*The ancient Khmer arts,carving stones are around the world.
The evil people stole and sold
to foreign people.
There are a lot of carving stones,
and Khmer arts in Vietnam(Hanoi),
Thailand(plenty of them),and Lao.
These three countries were/are
Khmer looters.

*បុរាណវិចិត្រសីល្បៈខ្មែរ​ រូបថ្មចម្លាក់ ថ្មចម្លាក់
នៅពាសពេញពិភពលោក។
ជនពាលបានលួច និង លក់ឲ្យជនបរទេស។
មានវិចិត្រសំណាកស្ពាន់បុរាណខ្មែរ ថ្មចម្លាក់
នៅប្រទេសយួន(ក្រុងហាណូយ សារមន្ទីរបារាំង)
ប្រទេសថៃមានច្រើនលើសលប់ និង​ នៅលាវ។
ប្រទេសទាំងបីនេះជាចោរលួចប្លន់វត្ថុបុរាណខ្មែរ។
*Des ancient arts du Cambodge et des grés sculptures sont
tout autour du monde.
Les mauvaise personnes avaient volé et vendu pour les étrangers.

Il y en a beaucoup en Vietnam(Hanoi
Musée Française),très beaucoup en thailande,et laos.
Tous les trois pays étaient des voleurs du Cambodge.
