Open Question

Khmer royal inscriptions name Suryavarman II's posthumous title and record his military campaigns and his temple building at Angkor Wat, but as with other Khmer god-kings his personal birth is not part of the epigraphic record, which speaks in terms of reign and religious dedication rather than biography.

What would resolve this A dated Khmer inscription naming Suryavarman II's age or birth before his accession, distinct from the reign and campaign dates his own inscriptions record.
