Recent claim of Mr. Tetsuo Hoshino that Funan or Nokor Phnom was just a colonized Empire under India was rejected - this claim is not coincided to the historical accounts of historical linguistics and ethnology.However, the claim of Funan being under colonization of India is not logical to the extend of in-dept analysis of the establishment of the first Khmer empire, influenced by India.In fact, the word Funan has no meaning at all in Chinese language - this word was derived from Khmer-Môn language (Phnom/Vnam) which happen to coincidently pronoun in Chinese language.

In the ancient century Indian people has been doing the business with such as Cambodia, Malaysia and Indonesia. During that time, Indian has used the big ship to make the business with Khmer people along the sea through the international ports in Asia too.To be making sure on Pali texts like the Nidesa and the Malinda Banha and be suspicious with any problems we know that we have the ports such as Kemara Poduke and Tamralipti,ect has been completed with their duty very active.

The ancestors of man lived about 4 million years ago in Africa and were walking on two legs. They began using stone weapons around 2.8 million years ago, the oldest stone tools having been found in Ethiopia. In the Indochinese peninsula which is the birth place of Mon-Khmer ethnics, stone tools were used between 1 million years (Lampang, Thailand) to the Metal Age around 1500-1000 B.C.The length of time is determined by the (K40/Ar40)formula. Through the research, we can date the stone industry in Kampuchea Krom from about 560.000 to 650.000 years. In today’s Cambodia, the stone industry, located in Kratie and Stieng Treng province dates from between 510.000 and 690.000 B.C. These prehistoric testimonies demonstrate the ancientness of the Khmer culture long before the Kingdom of Phnom in the early 1st century, in the period of indianization.

From 1966-1968, Mr. and Mrs. Mourer and the students from Faculties of Archeology burrowed Laang Spean, a cave located in Kilometi 38 village, Taktrieng commune, Rattanak Mondul district, Battambang province. Leroi Gourhan’s theories were carried out so that such above excavation could become scientific. More importantly, this above prehistoric site, has a depth of 1.4 meters, and as nine strata.

The carbon remainder of the upper strata in the above prehistoric site was analyzed so that we would know the dates of the following: The ceramics in the first level are 750 A.D; the third level, 2050 A.D; the fourth level, 4290 A.D. It was when Cambodia experienced the war that the late scientific excavation was carried out in 1969. The Hoa Binh Site-like stone industry was found in North Vietnam, and the rhinoceros bones were found amongst the other animal bones; particularly, the 3000 BC ceramic. Thus, it was evident that Cambodian utilized these ceramics 5000 years ago.

In Kauk Kham Village, Sangkeak District of Surin province having a lot of Khmer tower temple in every occasions and people can not estimate that this Surin province having people live there since the ceramic period.

The Phnong as well as the Moi in Anam are tribal people. They solve problems with traditional approaches- verbalizing or memorizing. Religiously, they just hold a rough animistic belief that varies from tribe to tribe.
