As a Balinese, thank you for sharing this video. Fyi, there are still many descendants of majapahit which many of them grouped in clans that started with the name "Arya", like Arya Kenceng, Arya Kepakisan, Arya Kanuruhan etc. But people in Bali never perceive them as a barrier, but to unite our history as we are the last bastion of once a great civilization in southeast asia.
@@OtenBenaluIndonesiaArya was a term used to initially denote Vedic and Persian people in Sanskrit and Avestan but gradually transformed to mean noble or sir in general rather than race in Sanskrit. Nazi Germany corrupted the term "Aryan" in their propaganda to show that Indo-European race is superior with blonde Germans as the closest descendants but the term was generally used in Persia, India and Indianized kingdoms of SE Asia.
For the Filipinos like me, the Majapahit Empire was also in the Philippines especially in Sulu Archipelago(Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi) and this empire was the beginning of Philippine-Indonesia Alliance through trade and culture exchanges making the oldest diplomatic alliance in Asia and it was remained until now The Philippines-Indonesia Diplomatic Alliance only established in November 24, 1949 and which is now 75 Years of existence making the Longest Uninterrupted Diplomatic Alliance in Asia-Pacific Region 🇵🇭🤝🇮🇩
Do you know that Philippines History Museum kept the most treasured Majapahit style armor with Kala face sculpture made of metal? We Javanese learnt that Majapahit generals and soldiers wore a kind of armor from ancient manuscripts. Unfortunately, no armors were left intact in Java but surprisingly they were found in almost good condition in Philippines!!! Hope Indonesian historians make some replicas and exhibit them home.
@@simpleman6327Nice story my brother and for the Filipinos, I learned about Majapahit Empire in Asian History Books in high school because it was part of curriculum about the history of Philippine-Indonesia Relations that began with this empire through trade and military alliance 😊😊
There was no philippines back then and some of the island polities are the extended territory of the srivijayan empire which preceded the majapahit Filipino culture back then very different compared today even the language back then used for trading was ancient malay and Filipinos, and indonesians understood each other
FYI, Javanese Jung is the largest vessel in its time. The largest is estimated to be about 80 meters long and 25 meters wide with dead weight about 2000 tons. It made from teak Woods ( local hard wood) with 3 to 4 layers of plank in the hull, it can easily withstand Portuguese cannon. The ships mainly used a cargo vessels but during Majapahit period it also used as warship and soldiers transport ships. Legend says that the ming dynasty so impressed with the ships they copied the design and made their own version of Jung that is known as Chinese junk used by admiral Cheng ho to spread Chinese influence and domination around southern sea.
@@baniadam8325 I've read comments of Malaysian claiming that the word "Java" in ancient Chinese manuscripts and artifacts were actually a reference for Malaysian peninsula🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 such new low for mahawangsa malon..
@@Janovial nah, the chinese copied the javanese jong ships design. the proto-jong ships already exist since 11th century in Kingdom of Medang in Java. the chinese are not maritime civilization, they hired austronesian sailors and boatmen to help trading the goods to India and other regions.
Fun fact : Why the kingdom was called Majapahit? By litetal translation. Majapahit consist of two words, Maja (name of fruit, similar to Quince) and Pahit (Bitter in Indomalayan languages) There are stories that before Mongol fiasco, Raden Wijaya, with very little loyalist and being chased by rivals, was tired and taking a rest by laying ground and eating fruits. He takes the afromentioned Quince, but since it was unripe. It was bitter, so Raden Wijaya spit it. He takes a sip of water, take other quince, and luckily, it was sweet This was seen by his loyalist who was waiting for him. After taking a speech. Raden Wijaya mention his previous experiences about eating the fruit and quoting "may this fruit will remind us our bitter struggle, before we will enjoy it sweetness" That is why he take Majapahit, or Bitter Quince as name his realm. To remind him and his people that we need to overcome the bitterness of life before enjoy it sweetness Now i can't say whether it's historically accurate or not (i just read it in one source). However, i think the morale lesson is spmething we needed
It may be unrelated but one of the most well known of Chinese sayings is “Chi- Ku” or “eating bitterness”. This has been called upon even into the modern day as a warning to prepare for hardship and to suffer. In fact “eating bitterness” is what the Chinese people have been best at forever.
"maja is known as bael in India. It is different from quince. The sanskrit name of Majapahit is Wilwatikta (the name used by some literature works from Majapahit era).
I am from India.. After India I love Indonesia.. Visited Bali last year.. Fantastic place and good people. I would like to visit Prambanan and Borobudur temples 🙏
Yeah and you have yourself to blame for that. Do you people even make cinema and tv of it? For example, have you ever tried to tell the beautiful story of Soma-Kaundinya? The father of all your empires and kingdoms?
@@ankokunokayoubi yeah. Wouldn't you agree? It pretty much is like the balkan history. So many different languages. Great empires. Great generals etc. Also the tamils conquered South East Asia like romans conquered balkans and anatolia. So other than the fact that romans were once democratic everything looks similar.
As Bill Wurtz put it: "Oh! Look who controls all the islands. It’s the Mahajapit! [X] Majahapit! [X] Mapajahit! [X] Mahapajit! [X] Mapajahit! [X] Maja-pahit? [✓]"
I'm Indonesian, also part of one of the Royal Family who still exist in this Republic. My family is once part of Majapahit army to conquer Bali Kingdom (Bedahulu Kingdom), after the victorius campaign my great-ancestor, Arya (Knight) Kenceng, rewarded a territory to rule in today Tabanan Regency. My root is not Majapahit but Singhasari this can see by the name of my Kingdom, its name is Kingdom of Singasana (also called as Tabunan) or Puri Singasana. I'm part of the East Palace (Puri Dangin), the last king birth family. The last King is King I Gusti Ngurah Rai Perang XXI, who are also one of the King refuses the Dutch East Indies autorithy over the Island. The Kindom was destroyed by the Dutch after they victorius against coalition army of Badung and Tabanan Kingdom. After that event my family have not rights in politics and economy autorithy, over the Kingdom. In present day we are part of the Republic and stay as cultural heritage of the past.

Srivijaya and Majapahit are both Indonesian empires. It curiously fell within seven century cycle: 7th century Srivijaya, 14th century Majapahit, and 21st century Indonesia. Indonesia will rise gloriously and play the role as regional geopolitic power; the most powerful state in Southeast Asia. The reincarnation of Srivijaya and Majapahit.

Dear sir, not only to Westerners, I think we Indonesians are barely known by most other nations, so by bringing up that fact alone, I convey my gratitude with tears
You people copied everything from Malays, Chinese and Indians, you have no uniqueness, no wonder many people aren't interested in your country except that tiny hindu part of yours which people love to visit because it's safer and cleaner than India, heck even your country's name is copied from a foreign country.

They very likely commissioned a local to do the artwork for this episode, hence the accuracy. Edit: The artist's name is Galang Pinandita, listed in the description. Yup, that explains it.
@@warpaint7486 well yea im very love that when indonesian artists are also involved in that. We hope K&G can make about Indonesian history documentary more often and introduce our history to foreign audiences.
As Indonesian, I hope you also would mention the greatest admiral in our history. His name is Mpu Nala. He's the reason why Gadjah Mada and Hayam Wuruk were reached such achievement.
@@DevRaj-ry2thyou're not understand the meaning of that statement. It means under their era Majapahit grew to became empire with lots of vassal states under it, which is true and that's why it can be said as ACHIEVEMENT.
@@yehezkielr.s.2712 politics decide the fate of the military. Those 3 owed Gayatri their positions. If Gayatri didn't approve, then nobody in Majapahit and Nusantara would have any idea who tf Mpu Nala was.
In college I took a class on the "South China Seas and South East Asia" focusing on using GIS mapping software and learning how to make maps and I drove myself half insane when I picked for my personal project to try and map the territorial extents of the Srivijaya and Majapahit empires using whatever sources I could find on like, material artifacts and where they were found and it was definitely above my skill level and I spent far far far more time working on the evidence side than we were meant to, and less time with the software than we were meant to... so the presentation didn't go super well, but my professor liked the accompanying paper at least.
I have two interns from Indonesia who want to serve as tourist guides to their own country. They have a huge amounts of knowledge of their history and insist its fascinating. I cant wait to share what I learned from this video with them.
Kingdom of Singapura is also mentioned in this video, after their king try to establish independent foreign policy towards Ming China, Majapahit sent punitive armada to subdue this rebelious colony...
As a Javanese and Indonesian, your research and presentation are unbelievably accurate. Your pronunciation of Indonesian names is very authentic. So many points are spot on and it shows your deep research about the subject. Here are my additions : - the Mongol troops did not only leave gun powder technology in the form of cetbang but also hand held arquebus (primitive gun) called "lantaka". - Ancient Majapahit general and high rank soldiers wore metal armors whose remnants were discovered in the Philippines. None were found in Indonesia. - Majapahit didn't attack Sunda Kingdom by force because West Java is considered the ancestors land / sacred land, where Central and East Javanese kings traced their ancestry. Thank you so much for presenting the underrated ASEAN history in a very interesting way.
But man, this problem is only solved like 3 or 4 years ago if I'm not mistaken right? This problem is truly ingrained into the blood and flesh of those region.. Even now if we discuss the tragedy of the Bubat war in West Java or Banten, in East Java, Madura or Bali it can be so awkward, get shouted at or got into trouble because of it, (because I experienced it myself).. Maybe there are one province and it was central Java, Central Javanese people is the chilles people when it come to discussing historical events (also my personal experience).. And for context, I am of Javanese Dayak descent..
@@bikkiikun Sunda is a sacred land where the ancestors of Central and East Javanese kingdoms came from. Attacking Sunda means you are attacking your grandparents' house.
@@simpleman6327 : Thanks for the explanation... Although, being "sacred" can't be the only explanation. Just look at the so called "Holy Land". Or to go with your analogy of the grandparents' house, families can fight bitterly over the inheritance, even going so far as to destroy it, just so the others can't have it. So I think, there must be something more to it, than just being considered sacred ancestors' land.
@@bikkiikun call it RESPECT. Central and East Javanese royal families respected Sunda / West Java region and left them alone because they respected the place of their ancestors. It is a matter of ethics that the offspring should not disturb the ancestors' territory.
You also have to understand that ancient kingdom ini Java called "Medang" once colonized Cambodia, one of the sons of the Cambodian kingdom named Jayawarman II studied in Java, together with one of the greatest Kings of Medang at that time named "Dharanindra" or Rakai Panunggalan. "Rakai" was the title of Greatest King like "Kahn" in the Mongol Empire. At that time, Dharanindra did not like war and preferred to supervise the construction of the Borobudur temple. When there was a rebellion in Cambodia, Jayawarman II was sent by Dharanindra to Cambodia, because he was the son of the Cambodian kingdom which was conquered by Java. After being sent to Cambodia instead of overcoming the rebellion, Jayawarman II instead decided to become "Dewaraja" in the land of his ancestors, then freed himself to rebuild Cambodia and separated from the Medang Kingdom in Java. Therefore, the style of temple construction in Cambodia like Angkor Wat temple etc was heavily influenced by temples in Java, because at that time Jayawarman II participated in seeing the construction of temples in Java.
The ancient history of the world is dominated by stories of the greatness of the Romans, Greeks, Egyptians and Mongols. in fact, from the 3rd to the 8th centuries there were astonishing monuments built in Indonesia... with great artistic details... which were born from a very intelligent and high culture... just look at the temples of Borubudur, Prambanan, Pawon, and hundreds of others... where in At that time, most of European society was still under Roman rule and lived in slums. These great monuments can be compared to even more complicated than contemporary temples such as Roman temples, Greek temples such as the Colosseum, and others. The Majapahit Kingdom was the peak of civilizational achievements that occurred in Southeast Asia at that time... (12th to 14th centuries) before the western nations came amidst its collapse.. The Majapahit kingdom has practiced tolerance between religious communities, which is a philosophical achievement that is very rare in other civilizations throughout the world. The influence of this great empire is still felt today throughout Southeast Asia... its influence in this region is even further than the Roman Empire (6,000 to 8,000 miles).. Unfortunately the Majapahit kingdom had to collapse just like other ancient civilizations in the world such as Greece, Rome, Mongols and others.
Your ancestors copied everything from China and India, which results in a boring history atleast greeks, Egyptian, Mongols and Romans were original, you are just Chinese colonial island 😂.
Any asian civilization is ignored including india and china. Westerners just focus on european rome and greece and their neighbours like egypt mesopotamia.
Rome spread its culture everywhere it conquered. Even to the furthest corners like Britain, where they built palaces and villas just like in Rome. So no, if you were in the Roman Empire, you weren't living in slums. Before Rome conquered them, depending on where you lived, it wasn't as luxurious as Rome, but not slums.
The Majapahit Empire was one of the greatest Hindu empires that ever existed. The history of Southeast Asia and India is interconnected, but we still don't know their histories quite well yet. It's really fascinating though! ❤️
Indians, don't really care about empires, though we have had some great ones like Maurya Empire (which Ashoka was part of and his grand-dad defeated Greeks and united many small kingdoms of India). We've have our Priniciples entact. like a king is only be praise worthy when he follows Raj-Dharma. If a king attacks his neighbouring Kingdom and killed childrens, women, elderly and common people, then his own people will reject him. In short, principles were forced on the king to follow, not the other way around. For us the Only King worthy of Praise is Lord Ram. We respect Buddha but don't workship him, because rejected his duty to his kingdom, to his wife and childrens. That's why in India there is a rule that you can't take Sanyas from life unless your parents approve of this. Ashoka is called chadaal (the person whose occupation is burn the dead). So, no one likes him. As he killed his 100 brothers to take the throne.

Gaja Mada was one of the most intriguing figures in world history: He was astute and protected his kingdom to later expand it into an Empire, but he wasn't wise enough to recognize that his proposal towards the Sunda royalty was unacceptable.
If you play Age of Empire II. There is an entire campaign dedicated to him. The story is quite nice (although there is some inaccuracies). If you like the game, you should take it
That incident towards the Sunda royalty birthed a legend that a Javanese and a Sundanese should not marry one another. Because people came to believe that such marriages would lead to bad luck
@@AndiBudiHermawanwell said, but Indonesia is not a Moslem country though most of its population is Moslem. It is declared in the national decree there are other religions and beliefs living harmoniously along with each other: Hindu, Buddha, Christians (mostly Roman Catholics & Protestants, and a tiny population of Orthodox), Islam, and Animists.
Lovely video on Southeast Asian history, hope to see more of these and other less known histories here in the West. As a Puerto Rican myself I would love to see more videos on the Caribbean and Latin American history as well.
There is an epic story behind Majapahit that not many people know (this is from the latest study), There was a Mastermind behind Majapahit's conquest of the Nusantara archipelago, That is Kertanegara's daughter "Gayatri" witnessed her father and her family die at the hands of the rebellion, the woman vowed to unite the Nusantara archipelago (Fulfilling her father's ambition, Because her father failed), then Gayatri marries Raden Wijaya (And became one of the 5 wives of Raden Wijaya), Gayatri has 2 daughters from her marriage to Raden Wijaya, one of them dyah gitarja (Tribuana Tunggadewi), Gayatri wanted to be crowned as a queen, But instead she chose her daughter, because if Gayatri becomes queen After she got rid of Jayanegara (her stepson) then there will be a rebellion... It was Gayatri's revenge and ambition that inspired Gajah Mada, Gayatri was also the one who instigated and educated Gajah Mada to assassinate Jayanegara (Gayatri's stepson) And become a general To swear to conquer the archipelago of Nusantara, Gayatri was also the one who educated and controlled Dyah Gitarja and Hayam Wuruk (Gayatri's grandson) from behind the scenes. When Gayatri died Majapahit went into decline, Gayatri chose to become a bhikkhuni Rather than being queen Until she died, she was also the one who Mastermind behind the murder of jayangara. From her father's ambition Kertanegara, Gayatri made her father's dream come true By doing it behind the scenes as a Mastermind, Gayatri was the one who conquered the archipelago and united it, not gajah mada, gajah mada (gajah It means elephant) was just her mount to make her dream come true.
@@ombotaklicinz0024 "When Gayatri died Majapahit went into decline" not true. When Gayatri died, her daughter Tribhuwana (as her representative) abdicated the throne and Rajasanagara (Hayam Wuruk) became the king. Rajasanagara's reign was known as the golden period of Majapahit
Terima kasih sudah membuat video yang menceritakan salah satu sejarah kerajaan terbesar di Indonesia! In fact, the history of Majapahit cannot be separated from Singasari and the kingdoms that existed before. The primary sources for the history of these two kingdoms are the Negarakertagama and Pararaton books. All additions in this comments column are sourced from the narratives of historians who have understood the contents of primary source reading. ((Correction if there is something wrong or missing, let's discuss!) As a little addition, the spirit of uniting the archipelago is actually in Kertanegara, father of Gayatri Rajapatni, grandfather of Dyah Gitarja (Tribhuwana Wijayatunggadewi). During the succession of kings after the death of Kalagemet (Jayanegara's nickname because he was evil and weak) Gayatri Rajapatni should have ascended the throne, but she refused because she wanted to renounce the world and become a nun. But that doesn't mean she just left Majapahit. She understood that Singasari and Majapahit were built by two equally powerful clans, descendants of Tunggul Ametung and Ranggah Rajasa. It has become a myth that if Singasari was led by only one descendant of the clan, then its power would not last long. Gayatri understands that she is a descendant of only one clan, while her child, Dyah Gitarja, is a descendant of two clans (Gayatri is a descendant of the Kertanegara, Ametung clan, while Dyah Gitarja's father, Dyah Wijaya, is a descendant of the Rajasa clan). Gayatri really understands the historical situation where when two clans side by side led Singasari, when Ranggawuni and Mahisa Campaka led it, Singasari was in a period of peace. So, when she decided to become a nun, she also prepared Dyah Gitarja as Majapahit's successor. She also became a mentor to her own daughter. What she did was then also done by Dyah Gitarja for Hayam Wuruk, so that Hayam Wuruk's vision remains the same as the vision of his mother, grandmother and ancestors in uniting the archipelago. Jayanegara's removal also had something to do with Gajah Mada. He has been the leader of the royal troops since Jayanegara. However, he and Gayatri understood that Jayanegara was not suitable. He is not slandered badly, but is indeed evil and weak. He didn't act wisely like previous kings, instead he loved to tease royal women, no matter whether they were married. One of his many actions was wanting to marry his sisters, Dyah Gitarja and Dyah Wiyat because he didn't want to lose his throne. When Jayanegara was killed by his healer, Ra Tanca, Gajah Mada immediately killed Ra Tanca so that he was considered a "hero" at that time. Gajah Mada then joined Gayatri's plan in choosing Dyah Gitarja. That's why Dyah Gitarja became a successful successor because she was accompanied by Gayatri, her wise and visionary mother as a mentor and Gajah Mada as a reliable and trustworthy commander. That is why after Hayam Wuruk died, Majapahit began to collaps. Because his successor may not be treated the same as Gayatri accompanying Dyah Gitarja and Dyah Gitarja mentoring Hayam Wuruk. The lack of a patih who was like Gajah Mada also turned out to be a problem because the charisma of the other patihs was not the same as Gajah Mada. Ditunggu kembali episode yang membahas tentang Indonesia!
as an indonesian im really happy when the narrator said "more videos on indonesian history are on the way" YEAAAY, please do the "Indonesian National Revolution War" against the British Empire and the Netherlands in 1945-1949 !!!
@@bilkishchowdhury8318 No. They were promised independence by Japan after the war. But when Japan surrendered in 15 August 1945, the youths forced the forefathers (especially Soekarno and Hatta) to declare independence apart from Japan intervention. They kidnap them to Rengasdengklok and formed the Declaration of Independence, also the National Flag. Although some Japanese offices helped after the declaration of independence on 17 August 1945, i.e. Admiral Maeda of IJN, but those Japanese officers acted as themselves, not as representative of the Japan military government which at that time was non functional after their surrender to the Allies. The previous works with Japan before their surrender helped a lot to build the state foundation: the UUD 1945 (The Indonesia Constitution) and Pancasila (the Five Pillars). The hard work i.e. the meetings, discussions, lobbying, documentation, forming, etc being built but not finalised yet. The state foundation work being finalised by Indonesia government on 18 August 1945. One day after the Declaration of Independence. The Indonesian youths at that time forced the leaders to declare independence rather than waiting, because they were worried about the return of Dutch colonials. Which came true. Netherland Indies Civil Administration (NICA) came along with the British to claim back the Dutch colonial occupation over Netherland Indies (now become Indonesia). Hence the War of Independence 1945-1949.
YES!! As a history enthusiast from Indonesia and a fav fan of your channel, I'm very happy that you guys are finally regularly uploading the history of our beloved country. Indonesia is a big country but the history of my country is still underrated in the world, so I'm very appreciative when you guys upload the video about Indonesian history with many details.

The ruin of Majapahit is very near from my house. Thanks for your effort in making review about my anchestors , Majapahit. Greeting and much respect from East Java
Despite the current social climate of Indonesia, Majapahit is indeed the "dream" for many Indonesians deep down. Nowdays there's definitely tension between religions and race because of what happened during and after Indonesia's war of independence, but to truly unite that many ethnic and religious group while becoming the masters of the sea is what Indonesia will always strive to do.
Maybe that's the only thing that'll stop the chinese. But i don't think that feeling will last for long. Mpst indonesian muslims are getting radicalized rapidaly asking to destroy pre islam history.
@@austronesianpride5162not really, Indonesia it self has Majapahit influence, just look the flag of Red-White. So if Majapahit achievement can reach again, than all Indonesia will gain benefit. Not Majapahit or Javanese.

I as well as most Americans always knew how important Indonesia was without knowing it. Because if I'm not mistaken the spice islands are one of the things that caused the eastern hemispheres first discovery of the America's. One of the things Christopher Columbus was looking for was another way to the spice islands. The whole gold and silver thing came more after the Spanish discovering it's comparative abundance of it.
Open a blank map and ask any random americans to try to point where Bali, Jakarta, and Indonesia were. And i'm sure 95% of the participants would spectacularly failed.
Our Indonesian philosophy of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika or Unity in Diversity is on our blood,believe in "karma" is inside our soul,no matter what our religion.
I really like these videos that leave the western sphere a little and address my favorite part of history with unknown peoples and kingdoms, for more stories about Southeast Asia I hope for one about the origins of the kmer empire or the cholas.

I was very impressed and started studying the history of my ancestors, after I met many descendants of the Majapahit kings in East Java, it was very impressive that they preferred to be commoners who worked hard and chose to live without luxury, keeping their ancestral genealogy tightly closed (they still have complete genealogical records their ancestors), and they focus on being a good and simple Muslim. Many people don't recognize them and look down on them when they meet them because of their simple lives, but I'm impressed, they never reply and instead pray for the people who insult them.
Pada paruh kedua abad ke-14, Kerajaan Singapura menjadi kaya raya. Namun keberhasilannya membuat khawatir dua kekuatan regional saat itu, Ayutthaya dari utara dan Majapahit dari selatan. Akibatnya, ibu kota kerajaan yang berbenteng ini diserang oleh setidaknya dua invasi asing sebelum dihancurkan oleh Majapahit pada tahun 1398. Raja Singapura yang kelima dan terakhir, Parameswara melarikan diri ke pantai barat Semenanjung Malaya dan mulai mendirikan Kesultanan Malaka sekitar antara tahun 1400.

20:40 Indeed Majapahit empire plays an important role in Indonesian nation building, as a historical proof to argue for ancient nationhood. Forming a national narrative about the noble, sophisticated, powerful, enlightened, diverse, prosperous, and glorious ancestral empire, the predecessor of modern Indonesian republic. Majapahit for Indonesians is just like Roman Empire for Italians. Thank you for making this video, which made me overwhelmed with emotional feeling, proud yet also sad on how the empire has fallen. It inspire us, Indonesians, to develop our nation to achieve the geopolitical might as powerful and glorious as Majapahit. Indonesia is the reincarnation of Majapahit empire.
Penjelajah misionaris asal Venesia, Odorico Mattiussi da Pordenone mengunjungi Jawa tahun 1321 waktu pemerintahan Jayanagara. Ia mencatat pasukan Mongol kembali datang untuk balas dendam, tetapi berhasil dipukul mundur oleh pihak Majapahit. Hal ini mengulangi kegagalan pada tahun 1293. "Dan raja ini begitu perkasa sehingga dia sering mengalahkan Khan Agung Cathay [Cina], yang merupakan kaisar terkuat di seluruh dunia.''
Kalau tidak perkasa, lalu apa alasan seorang Prabu Kertanegera sangat berani menghina utusan Kekaisaran Yuan (mongol) adikuasa dunia waktu itu (amerika saat ini)?? cuma ada 2 kemungkinan: 1. Prabu Kertanegara punya kuasa yg sama 2. Mungkin sedang mabuk arak.
respect for Filipinos.. Filipinos are our beloved brothers who can accept the facts of Indonesian history... unlike some Malay people from the peninsula... By the way, have you ever heard of the betrayal of a cowardly Malaysian named Tunku Abdul Rahman against Sukarno and Macapagal in the Maphilindo agreement?... the cowardice of the Malay leader is a shameful historical wound for that country..😅😂
@@bram9898 Basically, Malaysia just copied everything about Indonesia. One more information about Malaysia is that they supported the muslim rebels group in the Philippines because of the Sabah issue they want to divert the attention of the government to the rebels not the Sabah claim, that land is belong to our muslim brothers. Our muslim brothers have the receipt that the Malaysian government is renting that land (Sabah).
The sign of the glory of Singosari (Tumapel) in the Malacca Strait was marked by the placing of the Paduka Amoghapasa or Padang Roco inscription by Sri Krtanagara in 1286 AD. The meaning of this glory was also expressed when in 1289 AD, a delegation of Kublai Khan, the Great Khan from the Yuan Dynasty of the Mongol-Chinese Empire, namely Men Shi or Meng-qi (孟琪), had tattooed by king Kertanegara on his forehead with a hot iron with the mark of a thief, his face was injured and his ears were cut off, and expelled. _''Tell your Emperor that Singhasari does not want to be colonized by the Mongols''_ Kertanegara was reluctant to submit to Kublai Khan, the grandson of Genghis Khan.

1:20 so true. It was said that Gadjah Mada loss half of his hairs when he tried to invade Garut in the Priangan highlands. Thus, since that time to this very day Garut produces Indonesia's greatest barbers. We simply call them by the Asgarts: Asli Garut.
when i was a kid i didnt understand how great majapahit was, i never paid attention to history class and thought it was boring, because i thought the western history of kingdoms was probably dozens time better, turns out it was just a different century, and now i realize majapahit was great for its time, the fact that malaysia and singapore and probably more other sea countries were part of indonesian empire long ago, its amazing, i now understand that not many countries can have such big empire as part of their history, i hope indonesia can be great again

There is an epic story behind Majapahit that not many people know (this is from the latest study), There was a Mastermind behind Majapahit's conquest of the Nusantara archipelago. That is Kertanegara's daughter "Gayatri" witnessed her father and her family die at the hands of the rebellion, the woman vowed to unite the Nusantara archipelago (Fulfilling her father's ambition, Because her father failed), then Gayatri marries Raden Wijaya (And became one of the 5 wives of Raden Wijaya), Gayatri has 2 daughters from her marriage to Raden Wijaya, one of them dyah gitarja (Tribuana Tunggadewi), Gayatri wanted to be crowned as a queen, But instead she chose her daughter, because if Gayatri becomes queen After she got rid of Jayanegara (her stepson) then there will be a rebellion... It was Gayatri's revenge and ambition that inspired Gajah Mada, Gayatri was also the one who instigated and educated Gajah Mada to assassinate Jayanegara (Gayatri's stepson) And become a general To swear to conquer the archipelago of Nusantara, Gayatri was also the one who educated and controlled Dyah Gitarja and Hayam Wuruk (Gayatri's grandson) from behind the scenes. When Gayatri died Majapahit went into decline, Gayatri chose to become a bhikkhuni Rather than being queen Until she died, she was also the one who Mastermind behind the murder of jayangara. From her father's ambition Kertanegara, Gayatri made her father's dream come true By doing it behind the scenes as a Mastermind, Gayatri was the one who conquered the archipelago and united it, not gajah mada, gajah mada (gajah It means elephant) was just her mount to make her dream come true.

its an honor that my nation history to be discused in this channel. and i want to add little part to the amazing culturally diverse history of our nation: The first islamic kingdom in java,its called Demak Kingdom and the first king of Demak is Raden Patah. Raden Patah was the biological son of the last king of the majapahit Brawijaya V. what i said that its not Demak that conquer or destroy the kingdom of Majapahit but it was Demak that succeded the kingdom of Majapahit because Raden Patah was the legitimate heir to Majapahit kingdom. the late king of majapahit,Brawijaya V ,its known as Monk-King so at old age he choose to abdicate his throne and give it to raden patah so he can depart to his long awaited asceticsm. There is no war at the transition of the hindu-budhist era to islamic era in indonesian history. Many account said that the aggresion of Demak that destroyed the kingdom of Majapahit,but in fact it was Raden Patah who save his father,Brawijaya V from the revolt that launched from the client kingdom of kediri whom at that time occupied the Majapahit capital of Trowulan and held Brawijaya V as prisoner.
You know? The channel you created really helped me understand the lessons delivered by the teacher, the discussion was concise and easy to understand. easier than I found in the book! keep updating the next video. I like it very much. Greetings from Indonesia as someone from the Javanese tribe :)
🎉 hopefully some Khmer Love along with medieval Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam! Super hard to find good videos on all those without it looking like the history channel or a PowerPoint.
nice documentary about ancient southeast. I hope you make an episode about the ancient kingdoms of the Philippines or the kingdoms on mainland southeast
Some would argue that Demak did not invade, but trying to return the Throne to the rightful heir as it was usurped - again - by Prince of Kediri. Sultan of Demak himself was the child of concubine of the late Majapahit king, so he also have the claim to the throne
The way Majapahit navy used the cetbang cannons were unlike the more modern European navy which placed them semi permanently at the cannon windows at the side of the ship. A cetbang can be quickly disassembled, carried and operated by only two people and can be placed strategically at any part of the ship. Their main function is, instead of attacking enemy's hull, they will first attack enemy's deck and sail from close range when both ships are next to each other, to both render their ship immobile and provide preliminary assault. Then after that they can either deploy the navy troops or just continue with bombarding the ship's hull until it sinks. This assault tactics proved to be so effective the Majapahit navy were unbeatable for more than 200 years, not even the mighty Mongolian empire were able to challenge them at the time.

As an Indonesian, we always learn the history of our nation (Which is always the case), starting from the hindu-buddhism kingdoms, then the sultanates, until its changes into what we see today in Indonesia. And to be honest, as someone who likes to study history, I'm used to not like studying my own history, perhaps because it is always repeated during our school times that some of us might saw it as boring, therefore leaning more towards the world history, which I did. But today, that all changed thanks to your video. It really open my eyes and my mind once again about how magnificent Indonesian histories are, yet there are still people that still don't know about it, even us Indonesians included. Thank you for making study of history more fun and easily understandable. Matur Suksma (Means "Thank you" in Balinese) ^^

FYI, Javanese Jung is the largest vessel in its time. The largest is estimated to be about 80 meters long and 25 meters wide with dead weight about 2000 tons. It made from teak Woods ( local hard wood) with 3 to 4 layers of plank in the hull, it can easily withstand Portuguese cannon. The ships mainly used a cargo vessels but during Majapahit period it also used as warship and soldiers transport ships. Legend says that the ming dynasty so impressed with the ships they copied the design and made their own version of Jung that is known as Chinese junk used by admiral Cheng ho to spread Chinese influence and domination around southern sea.
or Zheng He in chinese, Cheng Ho is his hakka name
Di klaim malaysia, jadi Jung Melayu 😂😂😂
@@baniadam8325 I've read comments of Malaysian claiming that the word "Java" in ancient Chinese manuscripts and artifacts were actually a reference for Malaysian peninsula🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 such new low for mahawangsa malon..
Jung only appeared during the Majapahit. Clearly, it came from the Chinese after the failed mongol invasion of Java
@@Janovial nah, the chinese copied the javanese jong ships design. the proto-jong ships already exist since 11th century in Kingdom of Medang in Java.
the chinese are not maritime civilization, they hired austronesian sailors and boatmen to help trading the goods to India and other regions.
Fun fact : Why the kingdom was called Majapahit?
By litetal translation. Majapahit consist of two words, Maja (name of fruit, similar to Quince) and Pahit (Bitter in Indomalayan languages)
There are stories that before Mongol fiasco, Raden Wijaya, with very little loyalist and being chased by rivals, was tired and taking a rest by laying ground and eating fruits. He takes the afromentioned Quince, but since it was unripe. It was bitter, so Raden Wijaya spit it. He takes a sip of water, take other quince, and luckily, it was sweet
This was seen by his loyalist who was waiting for him. After taking a speech. Raden Wijaya mention his previous experiences about eating the fruit and quoting "may this fruit will remind us our bitter struggle, before we will enjoy it sweetness"
That is why he take Majapahit, or Bitter Quince as name his realm. To remind him and his people that we need to overcome the bitterness of life before enjoy it sweetness
Now i can't say whether it's historically accurate or not (i just read it in one source). However, i think the morale lesson is spmething we needed
It may be unrelated but one of the most well known of Chinese sayings is “Chi- Ku” or “eating bitterness”. This has been called upon even into the modern day as a warning to prepare for hardship and to suffer. In fact “eating bitterness” is what the Chinese people have been best at forever.
"maja is known as bael in India. It is different from quince. The sanskrit name of Majapahit is Wilwatikta (the name used by some literature works from Majapahit era).

As a Javanese and Indonesian, your research and presentation are unbelievably accurate. Your pronunciation of Indonesian names is very authentic. So many points are spot on and it shows your deep research about the subject. Here are my additions :
- the Mongol troops did not only leave gun powder technology in the form of cetbang but also hand held arquebus (primitive gun) called "lantaka".
- Ancient Majapahit general and high rank soldiers wore metal armors whose remnants were discovered in the Philippines. None were found in Indonesia.
- Majapahit didn't attack Sunda Kingdom by force because West Java is considered the ancestors land / sacred land, where Central and East Javanese kings traced their ancestry.
Thank you so much for presenting the underrated ASEAN history in a very interesting way.
But man, this problem is only solved like 3 or 4 years ago if I'm not mistaken right? This problem is truly ingrained into the blood and flesh of those region..
Even now if we discuss the tragedy of the Bubat war in West Java or Banten, in East Java, Madura or Bali it can be so awkward, get shouted at or got into trouble because of it, (because I experienced it myself)..
Maybe there are one province and it was central Java, Central Javanese people is the chilles people when it come to discussing historical events (also my personal experience)..
And for context, I am of Javanese Dayak descent..
I was wondering, why Sunda remained untouched throughout the centuries and the rise and fall of multiple empires...
@@bikkiikun Sunda is a sacred land where the ancestors of Central and East Javanese kingdoms came from. Attacking Sunda means you are attacking your grandparents' house.
@@simpleman6327 : Thanks for the explanation... Although, being "sacred" can't be the only explanation.
Just look at the so called "Holy Land".
Or to go with your analogy of the grandparents' house, families can fight bitterly over the inheritance, even going so far as to destroy it, just so the others can't have it.
So I think, there must be something more to it, than just being considered sacred ancestors' land.
@@bikkiikun call it RESPECT. Central and East Javanese royal families respected Sunda / West Java region and left them alone because they respected the place of their ancestors. It is a matter of ethics that the offspring should not disturb the ancestors' territory.
You also have to understand that ancient kingdom ini Java called "Medang" once colonized Cambodia, one of the sons of the Cambodian kingdom named Jayawarman II studied in Java, together with one of the greatest Kings of Medang at that time named "Dharanindra" or Rakai Panunggalan. "Rakai" was the title of Greatest King like "Kahn" in the Mongol Empire.
At that time, Dharanindra did not like war and preferred to supervise the construction of the Borobudur temple.
When there was a rebellion in Cambodia, Jayawarman II was sent by Dharanindra to Cambodia, because he was the son of the Cambodian kingdom which was conquered by Java. After being sent to Cambodia instead of overcoming the rebellion, Jayawarman II instead decided to become "Dewaraja" in the land of his ancestors, then freed himself to rebuild Cambodia and separated from the Medang Kingdom in Java.
Therefore, the style of temple construction in Cambodia like Angkor Wat temple etc was heavily influenced by temples in Java, because at that time Jayawarman II participated in seeing the construction of temples in Java.
The ancient history of the world is dominated by stories of the greatness of the Romans, Greeks, Egyptians and Mongols.
in fact, from the 3rd to the 8th centuries there were astonishing monuments built in Indonesia... with great artistic details... which were born from a very intelligent and high culture... just look at the temples of Borubudur, Prambanan, Pawon, and hundreds of others... where in At that time, most of European society was still under Roman rule and lived in slums.
These great monuments can be compared to even more complicated than contemporary temples such as Roman temples, Greek temples such as the Colosseum, and others.
The Majapahit Kingdom was the peak of civilizational achievements that occurred in Southeast Asia at that time... (12th to 14th centuries) before the western nations came amidst its collapse..
The Majapahit kingdom has practiced tolerance between religious communities, which is a philosophical achievement that is very rare in other civilizations throughout the world.
The influence of this great empire is still felt today throughout Southeast Asia... its influence in this region is even further than the Roman Empire (6,000 to 8,000 miles)..
Unfortunately the Majapahit kingdom had to collapse just like other ancient civilizations in the world such as Greece, Rome, Mongols and others.
Your ancestors copied everything from China and India, which results in a boring history atleast greeks, Egyptian, Mongols and Romans were original, you are just Chinese colonial island 😂.
Any asian civilization is ignored including india and china. Westerners just focus on european rome and greece and their neighbours like egypt mesopotamia.
Rome spread its culture everywhere it conquered. Even to the furthest corners like Britain, where they built palaces and villas just like in Rome. So no, if you were in the Roman Empire, you weren't living in slums. Before Rome conquered them, depending on where you lived, it wasn't as luxurious as Rome, but not slums.
The Majapahit Empire was one of the greatest Hindu empires that ever existed. The history of Southeast Asia and India is interconnected, but we still don't know their histories quite well yet. It's really fascinating though! ❤️

Indians, don't really care about empires, though we have had some great ones like Maurya Empire (which Ashoka was part of and his grand-dad defeated Greeks and united many small kingdoms of India).
We've have our Priniciples entact. like a king is only be praise worthy when he follows Raj-Dharma. If a king attacks his neighbouring Kingdom and killed childrens, women, elderly and common people, then his own people will reject him. In short, principles were forced on the king to follow, not the other way around.
For us the Only King worthy of Praise is Lord Ram.
We respect Buddha but don't workship him, because rejected his duty to his kingdom, to his wife and childrens. That's why in India there is a rule that you can't take Sanyas from life unless your parents approve of this.
Ashoka is called chadaal (the person whose occupation is burn the dead). So, no one likes him. As he killed his 100 brothers to take the throne.

Gayatri has 2 daughters from her marriage to Raden Wijaya, one of them dyah gitarja (Tribuana Tunggadewi), Gayatri wanted to be crowned as a queen, But instead she chose her daughter, because if Gayatri becomes queen After she got rid of Jayanegara (her stepson) then there will be a rebellion...
It was Gayatri's revenge and ambition that inspired Gajah Mada, Gayatri was also the one who instigated and educated Gajah Mada to assassinate Jayanegara (Gayatri's stepson) And become a general To swear to conquer the archipelago of Nusantara, Gayatri was also the one who educated and controlled Dyah Gitarja and Hayam Wuruk (Gayatri's grandson) from behind the scenes.
When Gayatri died Majapahit went into decline, Gayatri chose to become a bhikkhuni Rather than being queen Until she died, she was also the one who Mastermind behind the murder of jayangara.
From her father's ambition Kertanegara, Gayatri made her father's dream come true By doing it behind the scenes as a Mastermind, Gayatri was the one who conquered the archipelago and united it, not gajah mada, gajah mada (gajah It means elephant) was just her mount to make her dream come true.
@@ombotaklicinz0024 "When Gayatri died Majapahit went into decline"
not true. When Gayatri died, her daughter Tribhuwana (as her representative) abdicated the throne and Rajasanagara (Hayam Wuruk) became the king. Rajasanagara's reign was known as the golden period of Majapahit
Terima kasih sudah membuat video yang menceritakan salah satu sejarah kerajaan terbesar di Indonesia!
In fact, the history of Majapahit cannot be separated from Singasari and the kingdoms that existed before. The primary sources for the history of these two kingdoms are the Negarakertagama and Pararaton books. All additions in this comments column are sourced from the narratives of historians who have understood the contents of primary source reading. ((Correction if there is something wrong or missing, let's discuss!)
As a little addition, the spirit of uniting the archipelago is actually in Kertanegara, father of Gayatri Rajapatni, grandfather of Dyah Gitarja (Tribhuwana Wijayatunggadewi). During the succession of kings after the death of Kalagemet (Jayanegara's nickname because he was evil and weak) Gayatri Rajapatni should have ascended the throne, but she refused because she wanted to renounce the world and become a nun.
But that doesn't mean she just left Majapahit. She understood that Singasari and Majapahit were built by two equally powerful clans, descendants of Tunggul Ametung and Ranggah Rajasa. It has become a myth that if Singasari was led by only one descendant of the clan, then its power would not last long. Gayatri understands that she is a descendant of only one clan, while her child, Dyah Gitarja, is a descendant of two clans (Gayatri is a descendant of the Kertanegara, Ametung clan, while Dyah Gitarja's father, Dyah Wijaya, is a descendant of the Rajasa clan).
Gayatri really understands the historical situation where when two clans side by side led Singasari, when Ranggawuni and Mahisa Campaka led it, Singasari was in a period of peace. So, when she decided to become a nun, she also prepared Dyah Gitarja as Majapahit's successor. She also became a mentor to her own daughter. What she did was then also done by Dyah Gitarja for Hayam Wuruk, so that Hayam Wuruk's vision remains the same as the vision of his mother, grandmother and ancestors in uniting the archipelago.
Jayanegara's removal also had something to do with Gajah Mada. He has been the leader of the royal troops since Jayanegara. However, he and Gayatri understood that Jayanegara was not suitable. He is not slandered badly, but is indeed evil and weak. He didn't act wisely like previous kings, instead he loved to tease royal women, no matter whether they were married. One of his many actions was wanting to marry his sisters, Dyah Gitarja and Dyah Wiyat because he didn't want to lose his throne.
When Jayanegara was killed by his healer, Ra Tanca, Gajah Mada immediately killed Ra Tanca so that he was considered a "hero" at that time. Gajah Mada then joined Gayatri's plan in choosing Dyah Gitarja. That's why Dyah Gitarja became a successful successor because she was accompanied by Gayatri, her wise and visionary mother as a mentor and Gajah Mada as a reliable and trustworthy commander. That is why after Hayam Wuruk died, Majapahit began to collaps. Because his successor may not be treated the same as Gayatri accompanying Dyah Gitarja and Dyah Gitarja mentoring Hayam Wuruk. The lack of a patih who was like Gajah Mada also turned out to be a problem because the charisma of the other patihs was not the same as Gajah Mada.
Ditunggu kembali episode yang membahas tentang Indonesia!
as an indonesian im really happy when the narrator said "more videos on indonesian history are on the way" YEAAAY, please do the "Indonesian National Revolution War" against the British Empire and the Netherlands in 1945-1949 !!!
No wars on that period. Just defending the nation
Did your leaders collaborate with the Japanese?
@@bilkishchowdhury8318 nah them japs are spectators, the allies humbled them real quick in '45. we fought with their weapons tho lol
@@bilkishchowdhury8318 No. They were promised independence by Japan after the war. But when Japan surrendered in 15 August 1945, the youths forced the forefathers (especially Soekarno and Hatta) to declare independence apart from Japan intervention. They kidnap them to Rengasdengklok and formed the Declaration of Independence, also the National Flag. Although some Japanese offices helped after the declaration of independence on 17 August 1945, i.e. Admiral Maeda of IJN, but those Japanese officers acted as themselves, not as representative of the Japan military government which at that time was non functional after their surrender to the Allies.
The previous works with Japan before their surrender helped a lot to build the state foundation: the UUD 1945 (The Indonesia Constitution) and Pancasila (the Five Pillars). The hard work i.e. the meetings, discussions, lobbying, documentation, forming, etc being built but not finalised yet. The state foundation work being finalised by Indonesia government on 18 August 1945. One day after the Declaration of Independence.
The Indonesian youths at that time forced the leaders to declare independence rather than waiting, because they were worried about the return of Dutch colonials. Which came true. Netherland Indies Civil Administration (NICA) came along with the British to claim back the Dutch colonial occupation over Netherland Indies (now become Indonesia). Hence the War of Independence 1945-1949.

The ruin of Majapahit is very near from my house. Thanks for your effort in making review about my anchestors , Majapahit. Greeting and much respect from East Java
Despite the current social climate of Indonesia, Majapahit is indeed the "dream" for many Indonesians deep down. Nowdays there's definitely tension between religions and race because of what happened during and after Indonesia's war of independence, but to truly unite that many ethnic and religious group while becoming the masters of the sea is what Indonesia will always strive to do.
Maybe that's the only thing that'll stop the chinese. But i don't think that feeling will last for long. Mpst indonesian muslims are getting radicalized rapidaly asking to destroy pre islam history.
"dream" only for the Javanese, for non-Javanese Indonesian, Majapahit is just invader & colonizer

I as well as most Americans always knew how important Indonesia was without knowing it. Because if I'm not mistaken the spice islands are one of the things that caused the eastern hemispheres first discovery of the America's. One of the things Christopher Columbus was looking for was another way to the spice islands. The whole gold and silver thing came more after the Spanish discovering it's comparative abundance of it.

Our Indonesian philosophy of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika or Unity in Diversity is on our blood,believe in "karma" is inside our soul,no matter what our religion.
That's so cool of you to talk about Indonesia, southeast asian countries histories are really underrated
I really like these videos that leave the western sphere a little and address my favorite part of history with unknown peoples and kingdoms, for more stories about Southeast Asia I hope for one about the origins of the kmer empire or the cholas.
You also have to understand that ancient kingdom ini Java called "Medang" once colonized Cambodia, one of the sons of the Cambodian kingdom named Jayawarman II studied in Java, together with one of the greatest Kings of Medang at that time named "Dharanindra" or Rakai Panunggalan. "Rakai" was the title of Greatest King like "Kahn" in the Mongol Empire.
At that time, Dharanindra did not like war and preferred to supervise the construction of the Borobudur temple.
When there was a rebellion in Cambodia, Jayawarman II was sent by Dharanindra to Cambodia, because he was the son of the Cambodian kingdom which was conquered by Java. After being sent to Cambodia instead of overcoming the rebellion, Jayawarman II instead decided to become "Dewaraja" in the land of his ancestors, then freed himself to rebuild Cambodia and separated from the Medang Kingdom in Java.
Therefore, the style of temple construction in Cambodia like Angkor Wat temple etc was heavily influenced by temples in Java, because at that time Jayawarman II participated in seeing the construction of temples in Java.
Very informative, thank you. As an Albanian, Asian history is barely studied here. On the other hand one appreciates history with age.
I was very impressed and started studying the history of my ancestors, after I met many descendants of the Majapahit kings in East Java, it was very impressive that they preferred to be commoners who worked hard and chose to live without luxury, keeping their ancestral genealogy tightly closed (they still have complete genealogical records their ancestors), and they focus on being a good and simple Muslim. Many people don't recognize them and look down on them when they meet them because of their simple lives, but I'm impressed, they never reply and instead pray for the people who insult them.
Pada paruh kedua abad ke-14, Kerajaan Singapura menjadi kaya raya. Namun keberhasilannya membuat khawatir dua kekuatan regional saat itu, Ayutthaya dari utara dan Majapahit dari selatan. Akibatnya, ibu kota kerajaan yang berbenteng ini diserang oleh setidaknya dua invasi asing sebelum dihancurkan oleh Majapahit pada tahun 1398. Raja Singapura yang kelima dan terakhir, Parameswara melarikan diri ke pantai barat Semenanjung Malaya dan mulai mendirikan Kesultanan Malaka sekitar antara tahun 1400.

20:40 Indeed Majapahit empire plays an important role in Indonesian nation building, as a historical proof to argue for ancient nationhood. Forming a national narrative about the noble, sophisticated, powerful, enlightened, diverse, prosperous, and glorious ancestral empire, the predecessor of modern Indonesian republic. Majapahit for Indonesians is just like Roman Empire for Italians. Thank you for making this video, which made me overwhelmed with emotional feeling, proud yet also sad on how the empire has fallen. It inspire us, Indonesians, to develop our nation to achieve the geopolitical might as powerful and glorious as Majapahit. Indonesia is the reincarnation of Majapahit empire.
Why will you take pride in Kafir kingdom?
Sundanese are not part of Majapahit, we are proud to be Sundanese🤍🖤
Penjelajah misionaris asal Venesia, Odorico Mattiussi da Pordenone mengunjungi Jawa tahun 1321 waktu pemerintahan Jayanagara. Ia mencatat pasukan Mongol kembali datang untuk balas dendam, tetapi berhasil dipukul mundur oleh pihak Majapahit. Hal ini mengulangi kegagalan pada tahun 1293.
"Dan raja ini begitu perkasa sehingga dia sering mengalahkan Khan Agung Cathay [Cina], yang merupakan kaisar terkuat di seluruh dunia.''
Kalau tidak perkasa, lalu apa alasan seorang Prabu Kertanegera sangat berani menghina utusan Kekaisaran Yuan (mongol) adikuasa dunia waktu itu (amerika saat ini)?? cuma ada 2 kemungkinan:
1. Prabu Kertanegara punya kuasa yg sama
2. Mungkin sedang mabuk arak.

Our muslim brothers have the receipt that the Malaysian government is renting that land (Sabah).
The sign of the glory of Singosari (Tumapel) in the Malacca Strait was marked by the placing of the Paduka Amoghapasa or Padang Roco inscription by Sri Krtanagara in 1286 AD.
The meaning of this glory was also expressed when in 1289 AD, a delegation of Kublai Khan, the Great Khan from the Yuan Dynasty of the Mongol-Chinese Empire, namely Men Shi or Meng-qi (孟琪), had tattooed by king Kertanegara on his forehead with a hot iron with the mark of a thief, his face was injured and his ears were cut off, and expelled.
_''Tell your Emperor that Singhasari does not want to be colonized by the Mongols''_ Kertanegara was reluctant to submit to Kublai Khan, the grandson of Genghis Khan.

its an honor that my nation history to be discused in this channel. and i want to add little part to the amazing culturally diverse history of our nation:
The first islamic kingdom in java,its called Demak Kingdom and the first king of Demak is Raden Patah. Raden Patah was the biological son of the last king of the majapahit Brawijaya V. what i said that its not Demak that conquer or destroy the kingdom of Majapahit but it was Demak that succeded the kingdom of Majapahit because Raden Patah was the legitimate heir to Majapahit kingdom. the late king of majapahit,Brawijaya V ,its known as Monk-King so at old age he choose to abdicate his throne and give it to raden patah so he can depart to his long awaited asceticsm. There is no war at the transition of the hindu-budhist era to islamic era in indonesian history. Many account said that the aggresion of Demak that destroyed the kingdom of Majapahit,but in fact it was Raden Patah who save his father,Brawijaya V from the revolt that launched from the client kingdom of kediri whom at that time occupied the Majapahit capital of Trowulan and held Brawijaya V as prisoner.

Some would argue that Demak did not invade, but trying to return the Throne to the rightful heir as it was usurped - again - by Prince of Kediri.
Sultan of Demak himself was the child of concubine of the late Majapahit king, so he also have the claim to the throne
Yups... Raden Patah, the first Sultan in Java island, is the son of Brawijaya (the last king of Majapahit)...

The way Majapahit navy used the cetbang cannons were unlike the more modern European navy which placed them semi permanently at the cannon windows at the side of the ship.
A cetbang can be quickly disassembled, carried and operated by only two people and can be placed strategically at any part of the ship. Their main function is, instead of attacking enemy's hull, they will first attack enemy's deck and sail from close range when both ships are next to each other, to both render their ship immobile and provide preliminary assault. Then after that they can either deploy the navy troops or just continue with bombarding the ship's hull until it sinks.
This assault tactics proved to be so effective the Majapahit navy were unbeatable for more than 200 years, not even the mighty Mongolian empire were able to challenge them at the time.

As an Indonesian, we always learn the history of our nation (Which is always the case), starting from the hindu-buddhism kingdoms, then the sultanates, until its changes into what we see today in Indonesia. And to be honest, as someone who likes to study history, I'm used to not like studying my own history, perhaps because it is always repeated during our school times that some of us might saw it as boring, therefore leaning more towards the world history, which I did. But today, that all changed thanks to your video. It really open my eyes and my mind once again about how magnificent Indonesian histories are, yet there are still people that still don't know about it, even us Indonesians included. Thank you for making study of history more fun and easily understandable. Matur Suksma (Means "Thank you" in Balinese) ^^
