"Nor does it seem that Seller's "code" is confined to mythology.  In the jungles of Kampuchea the temple complex of Angkor looks as it could have been purpose-built as a precessional metaphor.  It has, for example, five gates to each of which leads a road bridging the crocodile-infested moat that surrounds the whole site.  Each of these roads is bordered by a row of gigantic stone figures, 108 per avenue, 54 on each side (540 statues in all) and each row carries a huge Naga serpent.  Furthermore, as Santillana and von Dechend point out in Hamlet's Mill, the figures do not 'carry' the serpent but are shown to 'pull' it, which indicates that these 540 statues are 'churning the Milky Ocean'.  The whole of Angkor 'thus turns out to be a colossal model set up with true Hindu fantasy and incongruousness' to express the idea of precession."

PHNOM PENH, Feb. 25 2004 (Kyodo) - First Cambodia Airlines, owned 51% by Prime Minister Hun Sen's 23-year-old daughter Hun Mana, took off on its inaugural flight from Phnom Penh to Singapore on Wednesday.

First Cambodia, a joint venture between Hun Mana and partners in Hong Kong, will fly three times a week to Guangzhou, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, George Kwok, the airline's chief executive officer, said.

The new airline is backed with a primary capital investment of $2.5 million and plans to add another $5 million in capital over the longer term, Kwok said.

"The air transport industry plays a vital role in the economic development of Cambodia. We take this belief very seriously as we endeavor to put Cambodia on the map as one of Asia's premier hubs for air travel," Kwok said.

The advent of First Cambodia Airlines follows the recent bankruptcy of government-owned Royal Air Cambodge and the end of flight operations by privately owned Mekong Airlines.

The closure of Royal Air Cambodge, a joint venture with a Malaysian company that began operation in late 1994, was largely caused by poor management and corruption in which at least $20 million was reportedly lost.
