Funan (Old Khmer Bnam) was a pre-Angkor Indianized kingdom located around the Mekong delta, believed to have been established in the first century A.D. by a Mon-Khmer people, although extensive human settlement may have gone back as far as the 4th century B.C. Funan, said to be by the Chinese envoys as a single unified empire was actually likely to be a collection of city-states. War was common among the city-states but they were also unified at times. At its height, Funan and all its principalities covered much of mainland Southeast Asia from modern day south Vietnam, parts of Laos, Thailand, Burma and extending into the Malay peninsula. Little is known about it, except that it was a powerful trading state. This is evidenced by the discovery of Roman, Chinese, and Indian goods during archaeological excavations at Oc Eo in southern Vietnam. The capital was initially located at Vyadhapura, near the modern Cambodian town of Phumi Banam in the Prey Veng Province, though it may have been moved to Oc Eo at a later time.

Origin The Funanese were likely Mon-Khmer, related to the Mon of Burma and the ancestors of modern Cambodians. They were likely the only close relatives of the Ancient Khmers and hybridized into a single ethnic when Chenla absorbed Funan in the 5th century A.D. Some debated that the Funanese were of Malay origin, but evidence are so far invalid. According to reports by two Chinese envoys, K'ang T'ai and Chu Ying, the state was established by an Indian Brahmin named Kaundinya, who in the first century C.E. was given instruction in a dream to take a magic bow from a temple and defeat a Khmer queen, Soma. Soma, the daughter of the king of the Nagas, married Kaundinya and their lineage became the royal dynasty of Funan. The myth had the advantage of providing the legitimacy of both an Indian Brahmin and the divinity of the cobras, who at that time were held in religious regard by the inhabitants of the region. It is debated whom found Funan. However, it is very unlikely that the empire were founded by Indian traders because they would likely not hold the knowledge needed to start an empire. It is thought Funan existed before Indianization but gained political power and territories through trade and cultural exchange with India.

History The Funanese Empire reached its furthest extent under the rule of Fan Shih-man in the early third century C.E., extending as far south as Malaysia and as far west as Burma. The Funanese established a strong system of mercantilism and commercial monopolies that would become a pattern for empires in the region. Fan Shih-man expanded the fleet and improved the Funanese bureaucracy, creating a quasi-feudal pattern that left local customs and identities largely intact, particularly in the empire's farther reaches. This is the History of Cambodia series. ...

Culture Funanese culture was a mixture of native beliefs and Indian idea. Many southeast Asian believed the cobra to be sacred and the introduce of the Indian naga was quickly absorbed by the locals. The kingdom is said to have been heavily influenced by Indian culture, and to have employed Indians for state administration purposes. Sanskrit was the language at the court, and the Funanese advocated Hindu and, after the fifth century, Buddhist religious doctrines. Records show that taxes were paid in silver, gold, pearls, and perfumed wood. K'ang T'ai reported that the Funanese practiced slavery and that justice was rendered through trial by ordeal, including such methods as carrying a red-hot iron chain and retrieving gold rings and eggs from boiling water. The word Naga can refer to several different things. ...

The Funanese were reported also to have extensive book collections and archives throughout their country, demonstrating a high level of scholarly achievement.

The Funanese population were concentrated mainly along the Mekong River, the area was a natural region for the development of an economy based on fishing and rice cultivation.
