Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam had a great impact on the way the people of ancient Southeast Asia lived. These religions guided many ancient Southeast Asian rulers in the way the they governed.
In ancient China, the people of ancient Southeast Asia did not entirely follow the teachings of their new religions and abandon their older beliefs. Instead, they combined their older beliefs with the teachings of their new religion.
In Southeast Asia, the kings no longer saw themselves as gods but they continued to use emblems of kingship.
It has shaped the lives of people in Southeast Asia today.
