It is not clear whether
these scenes
from the historical sea
battle between the Khmer
and the
Cham, depicted on the
southern wall of the
Bayon temple, represent
the Cham invasion of
1177 or the 1181 battle
in which the Khmer under
Jayavarman
VII (fig.)
were victorious and
expelled the Cham from
their empire.
