The Killing Fields

If one were to visit Cambodia one should know a little history on how a wealthy family had turn into such a wretched one as it is today. One of the biggest contributor would be none ather than Pol Put, the leader of the Khmer Rouge which cause a genocide resulting in at least 800,950 many deaths. This Killing Field is the largest execution ground. In Cambodian it is called 'Pray Ait'. It is called so because 'Ait' means crow in Cambodian language and folklore says that if a crow lands on someone's house, death will take place in that house. So they call it Pray Ait or a place where many crows gathers. This picture above is an example of many graves there. Some are babies, some are headless while some are naked women.

This tree here is also a 'sports' tree. A tree where the Khmer Rouge army play their games. The games itself, of course, is not ordinary not to say inhuman. For example hanging their victim's upside down until they die, or holding the legs of a child and smash their skulls on the tree

The skulls which are dug up. There are in fact many. It is placed here because it can't be recognized anymore, like, which head belong to which body. And they are real of course

Its all stacked up pile by pile and if you see behind me you'll noticed how much, you can't use many here, skulls are there. There are other limbs of course but I am not going post it. It is a regulation not to laugh or speak loudly here. And its better be followed. Its not really a good place to visit for those who are not strong enough spiritually. When I come here, I just don't feel good. If this cruelty and injustice is not enough, I'm gontinuing next on Hall of Sins where tonned of tortures are being conducted from face scraping to brain drilling
