Kingdom of Majapahit - Wrath of the Khan - Part 2 - Extra History

[@extrahistory]

And the story of the kingdom of Majapahit finally continues! The Mongol forces came to the island of Java--the King of Singhasari had defied them for too long. But they were VERY unprepared to reckon with the clever and cunning Raden Vijaya...

That internal dispute inside Singasari is actually a very, very, very, very, very, very, very long drama. Even historians are still confused on what actually happened. All of those Ken Arok stories, oh boy...

[@GigawingsVideo]

The way to describe Ken Arok: He let his dick do the talking.

[@r31ya]

Basically 2 family killing each other and taking turn on being the current ruler. Legend has it that Ken Arok, the throne unsurper, ask a blacksmith Kebo Ijo to forged a blade to kill the current ruler of singasari and take his throne and his wife. Unfortunately the blacksmith is behind schedule and that enraged Ken Arok which then kill the blacksmith with the unfinished blade. In his dying moment, the blacksmith cursed the blade, "that blade will kill 7 generation of your bloodline". Well, Ken Arok ignore the warning and kill the king with the blade, take his throne and his wife. But the king son still alive and sometime later get his revenge and kill Ken Arok, legend has it with the same Unfinished blade. Later Ken Arok son did the samething to the king son and again later the king grandson kill ken arok son and so on for 7 generation as the curse fulfilled... The legend part is the blade curse, and the 7 generation killing each other is historical fact.

[@glizycor4748]

The family killing almost ends at Ranggawuni, the 4th king but thenhis son kertanegara get killed by Jayakatwang and so Raden wijaya, Kertanegara's son succeded his revenge with the help of Mongols. Its all just a chain of killing lol

In this history there are important figures who are forgotten. The mastermind behind the collapse of Singasari was a strategist named Arya Wiraraja, he was a person who had been transferred by Kertanegara.

Once you guys are done with the Majapahit Empire, could you possibly do the Kongo Empire.

[@tec-jones5445]

@@TheFiresloth true, but artifacts and oral accounts do show it had history before contact, just to what extent is unclear to say. It was stated to have formed around 1390(a hundred years before the Portuguese) and lasted as an independent state until 1891, when it was split between Portugal, France, and King Leopold of Belgium. They, and their neighbors Kuba, Lunda, Luba, and Ndongo, were known for metalworking and raffia cloth textiles throughout central Africa. I don't know everything myself, and I'm fuzzy on the details, which is why I recommended it. You are right though, in the most studied and interesting part of Kongo's history is after Portuguese contact. And I'd love a feature on the Chirstian Kings, as Christianity in Africa is often regarded as solely spreading only after the Scramble.

Man the level of spin doctoring and mental gymnastics those Chinese generals did to get out of having to fulfil inconvenient obligations, you sure they were generals and not politicians? Then again I would love it if more politicians weaselled their way OUT of unwinnable counter-insurgency wars in far away foreign lands instead of INTO them. 😒

I learn more about history than during my time in school, especially about this specific topic which is a shame to be honest and I should've learn more. I would like to say thank you for all of you guys for making a lot of great content!!, Best regards from indonesia:)

[@richelestephensuwita7966]

Thank you for the video. I didn't know how interesting the story is before I saw this. We Indonesians should be learning history this way instead of only memorizing the names of people involved and which events happened in what year. We didn't understand the big picture. The story telling was blunt but closer to reality. Thanks again..

[@ReubenAStern]

Thanks for episode 1 guys. It showed me exactly what kind of thing can build an empire. Great Inspiration for a game I'm planning to m make.

A culture info. The picture of the King of Singasari, magicly turning the Khan into a pig. Might have been reference to something we Indonesians call a "babi ngepet". Which is something that is still rumored to be practiced in the more rural areas of Indonesia. Since traditions are still bearing strong and some mystics know-hows aren't really myths yet.

[@s0ul216]

The history said they mistook the size of Java because the southern Java was unreachable by the sea and only reachable by the land. It took centuries to figure out that Java was the smallest main Island in the archipelago. You can check the map of Java from the early Dutch's occupation to the late Dutch's occupation for further information.
