Lets talk about Southeast Asia and its history.
I mean, It has to be interesting seeing how the area is the worlds largest melting pot of culture, religion, ideology and politics from china and India, the Middle East and in the later years Europe.

>limited contact relatively advanced civilizations (Chinese, Japanese, Mainland SEA empires)
>numerous linguistic, cultural (and with the arrival of islamic missionaries) religious differences
No surprise that nothing really notable happened on the islands which are now referred to as the Philippines.

>Infanticide rates were enormous in New Guinea, with the first missionaries estimating that two-thirds of the children were murdered by their parents. As in other tribal cultures, abstinence and abortion were well known, but infanticide was mainly what was the practice, so growing children were routinely traumatized while they watched their mothers strangle or otherwise murder their siblings. Margaret Mead said of her tribe “they are always throwing away infants here” and not because of lack of resources to feed them. When tribal mothers were asked why they killed their infants, they stated it was because they were “demon children,” because “children are too much trouble,” because “it was a girl and must be killed,” or “because her husband would go to another woman” for sex if she had to nurse the infant. Children watched their mothers bury their siblings live, eat them, or toss them to sows to devour—or else they would force the grown-up children to help them kill their siblings or even sometimes make them kill live infants purchased for murdering from other tribes. Mothers who ate their children are described as “overcome by frightful hunger for baby meat”—again, not because of lack of food, but because of an inner need to re-incorporate infants after losing them at birth. New Guinea infanticide rates are similar to the 50 percent rates estimated for small-scale societies around the world today.18 Some tribes kill so many newborn that they regularly have to buy children from neighboring tribes so their tribe won’t disappear.The children who watched their mothers killing or eating babies “suddenly avoided their parents, shrieked in their presence, or expressed unusual fear of them…recounting dreams about animal-man beings with the faces of parents smeared with blood.”

>Females in New Guinea are treated brutally. Since they are routinely viewed as secretly being witches “who can kill simply by staring at a person” (Killer Mother alters), they are often killed simply because they are imagined to have poisoned people. Mothers in New Guinea are horribly abused as girls, being routinely raped by fathers, brothers, visitors, peers, gangs. When they become wives they are treated brutally by men and have suicide rates as high as percent. Mothers are therefore post-partum depressed, and they use their children for sexual stimulation—repeating their own abuse—and then abandoning them emotionally, so they vary between masturbating them and hanging them up in a bag on a tree all day long. Since the men routinely beat up their wives, there is no evidence of spousal intimate love, so mothers are continuously in despair; if they are not forcibly breast-feeding their babies or masturbating them, sucking on their penises, the baby is useless to them as erotic objects and not fed regularly. Small children are routinely allowed to play with sharp knives and burning objects without adults paying any attention to them. Mothers hate themselves and consider themselves “bad” for having been raped as young girls and for having to endure loveless polygamous marriages. Maternal “mirroring” is lacking, so children do not become secure with others and do not develop an independent self. Children even recently are 90 percent malnourished in New Guinea, studies show, even when food is plentiful, because mothers only feed them a couple of times a day, and they die from starvation while the mothers are puzzled what is wrong with them.

>The mothers’ force-feeding during erotic nursing “becomes a battle in which the mother clutches the child, shaking it up and down with the nipple forced into its mouth until it must either suck or choke,” but when not used as an erotic object, they are badly neglected, often “thrown away,” so that abandonment rates run as high as 75 percent as they are sent out for adoption or fosterage. When not hung on a tree in a bag or basket, the toddler is “discouraged from walking and not allowed to crawl, [forced to] sit still for hours and make queer noises." All this overstimulation plus abandonment produces extremely insecurely attached children in the infanticidal mode of childrearing who are schizoid personalities with dissociated alters embedded in their amygdalan networks to “carry” the pain of their abuse. Schizoid personalities—with their animistic delusional magical thinking processes—are the results of parents who simply are incapable of loving. As Masterson concludes: “The Schizoid child feels there is no pathway to the parents. [They live in] social isolation [with] an impossibility of an intimate relationship.” They have no inner Good Mother, so their inner attacking Mother is experienced as a deadly voice inside: “Feeling alone is feeling afraid of death.” Masterson calls schizoid patients “safety sensitive because of their twin fears of being controlled and of being hopelessly isolated.” In tribal families, there is no hope for forgiveness, only “eat Mommy or be eaten by her.” Yakut shamans hallucinate schizoid self-sacrifice to “a Bird-of-Prey-Mother, which is like a great bird with an iron beak, hooked claws and a long tail [who] cuts its body into bits and devours it.” Tribal schizoids then switch into dissociated alter trances and repeat their fears in spirit possession rituals.

Gotta love the abos.
One melanesian tribe forces boys to suck off and swallow older men's cum to grow "strong".
Seriously, what is up with all the child abuse among australoids?

I head=rd there's a tribe that ritualistically shoves shards of bone down the urethra of their men to remove the capacity for sexual pleasure.

>What was the Angkor Wat?
It's where you found out the comet was mutating everything.
papers are destroyed because of the humid weather.Thats why we onlynhave reference of foreigners in those region

Only Viets used paper on account of them being Mini-China. Thais and Burmese used it later on as well.
The rest either wrote in copper or bark/bamboo strips.
>>492890
Burmese writing is even evolved around the use of banana leaf, in that it's all circle-y n' shit:

other than that it's closely related to the other alphabets in the area, tibetan, thai, indian etc.
