Buddhist ceremonies in old Cambodia in 1907 

Thanks for the info. I have changed the title of the clip likewise. I always appreciate responses from viewers.

Cambodia is original Khmer :) We are Khmer People, and our country named Cambodia :)

Although Cambodian music is more like Gongs (Roneat, Gamelan) and flutes, this is kind of an interesting fusion between aboriginal music and Buddhist culture. So intriguing! Thanks for sharing!

This film is about ordination of a Buddhist Monk. Thanks for sharing Mr. Rogge. Greatly Appreciated.

Thanks for the most precious of the Khmer Era videos.

Un très grand merci monsieur Rogge pour ce précieux document...

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much for your sharing a valuable video.

The old,peaceful days of the Khmer society,appeared joyful,tranquil and worried less of any outside threat. However,this twentieth first century so-called society,everything is upside down....so sad...

thank u for this video

I'm so glad to see this.

My grandpa and grandma were dark just like these guys.

Awesome!

This is wonderful. I love the music @ 2:06 & @ 2:48; sounds different from the Cambodian / Khmer sounds that I usually hear.

Thank you for sharing these historical firm with us of Khmer monk cerremony.

Beautiful country, I have lived in Phnom Penh for two years, still missing this place, always wishing to visit again. Bless to the people there.

Tq for the video

Love my country cambodia ❤🇰🇭

Nice. Thanks.

Amazing

Wow.. thx for sharing..

Thank so much for this video do you have another video Mr

I love Cambodia 🇰🇭

Greetings from Kathmandu, Nepal.

Very beautiful. May I ask for the name of the temple and which province is it?

Yes. At least the normal people in parade looks Cambodian, dresses in Cambodian style and has that Cambodian trademark drum. Not to mention, the temple looks Cambodian style too. I would guess this would be South Vietnam, in Mekong Delta. Or Surin in Thailand.

I can't believe this was supposedly taken in 1907. The buildings look spectacular and very much the same as buildings there do today. I would have thought in 1907 buildings in Cambodia were all thatched huts but evidently not. Looks like Cambodia was a lot more advanced in 1907 than a lot of people think.

Very beautiful, our khmers people

Million and million thanks for sharing the Cambodia 🇰🇭/Khmer history.

This is a very interesting film, and thanks for putting it up. However, it certainly isn't the Pathé 1907 film, Moeurs cambodgiennes - the description of that film in the Pathe catalogue is quite different. There's also a contradiction with the date you give just below the film, i.e. 1910. Where did you come across the film, and what happens at the end - was there more to it?

This is a rare footage

thanks you🎉🎉🎉

great, i never saw this.

I miss Cambodia

Many Cambodians in America are lost 😔 All Cambodians should visit their motherland at least once..

Yes, it is Khmer traditional blouse.

Amazing! Where did you find this video?

No. The colours were added by means of a hand-operated stencil process by Pathé more than a hundred years ago.

Great

so nice indeed. rgs

I love this vdo

@jkesz Thanks.

ពិរោះណាស់

It is really from 1907? Because colour movies were not yet available before 1920. Only colour photography but that was an extremely work intensive technology in those days. I assume, this movie is digitally remastered with colour.

To anyone who claims these people look African, they don't even look remotely African to me. They are simply dark skinned Khmers. They look pretty much like most Khmers do today (except for the small percentage of lighter skinned elite Khmers of Vietnamese or Chinese admixture).

😊🙏💓💐👍😍

wow

It was taken in Cambodia. 1) Khmer temple style is different from Thai (bigger style), 2). Some women this video are wearing long rim shirts and it is only Khmer style. I agree that Khmer and Thai dresses look almost the same.

Können Sie sagen wo das war? Schöne Grüße von Sakhoeun aus Siem Reap, Kambodscha

we call this event Bombuosnek naga ceremony to be the monk in budhism!

looks more Cambodian..!

อนุโมทนา ภาพเก่าหาดูยากท่ากราบพระดูเหมือนพระมอญพระพม่านะ

We should be lucky to be able to watch this video, but not to blame or go into political background. Siem Reap, as I still remembered, that my grand father came from with all the people, whom were as his servants. He setup in Chaktomuk rivers and married to a local women. Please stop blaming : To the Khmer Rouge story: The people used the Khmer Rouge for their own interests, whenever it come to the conclusion. These people never talk, they were fleeing the country, because of the Vietnamese invasion and occupation. The Khmer Rouge did not exist anymore, when these people had the chance to flee. Without the Khmer Rouge, many of them, whom immigrated to the luxury western world might still struggling in the jungle of our country. l have to inform you, I have nothing to do with any regimes, who brought the Vietnam war into Cambodia. I left the country before 1970, but still remembered, the time after the coup d'Etat 1970 from my yearly 2 weeks vacation in Cambodia, that the country was not anymore the same as before. I don't blame General Lon Nol, or other Khmer leaders, but I strongly blame the foreigners, who make the profit from our beloved country and our people, because in their mind, the Khmer are the people too primitive and were not able to survive from the two Khmer people rivalities, Thai and Youn. I live most of my life in Europe, but am now very proud to be a primitive Khmer, then before.

I'm a Southeast Asian and I think this was likely not the ceremony of installing a new abbot. It looks more like the ordaining ceremony of a new monk (or novice).

ohh!! I saw my great grandfather...haha

You are right. Look similar or can say that almost the same (little different).

1907 color film ?

This is an ordination ceremony into a Theravada buddhist monastery.

I love cambodain

i am so sorry that i just post the wrong information down of this comment ,i just want to post to another story ( about SIAM SOCIETY) and sorry again for th confusion.

Where is this temple?

Not in 1907, oldest color motion film audio record is around 1930s. This movie audio is fake, soundbite like India then Khmer traditional music

🙏🙏🙏🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭

ล้ำค่า คนไทยทุกคนควรดู

I was born in Siam.

Cambodia people in 1907 is very tall

We are in Cambodia , south east Asia not Africa as u said

I wonder what happened to that monk in later life.

Would you make video ancient Montagnard indigenous Central highland and indigenous northeast Cambodia please.
