Phnom Kulen has major symbolic importance for Cambodia as the birthplace of the ancient Khmer Empire,
for it was at Phnom Kulen that King Jayavarma II proclaimed independence from Java in 804 CE. Jayavarman II
initiated the Devaraja cult of the king,[a linga cult, in what is dated as 804 CE and declaring his independence
from Java of whom the Khmer had been a vassalage state (whether this is actually "Java", the Khmer chvea used to
describe Champa, or "Lava" (a Lao kingdom) is debated, as well as the legend that he was earlier held as a ransom
of the kingdom in Java. During the Angkorian era the relief was known as Mahendraparvata (the mountain of Great Indra).
Phnom Kulen was further developed under the rule of Udayadityavarman II, who made it the capital of his empire and
constructed many temples and residences as well as the 1000 Lingas at Kbal Spean. At its peak, the Kulen development
was larger than modern-day Phnom Penh and one of the largest cities in the 11th-century world. It would later be
eclipsed by Angkor, but still served a vital role, as its water irrigated the entire region.
