Selamat datang ke Muzium Kebangsaan Cambodia

Welcome to National Museum of Cambodia.

Ia menempatkan banyak artifak sejarah yang membentuk sejarah Cambodia sejak seawal 2,000 tahun lalu.

It houses many historical artifacts which shaped the history of Cambodia since as early as 2,000 years ago.

Secara rata sejarah Cambodia boleh dibahagi kepada tiga bahagian :-

1. Zaman sebelum Angkor

2. Zaman Angkor

3. Zaman selepas Angkor

All in all the history of Cambodia could be divided into three sections.

1. Pre-Angkor period.

2. Angkor period.

3. Post Angkor period.

 

Zaman Angkor merujuk kepada kerajaan Angkor atau Empayar Khmer yang pernah berpusat di sekitar Angkor Wat abad 9-13 Masihi.

The Angkorian period refers to the time the kingdom of Angkor or the Khmer empire was still centred around the Angkor Wat 9-13th century AD.

Zaman sebelum Angkor termasuk tempoh masa ketika empayar lama Funan masih berdiri megah abad 1-6 Masihi kemudian dikuasai kerajaan Chenla 6-8 Masihi.

The pre-Angkorian period refers to a time frame when the old empire of Funan still stood proudly in 1-6 century AD then overpowered by the kingdom of Chenla 6-8 Masihi.

Zaman selepas Angkor bermula abad ke-14 Masihi apabila kerajaan Ayuthia dari belah barat (Thailand sekarang) mengalahkan Angkor lalu mengambil wilayah-wilayahnya. Saki baki keturunan istana Angkor bergerak ke arah timur menghampiri Phnom Penh  lalu mendirikan kerajaan yang bakal membentuk Cambodia sekarang.

The post Angkorian-period started in the 14th century AD when the kingdom of Ayuthia from the western side (current Thailand) defeated Angkor and took its provinces. What remains of the Angkorian palace descendants moved toward the east approaching current Phom Penh and built a kingdom which would form the current Cambodia.
