The Indonesian Kingdoms didn't leave behind a large number of written records. As an Indonesian, I consider that to be a tragic situation. The Indonesian Archipelago has been a part of international trade for a very long time. The fact that we didn't have enough written records to even solidify our understanding of kingdoms like Sriwijaya and Majapahit is really sad. oh and a bit of trivia, Majapahit literally means Bitter Maja in English.

They colonized Madagascar, built massive temples, have a super varied history, a culture made up of tens of thousands of different traditions and different cultures, built massive trading kingdoms, advanced shipbuilding and seafaring in the regions, and created massive amounts of art. The there is also incredibly interesting. It's a mix of Persian, Indian, Chinese, the various former trading kingdoms south of China, and indigenous peoples. There's a massive amount of history that took place on the islands and massive number of different peoples.

[@MrMarinus18]

The biggest determining factor is how much a civilization leaves behind. Egypt is so often talked about because pretty much every nation around it made very extensive records and the Greeks were in love with it. Also one civilization that left even more is the Roman empire who's history was preserved for a very long time by both the Byzantines and the Catholic Church and who left thousands of records and hundreds of ruins behind. The idea that fact and fiction should be completely separate didn't really begin until well into middle aged Europe. Even then it wasn't firmly established until the enlightenment in the 18th century. Many ancient civilizations including the Romans and the Greeks didn't consider the embellishment of history to be wrong. What mattered to them was that the people who read those records got the proper idea and got the right lesson. People were supposed to learn from history and that was what was most important.

[@aasamspb967]

@@MrMarinus18 I mean look at India. They were one of the greatest, the one that should be the most talked about. But they're not. Why because many of their history were destroyed by the Islam rulers and British ( mostly by islam). So maybe that could've happened to this empire's history.

[@themercifulguard3971]

@@aasamspb967 Muslims didn't erase records or history for the most part. Indian Islamic empires were one of the most lettered and bookly states in the world at the time. Also, you gotta remember that Indian Muslims were also victims of historical ignorance, like a huge load of it because the Mughals were the most powerful state in the subcontinent at the time. You should seriously blame it on the British because they legitimately created a system to keep the Indian Muslims and Hindus ignorant and deluded.

Oh man, I've been hoping that you could cover a Southeast Asian dynasty for a long time, and I'm glad that you took the dive into Majapahit's predecessors too!

Once upon a time, a huge archipelago, placed in the equator, called Nusantara was lived in peace. Most of them are 'Sea People' and control the trade route in the Eastern Sea. But all the peace was gone when the European Scumbag called Dutch attacks. More that 300 years this nation was suffering, and then comes the 'Older Brother' from the place where sun is rise every morning. They cast out the Dutch. But soon after that, they ruled this nation and bring another suffering. But they didn't last longer. The people now start a rebellion and cast out this 'Older Brother' back to their island, and then once again this nation declared their independent, under the Democratic State, and the years after, this nation thriving again to glories once more... To be continued... Edit: This could be a good story... I wonder if someone with talent will bring this to life in a form of novel or manga 🙄

But when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang, and although his airbending skills are great, he still has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone.

Yeah. Well Frank Herbert chose the term spice for a reason. It is more a referrer to the old spice trade that made empires in the past. But also a referrer to oils impact on the world today. After all it the flow of oil that allows for global travel. Just like the flow of spice allows for galactic travel. I like this double reference as makes you think not only about the colonial trade of old, but also how similar our world today is to world of the past. We after all often see our selves as having moved away from the primitive empire building of the past forgetting how we are at risk at committing the same atrocities again in the name of controlling resources.

Thank you so much for summarize Indonesian historic kingdom and make it so fun and easy to understand.

History isn't my cup of tea I thought. But, now what I learned before make sense because of your video. You're right, without Sriwijaya, Mataram, the other Indonesia's kingdom, and the biggest of them all, Majapahit, there would never be Indonesia right now.
