An investigation into the roots of the most renowned empire in Southeast Asia.
Many of the ancient villages scattered in the remote countryside of Thailand possess sufficient size and complex structures to indicate that a sophisticated social structure, technology, and trade existed as early as 2000 BC. Historians often claim that the emergence of the magnificent Angkor civilization was due to external influences, particularly from India. However, Dr. Charles Higham and Dr. Nigel Chang from the University of Otago in New Zealand, along with Dr. Rakanie Sorasarat from the Thai Ministry of Culture, believe that previous scholars have underestimated the sophistication of indigenous cultures in Southeast Asia. Certainly, India witnessed the early development of a rich civilization and historically influenced neighboring countries like Cambodia and Thailand. However, can we say that Indian traders played a significant role in the origin of civilizations across Southeast Asia? The three scholars, Higham, Chang, and Sorasarat, are searching for clues about the indigenous cultures that existed in Southeast Asia before the spread of Indian influence.

Company information
Since its inception, enthusiastic Earthwatch fans have emerged around the world. The main reason for this is that ordinary citizens without special skills voluntarily participate in field research, working under the guidance of world-class scientists, and can experience "the state of the Earth" firsthand. In other words, it is the largest organization in the world that connects the forefront of science (field research) with the general public. The primary goal of Earthwatch is to investigate and record changes on Earth through the "scientific lens" and to create a "knowledge base" necessary for a sustainable future. It does not impose or enforce any ideologies, principles, or claims. Based on scientific data, it communicates and proposes solutions to humanity's challenges from a fair standpoint. Earthwatch Japan supports field research by Japanese scientists in the most effective way, aligned with Japan's needs and current situation, to address common human problems. It mobilizes volunteers for these research projects and also sends volunteers to overseas projects as part of international cooperation activities.
