Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.), family Cucurbitaceae) is thought to have originated in southern Africa, where it is found growing wild. It reaches maximum genetic diversity there, with sweet, bland and bitter forms.<br/><br/> Evidence of its cultivation in the Nile Valley was found from the second millennium BC. Watermelon seeds have been found at Twelfth Dynasty sites and in the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun. Watermelon is also mentioned in the Bible as a food eaten by the ancient Israelites while they were in bondage in Egypt.<br/><br/> By the 10th century, watermelons were being cultivated in China, which is today the world's single largest watermelon producer. By the 13th century, Moorish invaders had introduced the fruit to Europe.

'In this country, it is the women who are concerned with commerce … Every day a market takes place which begins at six in the morning and ends at noon. There is no market made up of shops where people live. Instead people use a piece of matting, which they spread out on the earth. Each of them has her own position, and I believe that fees are charged for these locations'. The words of Chinese envoy, Chou Ta Kuan, who visited Cambodia during the reign of Indravarman III (1296-1308), and left a 40-page manuscript describing his experiences.
Built in 1834, the majestic Muslim tower, or 'suen', is located on the banks of the Mekong River in the village of Svay Kleang, which has been the heart of Cambodia’s minority Muslim community for centuries and played a key part in the Cham Rebellion against the Khmer Rouge in 1975. The Cham are an Austronesian people who probably migrated from Borneo. The Champa Kingdom peaked in the 9th century when it controlled the lands between Hue in central Annam to the Mekong Delta in Cochinchina. Champa's prosperity came from maritime trade in sandalwood and slaves, and probably piracy.
