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. And he was also the one who designed the "Trojan horse letter" to cooperate with Majapahit in attacking Kediri, then later expelling the Mongols.

Once you guys are done with the Majapahit Empire, could you possibly do the Kongo Empire. Its a really cool kingdom that stretched from southern Gabon to northern Angola, from the coast to the Kwango river. Most people don't really know about central Africa before colonization, and it was a large trading Empire with several factions and royal dramas much like the Majapahit. I'm loving this series so far, as Majapahit is one of my favorite historical empires, and I'd love to see your take on the extensive history of Kongo.

Well, we don't know much of the Kongo before the contact with the Portuguese. But a focus on the early christian kings would be interesting.

[@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.

The whole thing about Mongols being confused was just hilarious af.

[@Gobtasama69]

Mongols never succeed conquer java, only few of them went back to china after backstabbed by Raden Vijaya, Including their 2 generals (then punished by kublai khan). So its not accomplished at all. This made khan very upset. did mongols never came back? Of course they did! But they always lose battle in the sea cz majapahit later on had warships named "jung java" a great ship double sized than europe ship lead by navy admiral Arya Nala Mandalika the righthand of general Gajahmada (well, mongols without horse plus in the sea is nothing) In java, politics and power are very intrigue so many betrayal and vengeance. Just like Games of throne

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.

Frankly, the way the chinese dealt with the checklist of installing a new leader reminds me a lot on how my DnD party does their job "Hey, we did stop the dragon from destroying the city!" "Yeah, by allying yourself with the dragon and burning down the city yourself." "Just technicalities."

[@aloden500]

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?

Actually, in that time mongol had two failed grand sea expeditions, expedition to bring down japan's empire and this expedition... Their expedition in japan was stopped in tsushima island, and other in java... This was the main reason, khan stopped his ambition to expand his kingdom by sea, and focuses on land expansion, which no one couldnt match them (except the mamlukes on the egypt)

[@jonadabtheunsightly]

Java is practically surrounded by larger islands. Sumatra, Borneo, and Sulawesi are all pretty much next door, and the massive island of New Guinea is also not particularly far away.

Thank you for uploading this video, this part and singasari part has been always my favorite since middle school. Maybe you could explain a bit more about singasari, as their history is full of intrigue and vengeance(their succession basically always been done through murder) and how the founder of singasari murdered the previous king with a borrowed knife and stole his wives and kingdom

Been following Extra History since the beginning and I have to say, it's always enjoyable and informative! Thank you for that :D and I would like to make a request, if you ever feel like it, do a series on Grand Duke Vytautas the Great, I believe that it has huge potential for the format you are going for. Lithuanian history is rich and interesting, yet it seems like it's not exactly known about in the world. Anyway, you are the best!

[@jeanetten.s.8557]

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.

that's not east or west, unless your map is upside down 1:23

[@leeboy26]

Maybe it's an obscure reference to the Krakatoa: East of Java movie... or just a mistake.

[@gunting]

Because the WorldMap centuries ago during this mongol time, were upside down. It was called "Tabula Rogeriana", which the south was drawn at the top. The map is oriented with the North at the bottom. It remained the most accurate world map for the next three centuries. Additional Notes: This is more a linguistics question. There are languages that use absolute directionals (north, south, east, west) and those that use relative directionals (in front, behind, left, right). Some use both, some use one or the other exclusively, and some use one set based off the other set, so you might want to ask on /r/linguistics, but I'll give you a prime example: Some oceanic languages use absolute terms of direction that are primarily oriented to the island. So one of their primary axis of direction is 'landward or inland versus seaward. Also of interest is languages that lack relative (left, right, front, behind) directional terms, and always use absolute terms (NSEW). This is true for some Australian languages. English is very used to thinking of North as the primary direction for orienting oneself, but other languages orient themselves differently. To give another example, for Mongolian the prime direction is South, and the terms for 'left' and 'right' derive from facing south and then saying 'east handed' for 'left' and 'west handed' for 'right'.

[@saretgnasoh7351]

Maybe from kan view of point

[@veratrindye7292]

Doesn't make Sumatra "east" or Bali "west", though.

[@saretgnasoh7351]

Veratrin Burgers Java located at China's south. From china location when the army go to Java, Sumatra is at java's east, and bali is at java's west. North, south, west and east is depend on your location
