Open Question

Where was Suryavarman II born?

Open Question

His biography is generally treated by historians as beginning with his violent seizure of the throne in 1113, since nothing reliable is known of his origin or early life; a Wikipedia infobox names Angkor, but its own body text and citation do not support this as a birth record.

What would resolve this An inscription or contemporary record naming his birthplace, independent of the assumption that a king born to rule at Angkor was born there.
