Yeah, located on the former site of the S21 prison in Phomn Penh. I forget if the skulls came from the yard or the killing field located a few kilometers away.

I went to Tuol Sleng last year and somehow missed this specific piece. :stonk:

Admittedly, it's pretty tough emotionally to see all the horrors in that museum.

Edit: For some content, here is a picture of Khmer Krom, sometimes known in the west as Cochinchina.



Over a million ethnic Khmer still live in the area, which was conquered from the Khmer Empire by the Vietnamese during the 18th century. Unsurprisingly, there are still some revanchist Cambodians who want to take the area back. The Khmer Krom are recognized by the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization.

The Cham, whom someone mentioned, lived north of this area, roughly from Da Nang down to Nha Trang as shown in the map above.

I missed that, I thought they were the real cities. That part is actually interesting, too bad the labels are barely legible even when enlarged. Like, Loredo has the same climate as New Delhi? That's surprising to me, if it's accurate.

What the hell is the point of adding "Mongolia" and "Taiwan" instead of lumping both under Russia and China? It's not like either of those countries has a climate that isn't already in Russia or PRC. It looks like the map maker started to go to some effort, and then was like "gently caress, so much map left to color, let's just fill out the rest with large countries. Bam Japan Russia China India done."

drat that is a lot of Aboriginal languages. It'd be cool if they colored them based on mutual intelligibility, but that probably requires more knowledge about the languages than almost anyone has.

Also was the continent really that populated by Aborigines (re: lower map)? I would have expected far more 'empty zones', like the first map but maybe even more so. It looks like they tried to just make sure the second map was 100% dense though. It's also weird that they don't have any overlaps in either maps, which also doesn't seem very accurate.

Also "Murrinh Nangikurrnunggurr" sounds like someone's cat was walking across the keyboard (top, center-left). (E: and if you think that's a ethnocentric / language-centric thing to say, then you've obviously never had a cat walk across your keyboard.)
