In the article How Judea Became Ayutthaya. The forgotten name of the ancient capital of Siam, you can get acquainted with the information about the unknown history of the ancient capital of Siam (now the territory of Thailand) - Ayutthaya. The city was called then Judea.
Descriptions of the region and portraits of the rulers have been preserved in old editions. I suggest you take a look.
In the beginning, information from the official history. The most famous ruler of Ayutthaya, the capital of Siam, was Naray (or Ramathibodi III). Brief information from the Russian-language wikipedia here.
15 14 Statue of King Narai, erected in 1966. He ruled Ayutthaya from 1656 to 1688.
But, for example, in the French wikipedia - completely different information and figures:
Ruler of Siam.
French illustration representing King Narai.
How do you like this contradiction in appearance? There are also such illustrations:

Narai witnesses a solar eclipse with the Jesuits at Lopburi in April 1688 (1690 watercolor reproduction).
From the clothes you can see that these are Jesuit monks. Around them, the servants, as they say, beat their brows. Perhaps just a servant from the local population.
Shown and the French fortress Bangkok in 1688 (plan of 1690). By the way, there were many similar fortresses-stars in this region:
Star cities: Arakan, Pegu, Yunan, Kachao, Kewelin, Canton, Yuthya (Ayutthaya), Cambodia. There is even a “star” on Sumatra and Borneo - Delhi and Borneo.
It is almost safe to say that this was the region of residence of the French Jesuits. European colonies. They also built cities and fortresses. But where did it all go?
Ayutthaya was officially destroyed by the Burmese in 1767. What or who exactly destroyed the city is also a question, since the neighboring rulers looked different from what is written in history:
Ruler of Cambodia. Almost brothers in appearance with the ruler of Siam.
In Thailand, there is a tradition among the elite to whiten the face. The eternal sun allows you to have a tan, but some celebrities and executives then become very similar to Europeans.
Let's go further. It is known that ancient Myanmar, Burma, was also called Pegu. And here, according to unofficial history, there was also a white emperor:
L'Empereur de Calaminchan (Emperor Calamin Khan):
I will put forward a version that this ruler, who looks like a Russian Cossack (or like the ruler of northern Tartaria), captured and destroyed Ayutthaya. Indeed, according to references, his army is about 1.75 million people. 350 thousand - cavalry and 55 thousand elephants. But since almost nothing remained of Ayutthaya, the version of the cataclysm cannot be ruled out either.
In conclusion, one more fact. History knows about the empire of the great Mughals who ruled in the north of modern India. And this is how the emperor of Hindustan looked like in the opinion of European scientists of that time:
Why modern textbook compilers, dissertation authors do not want to notice this point-blank? Do they believe that cartographers and artists, to put it mildly, were mistaken in the books of those years?
