Many Cambodians believe that Angkor Wat was built by giant aliens from another planet . Not that I have any direct evidence against this but it does seem a bit far fetched .

Rubbish excuse for one patethic reply.

Yet there somehow is a gap in the modern-era. Explain this.

Among the finds are the wheel, and the wooden barrel.

Wrong. DNA analysis show a huge frequency of mtDNA matches of regions between the andamans, polynesian, to the caucasus region of the himalayas. With emphasis on the polynesian amongst the earlier traces of mtDNA.

Why would you speculate that these people would have no language written or oral when there is evidence to the contrary?

I am not speculating. You are.

Well anyway it occured to me are drifting way off topic here.
As for in comparison to general european culture I can surely say this: Both country and continent had massive turmoil in the immediate post-war era.

Luckily for both the good guys won through. At the end of 1945 there where neither Soviet or Axis aggression to be found anywhere. Everyone was tired of the war but still on their edges and toes about the aftermath and what was possibly to come. I mean no-one at the time knew that we actually would see nearly a century of peace and probably more of that, insofar as a millennia to come.

Yet in the uncertainty and turmoil that was to follow there has seem to come to a standstill here, while the mainland has moved along and continued going on forward. There is undeniably a discrepancy in existance that can neither be explained by political, geo-economical, or for cultural reasons. I wonder why that is.

Hah! You draw out a good point sklmeera.
Certainly not a place to be abandoned on a whim. I regret not having seen it in person As it is the most famous of all landmarks in the region, yet the last on my list of destinations.
I think the Khmer certainly built it. Hah, aliens. That's a good one.
