan Museum, Christie's, and wealthy American collectors. He presented himself as an expert and connoisseur. He gave to universities and lent to exhibitions. He received a glowing obituary in the New York Times in August 2020. The dark side: he was, Campbell shows, the central organiser of a decades-long criminal conspiracy to loot Cambodia's cultural heritage. He was indicted in 2019 but died before he could be extradited. • The Khmer Empire: 750,000 People When London Had 40,000: The Khmer Empire dominated Southeast Asia from the ninth to the fifteenth centuries, ruling directly or indirectly over what is now Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, and parts of Malaysia. Its capital, Angkor, had 750,000 people in the twelfth century — when London had 40,000 at the absolute outside. The Khmer built extraordinary temple cities — Angkor Wat is only the most famous — and produced remarkable stone and bronze sculpture. Every single Khmer site in Cambodia was systematically looted. The pieces all went somewhere. A great many came to the West. • The Vietnam War, Nixon, Kissinger, and the Conditions for Genocide: The Vietnam War is central to Campbell's story. The Ho Chi Minh Trail ran partly through Cambodia, making Cambodia of great interest to Nixon and Kissinger. Beginning in 1968, large-scale American bombing of Cambodia — ostensibly aimed at destroying a supposed communist headquarters that, Campbell notes, never actually existed — helped destabilise the country and created the conditions in which the Khmer Rouge could emerge. The Khmer Rouge ideology: Pol Pot believed civilisation needed not to be reformed but erased. A blank slate. Rebuild from zero. • The Museum World's Complicity: The Sackler Parallel: The Metropolitan Museum of Art features prominently in Campbell's account. Objects in museums have to come from somewhere — the works in the Met did not originate in New York. How they came to be in those collections often involved laws being broken, unethical behaviour, and extreme violence. Campbell draws a parallel with Patrick Radden Keefe's account of the Sacklers: the more investigative journalists look at the wealthy donors and private collectors associated with major cultural institutions, the more troubling the stories that emerge. The museum world has a serious provenance problem. • The Happy Ending: Repatriation and the National Museum in Phnom Penh: Latchford was indicted in 2019 for criminal conspiracy. He died in 2020, in a monastery in Northern Thailand, before he could be extradited. He never went to trial. But the recovery effort — a remarkable collaboration between Cambodia and the US Department of Justice — tracked down hundreds of stolen objects through meticulous detective work. The pieces have been returned to Cambodia. The National Museum in Phnom Penh now has so many repatriated objects that it is running out of room and may need to build a new wing. As Campbell says: that's a good problem to have. About the Guest Matthew Campbell is an award-winning investigative journalist at Bloomberg Businessweek.

Producing Cambodian silk ikat is a time-consuming, expensive and difficult process.制作柬埔寨丝绸伊卡特是一个耗时、昂贵且困难的过程。The results are undeniably beautiful. But the challenges in the creation are driving this traditional craft towards extinction.结果无疑是美的。但创作过程中的挑战正将这一传统技艺推向消亡。Keiy Khmer Association with a team of eight weavers in Takeo province is one of the few Cambodian non-profits struggling to preserve this traditional silk ikat handicraft.位于茶胶省的Keiy Khmer Association拥有八名织工团队,是柬埔寨少数致力于保护传统丝绸伊卡特手工艺的非营利组织之一。We use imported dyes and silk. When we create a silk ikat from these materials, it is no longer Cambodian.我们使用进口染料和丝绸,当我们用这些材料制作丝绸伊卡特时,它就不再是柬埔寨风格的了。So I started this association, hoping to create something truly Cambodian by using Cambodian natural dyes from the nests of Khmer lac insects, the bark of prohut tree, malabar tree, and indigo, also known as plae.于是我创办了这个协会,希望利用高棉紫胶虫的巢穴、普罗树皮、马拉巴树皮,以及靛蓝等柬埔寨天然染料,创造出真正具有柬埔寨特色的东西。These are the four primary colors we use to mix and produce textiles and silk ikat.这些是我们用来混合制作纺织品和丝绸伊卡特染织的四种原色。The Cambodian Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts says very few remaining Cambodians know how to produce traditional Cambodian silk ikat.柬埔寨文化和艺术部表示,目前会制作柬埔寨传统丝绸伊卡特的柬埔寨人已经寥寥无几。If they are old people who know how to bend the silk and tie the knot, that's very good. They are valuable human resources for our country.若是懂得缫丝结绳的老人,那便再好不过了,他们可是我国宝贵的人力资源。But the biggest existential threat is the disappearing natural raw materials.但最大的生存威胁是自然原材料的消失。Before people raised lac insects in Stung Treng province near the Laotian border, but they stopped already.以前人们在靠近老挝边境的上丁省养殖紫胶虫,但现在已经停了下来。Khmer lac may go its thing and malabar trees in various communities are being cut down and thrown away because they think there is no use for the trees.高棉紫胶虫或许能自生自灭,但各社区的马拉巴树却因人们认为其毫无用处而遭砍伐丢弃。

The Bangkok Podcast | Conversations on Life in Thailand's Buzzing Capital
Greg and Ed discuss the long, strange and complex history between Thailand and Cambodia in an attempt to shed some light on the tragic current conflict. Greg begins with some early history. The majority of Southeast Asia was once part of the Khmer Empire based in Angkor. Eventually Thai kingdoms in Sukhothai and Ayutthaya achieved independence, but tension between the two powers was constant. In a complex maelstrom of alliance and conflict, each power borrowed, copied and outright stole selected cultural artifacts from each other, such that untangling the exact pedigree of multiple shared cultural touchstones can be difficult. Like many empires in history, the Khmer power began to wane in the face of territorial integrity, outside threats, inside warring, and eventually, the rise of Thai kingdoms (as well as Viet ones), all of which led to the slow decline of Angkor. In the late 1800s, the Khmers sought the protection of France, who bullied Siam into ceding territory that would eventually become modern Cambodia. Japan played a similar role in World War II. After the war in Vietnam, radical communists took over Cambodia and destroyed many institutions of modernity, but their extreme nature led them to be invaded by Vietnam, who eventually installed Hun Sen as prime minister. When Vietnam faltered in the 80s and 90s, Cambodia turned to China as a patron. When Thaksin Shinawatra, an outsider among the Thai elite, rose to power, he formed an unlikely bond with the Hun Sen clan in Cambodia. However, the recent Shinawatra foray into legalized casinos in Thailand was too much for the friendship, and Hun Sen betrayed Thaksin's daughter, leading to the downfall of her government. Both countries used the incident and long-gestating disputes over the border to stoke nationalist fervor, and provocations eventually led to all out conflict. Greg and Ed agree that while the two countries have clear issues to settle, the ongoing violence can only make matters worse, and diplomacy, with or without the help of Donald Trump, must prevail. Note that this episode was recorded on December 10, so there may or may not have been important developments by the time you hear this.

Through their journey, Corey emphasizes the significance of living in the present and embracing opportunities for understanding and connection. Takeaways Corey emphasizes the importance of being authentic in the beauty industry. Traveling can lead to significant personal growth and transformation. Creativity often involves filtering through a lot of ideas to find the magic. The beauty industry has the power to open doors and create opportunities. Honest conversations are essential for meaningful connections. Mental health can improve through creative expression and exploration. Consumption of media should be intentional and positive. Corey's journey into the beauty industry began with a desire to create. The Your Day Off podcast aims to highlight real stories from hairdressers. Hair Aid's mission is to change lives through beauty and service. The trip to Cambodia was a journey of self-discovery. Ego can hinder personal growth and connection. Hair Aid teaches valuable skills to those in need. Experiencing gratitude can transform one's perspective. Living in gratitude eliminates the need for a practice. Traveling alone can be both nerve-wracking and liberating. Understanding the history of Cambodia is crucial to appreciating its culture. The resilience of the Khmer people is inspiring. Surrendering control can lead to deeper presence. Finding joy and kindness in adversity is a powerful lesson.

Quan hệ hữu nghị truyền thống giữa Việt Nam và Bắc Triều Tiên được “tạo xung lực mới” thông qua chuyến công du Bình Nhưỡng của tổng bí thư Tô Lâm từ ngày 09-11/10/2025 nhưng tạm dừng ở cấp độ chính trị, trao đổi văn hóa và du lịch. Bình Nhưỡng đã phát triển mạnh chương trình tên lửa, kể cả hạt nhân và cho dù có muốn, Hà Nội cũng chỉ dừng ở “ý định thư hợp tác quốc phòng khi điều kiện cho phép”. Bắc Triên Tiên bị Liên Hiệp Quốc trừng phạt vì phát triển chương trình hạt nhân. Còn “Việt Nam không muốn vi phạm các lệnh trừng phạt quốc tế đối với Bắc Triều Tiên” theo nhận định của nhà nghiên cứu Vũ Khang, Khoa Khoa học Chính trị, Đại học Boston (Mỹ), vì Hà Nội đặt trọng tâm vào phát triển kinh tế trong những thập niên gần đây và không ngừng mở rộng mạng lưới đối tác với các nước phương Tây. Cùng với “ngoại giao cây tre”, Việt Nam thể hiện là “bạn” với tất cả các nước, là một quốc gia trung lập, không chọn phe. Và trong chính sách đối ngoại đa phương, Hà Nội coi Bình Nhưỡng là một đối tác quan trọng. Tuy nhiên, “việc này không đồng nghĩa là Việt Nam ủng hộ chương trình hạt nhân hay chính sách chống phương Tây của Bắc Triều Tiên”. Chuyến thăm Bình Nhưỡng của ông Tô Lâm diễn ra chỉ hai tháng sau chuyến công du Seoul còn cho thấy Hà Nội tiếp tục chính sách cân bằng quan hệ và đặt trọng tâm vào việc duy trì ổn định khu vực để phát triển kinh tế và hợp tác với cả hai miền Triều Tiên. Chuyến công du đầu tiên kể từ 18 năm qua mang lại những triển vọng như thế nào cho quan hệ Việt Nam - Bắc Triều Tiên ? Tiến sĩ Vũ Khang, học giả thỉnh giảng, tại Khoa Khoa học Chính trị, Đại học Boston, Mỹ, trả lời một số câu hỏi của RFI Tiếng Việt. RFI : Mối quan hệ giữa Việt Nam và Bắc Triều Tiên trở thành đề tài được chú sau khi nhà lãnh đạo Kim Jong Un mời tổng bí thư đảng Cộng Sản Việt Nam Tô Lâm đến dự 80 thành lập đảng Lao Động Triều Triên và lễ duyệt binh ở Bình Nhưỡng. Năm 2025 cũng đánh dấu 75 năm hai nước thiết lập quan hệ ngoại giao. Tuy nhiên, mối quan hệ này không phải lúc nào cũng suôn sẻ ! Vũ Xuân Khang : Quan hệ Việt Nam-Bắc Triều Tiên thực ra từ sau chiến tranh Lạnh không có nhiều phát triển so với quan hệ Việt Nam-Hàn Quốc. Nói như vậy không có nghĩa là quan hệ Việt-Triều không quan trọng. Trong tình hình chính sách đối ngoại hiện nay của Việt Nam, Bắc Triều Tiên là một trong những đối tác truyền thống của Hà Nội, khi hai nước thiết lập quan hệ ngoại giao kể từ rất sớm, vào tháng 01/1950. Và Bắc Triều Tiên là nước thứ 3 đã thiết lập quan hệ ngoại giao với Việt Nam, chỉ sau Trung Quốc và Liên Xô. Trong chiến tranh chống Mỹ, Bắc Triều Tiên đã cam kết sẽ bảo vệ miền Bắc khỏi các cuộc tấn công của Mỹ và chính họ đã gửi phi công tham chiến, cũng như một lượng lớn khí tài và viện trợ kinh tế cho miền Bắc. Mặc dù quan hệ hai bên đã bị sứt mẻ trong chiến tranh Đông Dương lần 3 khi Bắc Triều Tiên ủng hộ Trung Quốc và Khmer Đỏ chống lại Việt Nam, hai bên đã không có bất kỳ cuộc trao đổi cấp cao nào. Và đó gần như là giai đoạn mà hai bên không muốn nhắc tới. Đọc thêmViệt Nam cố giữ trung lập giữa Hàn Quốc và Bắc Triều Tiên Kể từ năm 1988-1989 đến nay, sau khi Việt Nam rút quân khỏi Cam Bốt, thì hai nước mới bắt đầu có những trao đổi cấp cao trở lại. Tuy nhiên, việc Việt Nam bình thường hóa quan hệ ngoại giao với Hàn Quốc vào năm 1992 đã khiến cho quan hệ Việt Nam-Bắc Triều Tiên tạm thời trở nên đóng băng. Kể từ đầu những năm 2000 trở lại đây, Việt Nam và Bắc Triều Tiên mới bắt đầu nối lại những đàm phán cấp cao do chính Bình Nhưỡng bày tỏ mong muốn là được thử nghiệm các mô hình mở cửa kinh tế như Việt Nam và Trung Quốc đã làm. Có thể thấy là quan hệ giữa Việt Nam và Bắc Triều Tiên kể từ sau Chiến tranh Lạnh không có nhiều phát triển, nhất là quan hệ thương mại gần như nhỏ giọt, chỉ khoảng 20 triệu đô la/năm. Và về quan hệ quân sự, càng không có một chi tiết nào được công bố trên truyền thông. Những năm gần đây, Việt Nam và Bắc Triều Tiên mong muốn tiếp tục nối lại quan hệ ngoại giao sau khi đại dịch Covid-19 làm ảnh hưởng tới trao đổi cấp cao giữa hai nước mà do chủ tịch Bắc Triều Tiên Kim Jong Un đã cố gắng nối lại trong chuyến thăm Hà Nội năm 2019. RFI : Tổng bí thư Tô Lâm là nhà lãnh đạo đảng thứ 3 đến thăm Bắc Triều Tiên trong 75 năm qua, lần gần đây nhất là chuyến thăm của tổng bí thư Nông Đức Mạnh năm 2007. Vậy chuyến công du này có ý nghĩa như thế nào ? Vũ Xuân Khang : Cần phải nói rõ là trong những năm gần đây, vì những lý do về kinh tế, về đại dịch nên Bắc Triều Tiên đã đóng cửa rất nhiều đại sứ quán và lãnh sự quán ở các nước đối tác truyền thống khác, như Uganda, Angola, Nepal, Senegal, Bangladesh, Hồng Kông, và Tây Ban Nha… nhưng họ vẫn duy trì hiện diện ở Việt Nam. Điều này cho thấy Bắc Triều Tiên vẫn nhìn nhận Việt Nam như là một đối tác rất quan trọng ở Đông Nam Á. Và trong những năm gần đây, cho dù hai nước không gặp nhau trực tiếp do đại dịch Covid-19, nhưng vẫn có những thư mừng hoặc những lời chúc mừng trong giai đoạn hai nước tổ chức Đại hội Đảng. Đặc biệt kể từ năm 2024, hai nước bắt đầu thực sự nối lại các cuộc gặp mặt cấp cao như chuyến thăm Việt Nam của ông Kim Song Nam, trưởng ban quốc tế trung ương của Đảng Lao động Triều Tiên, vào tháng 03/2024. Việt Nam cũng đã gửi thứ trưởng bộ Quốc Phòng và bộ Ngoại Giao đến thăm Bắc Triều Tiên vào tháng 9 và tháng 10/2024. Việc Bắc Triều Tiên hiện giờ mới mời được tổng bí thư Tô Lâm qua cũng là do đại dịch Covid-19 cũng như là hai bên vẫn chưa tìm được dịp đủ lớn, đủ trang trọng để mời tổng bí thư của Việt Nam qua. Dịp 80 năm thành lập đảng Lao Động Triều Tiên là một dịp rất hợp lý để Bắc Triều Tiên có thể nối lại các đàm phán cấp cao với Việt Nam ở cấp tổng bí thư. Đọc thêmViệt Nam giúp được gì Bắc Triều Tiên để gỡ thế cô lập ? RFI : Bắc Triều Tiên được cho là nhà cung cấp vũ khí, đạn dược cho Nga để duy trì cuộc chiến ở Ukraina. Bắc Triều Tiên cũng nổi tiếng về sản xuất tên lửa đạn đạo, hạt nhân, trong đó có một tên lửa đạn đạo tầm xa mới đã được giới thiệu trong lễ duyệt binh. Liệu mảng quân sự sẽ được đề cập trong quá trình thắt chặt quan hệ hữu nghị với Bình Nhưỡng không ? Hai bên dự kiến phát triển quá trình hợp tác này như thế nào ? Vũ Xuân Khang : Trong chuyến thăm lần này của tổng bí thư Tô Lâm, Việt Nam và Bắc Triều Tiên đã ký kết Ý định thư giữa hai bộ Quốc Phòng về hợp tác trong lĩnh vực quốc phòng. Cần nói rõ đây chỉ là ý định thư, nghĩa là hai nước bày tỏ quan điểm và các nội dung hợp tác trong tương lai khi các điều kiện cho phép. Và ở đây, lại cần nhấn mạnh vào yếu tố "khi các điều kiện cho phép" bởi vì Việt Nam hiểu rằng Bắc Triều Tiên vẫn đang chịu cấm vận rất lớn từ phương Tây. Đặc biệt là chương trình vũ khí hạt nhân và tên lửa tầm xa, bất kỳ hoạt động hợp tác nào của Việt Nam với Bắc Triều Tiên trong lĩnh vực tên lửa tầm xa có thể vi phạm các lệnh trừng phạt của Liên Hiệp Quốc. Việc này có thể sẽ ảnh hưởng tới quan hệ của Việt Nam với các nước phương Tây khi mà các nước phương Tây cũng như Hàn Quốc luôn luôn đặt vấn đề rằng Việt Nam phải cố gắng duy trì và bảo đảm các lệnh trừng phạt của Liên Hiệp Quốc đối với Bắc Triều Tiên trong các cuộc gặp cấp cao. Nhưng phải nói rằng thực ra, Việt Nam lại rất hợp với vũ khí của Bắc Triều Tiên. Trong thời gian gần đây, Việt Nam mới thành lập Bộ Tư lệnh Pháo binh Tên lửa và Hà Nội mong muốn nâng cấp tầm bắn của các tên lửa Scud-B do Liên Xô sản xuất và Liên Xô đã trao cho Việt Nam rất nhiều tên lửa Scud vào giai đoạn 1980. Còn Việt Nam, kể từ sau Chiến tranh Lạnh, lại không có điều kiện để thực sự tìm được một nguồn cung dồi dào hoặc một lời khuyên để phát triển loại vũ khí này. Bắc Triều Tiên lại có một nền tảng quốc phòng rất mạnh, kể cả Liên Xô sụp đổ, họ cũng đã tự cải tiến tên lửa Scud, như chúng ta thấy là họ đã có một hệ thống tên lửa tầm xa rất phát triển, như mới đây nhất là trong lễ diễu binh có tên lửa Hỏa Tinh-20 có khả năng bắn đến Mỹ và sử dụng nhiên liệu rắn. Đọc thêmMô hình Việt Nam có thích hợp với Bắc Triều Tiên? Do đó, Việt Nam hoàn toàn có thể học hỏi kinh nghiệm từ chương trình vũ khí hoặc là về công nghiệp quốc phòng nói chung của Bắc Triều Tiên. Nhưng như tôi đã đề cập ở trên, Việt Nam vẫn phải chú ý rất kỹ đến lệnh trừng phạt của Liên Hiệp Quốc. Đây mới chỉ là một ý định thư chưa chưa phải là một thỏa thuận hợp tác quốc phòng rõ ràng giữa hai nước. RFI : Tổng bí thư Tô Lâm trước đó đã công du Seoul. Việt Nam được cho là mua pháo K9 Thunder của Hàn Quốc. Và bây giờ là chuyến công du Bình Nhưỡng. Những hoạt động này có ý nghĩa như thế nào ? Vũ Xuân Khang : Chuyến thăm đến Triều Tiên của tổng bí thư Tô Lâm gần như là ngay sau chuyến thăm Hàn Quốc hồi tháng 08, đây là một lời khẳng định rõ ràng về đường lối ngoại giao đa phương hóa, đa dạng hóa của Việt Nam trong tương lai cũng như hiện tại và Việt Nam sẵn sàng làm bạn với tất cả nước và mong làm cầu nối giữa các bên. Đặc biệt chuyến thăm Bắc Triều Tiên lần này còn có tiềm năng lớn với Việt Nam trong hoàn cảnh chủ tịch Bắc Triều Tiên Kim Jong Un và tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump đều để ngỏ khả năng gặp mặt trong trường hợp hai bên đồng ý về một thỏa thuận hạt nhân. Đọc thêmVũ khí: Hàn Quốc giúp Việt Nam giảm phụ thuộc vào Nga Việt Nam với tư cách là đối tác tin cậy của cả hai nước và là chủ nhà của thượng đỉnh Mỹ-Triều năm 2019 sẽ mong muốn lại một lần nữa được thể hiện vai trò, cầu nối, trung gian hòa giải và đóng góp vào xây dựng hòa bình trên bán đảo Triều Tiên. Trong các tuyên bố với cả phía Bắc Triều Tiên và Hàn Quốc, Việt Nam đều nhấn mạnh rất rõ là mong muốn hai miền Triều Tiên tiếp tục đối thoại và hợp tác với nhau và Việt Nam cũng đề cập vai trò của mình trong việc ủng hộ bảo vệ an ninh khu vực. Đặc biệt, trong chuyến thăm Hàn Quốc của tổng bí thư Tô Lâm, Việt Nam cũng đề cập rất rõ là ủng hộ chính sách hòa giải liên Triều của tổng thống Hàn Quốc Lee Jae Myung. Điều này thể hiện Việt Nam mong muốn được tiếp tục làm cầu nối giữa hai miền. Việc Bắc Triều Tiên vẫn gửi lời mời tổng bí thư Tô Lâm sau khi Việt Nam ký kết mua pháo K9 Thunder của Hàn Quốc cho thấy Bình Nhưỡng coi trọng vai trò trung gian hòa giải, cũng như đường lối đối ngoại độc lập tự chủ của Việt Nam.

He Rose, Ascended, Is Seated, and Will ComeActs 1:1-11Message SlidesOn the third day He rose againHe ascended into heavenHe is seated at the right hand of the FatherAnd He will come to judge the living and the deadHOME CHURCH QUESTIONS1. The previous section of the creed talked about Jesus' suffering and death. This current section talks about His resurrection and the events that followed. What are some of the consequences if Jesus had not risen from the grave? How much of an impact does Jesus' resurrection have in your daily life? 2. We talked about the two states of Christ: humiliation and exaltation. His humiliation involves four steps down: incarnation, suffering, death, and burial. His exaltation involves four steps up: resurrection, ascension, session, and return. Which of these do you tend to think about most/least? Explain why. Which of these should you give more time and attention to? 3. Acts 1:3 says Jesus presented himself alive “by many proofs.” What are some examples of the proofs (you could look at some of the proofs in Luke 24)? What are some lessons we learn from these proofs? For example, why is it significant he ate fish? Or why is it significant he explained the Scriptures? 4. We said it is important to keep Jesus' death and resurrection central in our thinking and in our lives. What are some examples of ways we can do this? 5. Jesus' session at the Father's right hand is an important teaching in the Bible. Do you emphasize Jesus currently sitting at the Father's right hand? Why is it significant that Jesus is at the Father's right hand? (You could refer to Acts 2:32-36 or Heb 8:1 or Rom 8:34.) What impact should this teaching have on our lives now?6. Jesus' second coming is another substantial teaching in the Bible. Do you emphasize Christ's return? Why is it significant that He will return? (You could refer to Acts 10:42 or Acts 17:31 or 2 Tim 4:8.) What impact should this teaching have on our lives now?Mission Highlight - The Khmer in CambodiaThe Khmer are Cambodia's majority people and heirs of the ancient empire seen at Angkor Wat. Most live in rural villages with little access to education, clean water, or healthcare. Their identity is rooted in Buddhism mixed with ancestor and spirit worship, and only a small minority follow Christ. Though Scripture and the JESUS Film exist in Khmer, they still need to see Christ's love through practical help and local believers sharing the gospel with their families and neighbors.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 09/29 27,682Giving For 10/05 33,185YTD Budget 484,615Giving 423,018 OVER/(UNDER) (61,597)The 2025 OCC Season Begins!Operation Christmas Child is a global project of Samaritan's Purse that shares God's love with children in need through gift-filled shoeboxes.

I'm back again this week with four more "lost cities" for you. First we'll explore the Egyptian city of Thonis-Heracleion that literally sank beneath the Mediterranean Sea and was rediscovered some 1,200 years later. Next, we'll hop over to Jordan to discover the ancient Nabataean city of Petra with it's grand facades etched into the red rock landscape. After that it's off to Cambodia to learn about the not actually lost at all Khmer city of Angkor. And finally the mountains of Peru where majestic and little understood Machu Picchu looms among the picturesque peaks. But, while it's fun to think about "lost cities," the obvious lesson of this week's episode is: be careful what you call "lost" and be careful how easily you throw out the term "discovered." These words carry weight and they've already caused a lot of damage. Let's fix that. Support the show!

Đã 50 năm trôi qua kể từ khi Khmer Đỏ do Pol Pot lãnh đạo, nắm quyền kiểm soát Campuchia vào năm 1975, sau cuộc nội chiến kéo dài 5 năm. Úc đã tiếp nhận hàng ngàn người tị nạn Campuchia, từ cuối những năm 1970 đến giữa những năm 1980. Khi SBS kỷ niệm 50 năm thành lập, một số người cho biết các chương trình bằng ngôn ngữ của đài phát thanh này, đã giúp họ cảm thấy như ở nhà tại Úc.

# Why Phnom Penh is the Best City on the Planet: https://erickimphotography.com/why-phnom-penh-is-the-greatest-city-on-the-planet/Ok, some simple thoughts and observations:First, I think I could speak well because I've literally been on like all the best cities on the planet. It's at least like 1000 times better than any other city on the planet. Why? Let me try to do a comprehensive breakdown:First, Khmer culture. Difficult to explain Khmer culture if you've never been here, but what's super interesting about Khmer culture is that it is an interesting combination of calm, peaceful, tranquil, zen. The feeling I have is everyone is really at a sense of peace, calm.  Second, the youth. I think the median age for people here is like 21 or 25 years old? Literally everybody you meet is super young in the city. Everyone is super super happy smiling all the time, extremely friendly, great at English, and also very ambitious. And it kind of makes sense, like when you go to a café or a restaurant… The whole place is run by like 18 19 20 year-olds.

Angkor Thom is one of the few carveouts in the UNESCO portfolio, or, as it were, that they don't have to do that because the trees are 400 years old, 500 years old. They've grown on top of the temple there. And basically, if they were to take the trees off, the temple would fall apart.Lesley Logan 0:32 Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Brad Crowell 1:11 All right. Welcome back Be It babes. This is Brad here. Solo episode today. Hope you like the sound of my voice, because I'm just going to be rambling a little bit about my favorite topic in the entire world, going to Cambodia to spend time with the people there and enjoy some food there and go see the majestic, wonderful temples of Angkor Wat. It is obviously something I'm incredibly passionate about. You've heard me talk about it many, many times in this pod, if you're a listener. If you are brand new, welcome, welcome. We love having you joining us here on the Be It Pod. Cambodia, everybody always asks, hey, why Cambodia? Why? Right? Well, that's definitely my fault. The reality is, my mom bought at a yard sale. She bought, like, 10 years of National Geographic magazines for, I don't know, well, I don't know, I have no idea, I was like 10 years old, or 12 years old or something. Anyway, I opened up the very first one I remember, because I'm sure I looked at a lot, but the one I remember more than any other was opening up this, like, entire spread of Angkor Wat, right? And I didn't even know how to pronounce it at the time. I was a really young kid. But what I can tell you is I was way into dinosaurs, The Jungle Book and Transformers as a child, and when I saw this 10-page spread, or the spread of Angkor Wat in Nat Geo, this was like the Jungle Book in real life to me, and I was so excited about this, the curiosity that it inspired in me literally stayed with me until Lesley asked me, like, I don't know, 20 plus years later, hey, where do we want to go for our honeymoon? And my response instantly was, we're going to Cambodia.Brad Crowell 3:05 You know, and she's like, um, really, we're going to Cambodia. Why would we do that? Can we also go to Thailand? Can we also go to Japan? And I was like, of course, let's do those other things, too. But we have to go to Cambodia. I have to see Angkor Wat. I have to see the temples and the jungle temples. And you know, since then, I've been inspired a number of other times. I'm sure you're all aware that Angelina Jolie's version of Tomb Raider was actually filmed at the temples. It was filmed at Ta Prohm temple. That's, like, a really cool temple. It's actually really close to Angkor Wat. It's like, I don't know, 10 minutes away or 15 minutes away from Angkor, and so we have had a chance to go see that one. We saw the Angkor. We saw a temple called Bayon Temple, which actually they considered the, you know, at the time, because what's so cool about the history of Cambodia was a massive empire, is called the Khmer empire, K-H-M-E-R, Khmer Empire, and it covered all of Vietnam up into Lao, Laos, you know, Lao over into Thailand. It's very influenced by India, very influenced by the Thai, and then obviously, what was considered Cambodia today. So it was this massive, massive place. And Angkor was in the middle, and there's a city there, and the city is like fortified, there's a moat around the whole thing. It's this huge city, and in the very center of that city is Bayon Temple. And so they actually consider Bayon temple the center of the universe. They consider the center tower all the way up at the top to be like this pinnacle place that had a spiritual meaning. And the amount of wonder that Angkor inspires in me keeps me going back. Brad Crowell 4:42 When Lesley and I first went in 2016, we realized when we got home we loved Thailand, we loved Japan, but there was something magical about Cambodia that made us go, how do we go back? How do we go back? And that was the beginning of trying to figure that out. We try to figure out, how do we go? What do we need to do to get back there? Initially, we were like, hey, let's ask all of our friends and they'll come with us. This is gonna be super cool. And they were like, yeah, we're interested. But it never came to fruition, right? It was like, oh, yeah, maybe, we're not sure. Couldn't get anybody to actually commit. Lesley went back to her clients and said, is this ever been on anybody's bucket list going to Angkor? We are thinking about hosting a retreat there. And literally, like a dozen of her clients were like, yes, we're in, absolutely, let's do it. And we figured out a window of time that would work for everyone, and we gave ourselves roughly a year to put it all together, because we didn't know anybody. We had one contact there, and that was our tour guide. And so he was super generous. He was just a really helpful connector. And he helped guide us through figuring out, like, who should we talk to for hosting the retreat? And, you know, just all the things, any kind of question. And it was just lovely to have him. So a big shout out to Stephane De Greef and a big thank you to him. Eventually, when he decided to leave Cambodia and move over to Panama and then wherever he's at now, he contacted me and said, hey, man, I'm leaving, but let me introduce you to everybody that I know. And he did. He opened his Rolodex and just introduced us to all these different people there. And it was incredible. Brad Crowell 6:16 So we had the chance to go back in 2017 for our very first trip with Lesley's clients, and we rented a yoga shala. And the shala was really, really awesome. The people were really lovely. And so we decided to rent it again, and we run another group, and we rented a third time, and the third time, the experience just didn't work. It wasn't what we wanted. And it was actually frustrating, because when Lesley and I turned to ourselves and we were like, hey, maybe we should go get a hotel from our own retreat, we were like, yeah, we can't do this anymore. We got to find a better solution. And that's when we decided to go get our own place, right? And so now we'd been there four times at this point, and we just had a bunch of people that we knew. We reached out to them and said, hey, we're looking for a spot. How do we do this? And they helped connect the dots and help us get going. And basically it turned into this hunt for the right spot, the right place for us to take over and turn into ours. And in 2018 that happened, and it was so exciting. I remember flying back, it was really quick too, like, we got this message from our real estate person. They were like, hey, I think I actually found the right spot. And they gave us all these reasons why, and they really understood our mission and our vision. They really understood what we were trying to do. And they said, we actually like the people that you would be working with to do this, because we're not Cambodian. We can't actually own the land. We're not allowed. We're not a citizen, so we have to have a relationship with people who do own the land there, and they're literally our land lord, and we pay them as if it's like a lease, but we own all the things on it. We own a business there. We have a team there, all that stuff. And so he said, I actually think these people are going to be amazing, and they encourage people coming to visit Cambodia, and they care about it, and they're passionate about it, and so they're right. It was amazing. We met them. They were incredibly gracious and lovely, and we've had, at this point, many, many, many years of building a relationship with them. They're just awesome people, and we absolutely lucked out in that regard. And what we did is we took over this property that has a 12 bedroom apartment complex on it, and allowed us to begin to have our own place to bring you know, people from all around the world to come visit and have a safe, secure, clean, fun place. It's also quiet. We're right off the beaten path. We're like 10 minutes walk from the chaos of Pub Street and wow, like all the loud, but we're far enough away that you don't hear it. We're close enough to walk, but far enough away that it doesn't actually impact you. So it's so awesome. From the place we're like, maybe, oh, I don't know, 15 minutes drive to the Temple of Angkor Wat, which is the largest religious structure in the world. It is still functioning today. They absolutely use it for religious ceremonies and stuff. There's a mix of Hinduism and Buddhism in the way that, it's primarily Buddhist today. You know, you can still find other religions there. There's some Christianity, there's some Muslim faiths there. Primarily it's Buddhist, but the history of the country is a mash up of Hinduism and Buddhism because of war, right? It would be like invaded and then, you know, taken over and taken back and back and forth and all this stuff. And so consequently, there's actually a lot of history that was destroyed by the invading army. They'd come in and break all the statues, and then, you know, the other they build theirs. And then these guys would come back, and it would go back and forth over the centuries that that kind of thing happened. And what's so amazing is all of that is still there. It is available to be seen. It is just the most mind-bending thing when you get there and you're like, this is a thousand years old. This statue that I'm looking at here, they carved this. How did they do this? How did they move the stone? How did they even get this here? Like, how did they think this stuff up? Is it is so mind-blowing to me, because it's exactly in line with the stars and meridian lines and longitude and latitude, the amount of science and thought and understanding of architecture and structural integrity and the building materials and the process of doing it, it is so incredibly thought through and advanced. And then the art itself, the carvings, the planning, how could they have thousands of meters of wall? And it's not a repeat carving anywhere in the entire thing. It's all unique. Every single person in that that's carved into the wall is like, different from the person next to it. You know, it's amazing. It's just incredible. And they spent, I don't know, I think it was a couple decades to build Angkor Wat, like 30 plus years or something. But every time I go, I see something new. Every single time I go, I see something new. Brad Crowell 10:43 And so when we go, what we love to do is take our guests through the temples in a way that you would not normally go if you were to just show up and hire a typical tour guide, tuk guide kind of a thing. You'll see the big three, you know, you'll go to the city of Angkor Thom. You'll actually go to Angkor Wat, of course, which is the temple itself. You'll go to Bayon Temple, usually, and maybe one other place. So whatever one they'll probably take you to the jungle temple Ta Prohm, like I was saying that Angelina Jolie filmed at because that's a really mysterious temple as well, with this epic trees that have grown over top of the temple. In fact, Angkor Thom is really cool because this is a UNESCO heritage site now. And normally, if it's a UNESCO heritage site, they are required to, slowly, over time, rebuild the whatever the structure is to be as if it was the original structure, right? Angkor Thom is one of the few carve-outs in the UNESCO portfolio, as it were, that they don't have to do that, because the trees are 400 years old, 500 years old, they've grown on top of the temple there. And basically, if they were to take the trees off, the temple would fall apart. And so they got this exception to keep the everything as it is right now. And that makes it even more cool. I mean, it's just, it's so amazing. So when everybody arrives on Sunday night, we we just hang out. We do like class, we get some food, we usually go get a massage, and then the next morning, we get up and we have class, and then we have the morning off, because after lunch, we all hop on our tour bus and we go see a series of temples. We go to the south gate at Angkor Thom, we go see a pagoda. A pagoda is like a place of worship for monks today, it's kind of like a church, but it's usually open air, open-walled, right? So it's just like a covered building, generally. Sometimes they're, they've got walls and everything, too. But these pagodas that are inside of Angkor Thom are open-aired. And so we go see this pagoda, and there's like monks actually practicing there. And it's really neat to see the community still lives there, and they still do life there, right? So, and then we go in to Bayon Temple, and we go, from there, we might be able to go up to see Angkor or the elephant terrace, which is this like place where the king today still will go up to Angkor and you know, he will have a big ceremony once a year there. The royal family goes there. And then from there, we'll go to the north gate, and we'll see the different gates that they have. And they're all unique. They're all, you know, the similar concept, but they're all unique. And of course, the vegetation, the trees are different, the views are different, all that. Then we'll go out the east gate, and we'll go over and see Ta Prohm, right? Along the way, we'll stop at another place, Chau Say Tevoda, which is a smaller temple that was like, considered a library. There were twin temples there. So there's one on one side of the road, one on the other, the one is in way better shape than the the other side. So we always go to the one that actually is, like in repair. You know, maybe we walk through the jungle a little bit there. And, you know, there's, like, usually there's monkeys, which are not your friend, but they're usually there, too. We get a chance to go through and peek into the past. That is just mind-blowing. And my favorite part of going to Cambodia, well, one of my favorite parts, to be honest, because I really can't pick, is being able to go explore these temples. And there's just something that is so otherworldly about it, because you don't see this in the United States, right? You don't find this stuff, probably not even up in Canada. You might see something comparable in Europe, but it's different, right? The massive cathedrals in Europe could be like, 1000 years old too, but it's not the same as it being like, overtaken by the jungle and then carved out after they re-, quote-unquote, rediscovered it in the, you know, 1860s basically, a French guy discovered it in the 1860s again and brought it back to light in western civilization. And then the French actually occupied Cambodia for like, 100 years. And it wasn't until 1960s that Cambodia became Cambodia. Before that, it was an occupied territory of from the French, and it got its independence in the 60s. Brad Crowell 14:45 The second thing that is just amazing is the food. In Cambodia, they don't cook with milk or dairy products. There's no cheese. It's not standard. They also are generally light on the sauces, right? It's not like Thai food. Where everything has its own sauce, and it's half sauce and half whatever the dish is. It's different than that. They make a lot of curries, like I mentioned, it is, you know, a lot of influence from India and Thailand. There are a lot of noodle dishes, but there's a lot of rice dishes, and it's generally really clean eating, right? So if it's a rice dish, it's rice with a small side salad and then a little bit of prepared meat. Their quote-unquote sauce might be like salt and pepper mix, right? It's not sloshed with all this stuff. And so it's really great food. And it just, it's clean, easy, it's always farm to table, because they don't really have the big processing system that we do in the United States. So everything just tastes so good. I love it. And what we do, we get to work with, this is super special, when we moved there, there was this organization, it's an NGO, or a non-government organization that was started by somebody in the United States. They went there and they had a passion for Cambodia, and they said, hey, we could help. We could affect change by creating, effectively, a vo-tech school, right? So what they did is they would raise money, and then they would go into the countryside, and they would sponsor these kids who were really poor, who could not afford to educate themselves. And they said, hey, if you want to, we will give you a full ride, a full scholarship to our school. You'll stay on campus. You'll learn how to work in the service industry. So we'll teach you how to be a chef. We'll teach you how to be a pastry chef. We'll teach you how to be a barista or a server or a bartender or a manager or whatever. And so it's all surrounding the service industry. And then after the end of the program, after these kids go through the program, which I don't remember how long, it could be a couple years, because they also have, like, regular classes, and there's a dormitory and all this stuff. When they graduate, they actually will help them get a job placement. So they might move down to the big city in Phnom Penh and they go to a fancy hotel there, or maybe they stay relatively local in Siem Reap or maybe they go abroad, I don't know, but the school helps them get placed for a job. And this organization is called Spoons. Well, it's called Spoons today. I can't remember what it was called prior, because unfortunately, during COVID, all the money dried up and all the support dried up, and it wasn't available for them. And unfortunately, the American support basically said, hey, we got to close the doors. We don't have any way to keep this going. And the locals, the team that they have built, the Cambodians, some of them were graduates themselves, then helping to run the school, said, hey, this is an amazing thing that's really helping people here. We want to keep this going. And so they went locally, and they found a couple of really generous donors to effectively step in on the financial side to help support the school. And they were able to keep the doors open. And Lesley and I were there in like 2020 and things were still operating like normal when we were there in March of 2020 but then we were gone for two years. We weren't back until 2022 so when we finally got back in 2022 we went over there and we were talking to them, and they said, somehow we made it through. It's been crazy, but we were able to keep the doors open. And this year, we are sponsoring 20 students. This is the first time that we've ever operated as a company, as an organization, without any outside support. It's all like done locally. It's now run by and owned by Cambodians. They call themselves the Khmer people, run by khmer, and they were really proud of that, because they were able to keep this institution that had been put into place operating. And then the next year they had like 50 students. And then this past year, we were there, you know, we were just there in February of 2025, now, and they have like 78 students. And we're so pleased to be able to work with them, because we have them deliver our meals during the week. And then on the final day of the trip, we actually all go over to the restaurant, to Spoons, and they serve us. The students are working at the restaurant. So, you know, there's the head chef is a graduate, or the manager is a graduate, and they're making sure the wheels stay on the bus, but the barista, the servers, the bussers, all the food prep, all that stuff, is done by the students themselves. And it gives us so much joy to be able to support that organization. And the food they make is amazing. It's so good.

Surrounded on every side by peaceful waters, Ankor Wat rises from the jungle as the crown jewel of the ancient Khmer capital city of Angkor. Sitting on 402 acres of land, it is considered the largest religious structure in the world by Guinness World Records. Angkor Wat is a unique combination of the temple mountain and the later plan of concentric galleries. The construction of Angkor Wat suggests that there was a celestial significance with certain features of the temple. This is observed in the temple's east–west orientation, and lines of sight from terraces within the temple that show specific towers to be at the precise location of the solstice at sunrise. The temple's main tower aligns with the morning sun of the spring equinox. The temple is a representation of Mount Meru, the home of the gods according to Hindu mythology: the central quincunx of towers symbolise the five peaks of the mountain, and the walls and moat symbolize the surrounding mountain ranges and ocean. The mainstream history narrative tells us that Ankor Wat was originally constructed circa 1150 AD by the Khmer king Suryavarman II who ruled 1113-1150 AD) in the early 12th century. But is there more to Ankor Wat than we've been led to believe? In this episode I sit down with researcher and explorer Cassie Martin who just returned from an expedition in Cambodia exploring Ankor Wat and the many temples of Cambodia. Using Power Point presentation, Cassie will guide us through many examples of out-of-place-artifacts, LIDAR scan and architectural styles that seem to point to an older history at Ankor Wat and the surrounding temples... Did Khmer king Suryavarman II reclaim and build upon an ruins from an earlier epoch?JOIN US ON AN UPCOMING TOUR
802 - 1431 - The modern Cambodian flag contains a picture of Angkor Wat, an eyecatching religious temple constructed by the Khmer, and the pride of Cambodian history. The religious construction was symbolic of the key fundamental priorities of Khmer rulers, ruling over this dominant South East Asian political movement.
In the 9th century AD, two years after the Holy Roman Empire was established in Western Christendom, another world-shaking empire was rising in the east, more powerful even than that of Charlemagne and far wealthier. Born in what is today Northern Cambodia but long before the horrors of the Khmer Rouge, the mighty Khmer empire dominated most of mainland Southeast Asia, stretching as far north as southern China, and far outsizing the Byzantine empire and its peak. In 802 a mighty warrior king, Jayavarman II, united the warring clans, made dynastic alliances and conquered his way to supremacy. His descendants would become God Kings…Meanwhile, in the famed city of Angkor, the divine kings of the Khmers built a temple of such epic proportions and complexity, such beauty, that its fame - like the temple itself - would endure across the ages: Angkor Wat. But what is the truth of Angkor Wat's origins? And how much does it owe to the example of India? Join William and Anita as they discuss the extraordinary Khmer empire and the divine kings who raised her, illuminating as they do, one of the greatest lost history's in all the world.
