Khmer recorded time is a measurement known as "saka". For example,
inscriptions indicate that the king who constructed Angkor Wat was
installed as king in 1035 saka. This translates into A.D. 1113. There
are a series of dates inscribed in the third gallery that cluster
around this date when the king took the thrown. It is likely that the
king was born on 1021 saka (A.D. 1099). He would have been around 17 or
28 years of age in 1048 saka (A.D. 1126), and 31 or 32 in A.D. 1131, a
date recorded at Angkor Wat.</font></div> <div><font size="2"><a href="http://www.mc.maricopa.edu/dept/d10/asb/anthro2003/archy/angkor/suryavarmanll.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
