Hey, how can I suggest themes for Extra History? I would love to see episodes about Dom Pedro II, last Brazilian Emperor, its a wonderful story known by so little people, even Brazilians. I love your show, thank you for teaching me so much about the world.
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.
Tughril Mk. IX The "maja" of course being a kind of fruit (Aegle marmelos), for those who may not know. (sincerely, a Malaysian - that kingdom's part of our history too.)
We do have quite number, just few willing to promote them and having interest on them. Nagarakartagama, sutasoma, pararaton, kakawin ramayana, kakawin bharatayudha, kakawin arjunawiwaha, serat centhini, ammanagappa, macapat are just naming few that i remember.
Majapahit came from the word Maja which is a fruit that's so bitter (in Indonesian, bitter means pahit). So, in conclusion, Majapahit means a bitter fruit that was found at the place where Majapahit was constructed.
How majapahit formed "Hmm sir looks at those fruits" "Hmm what a weird looking maja fruit" "Lemme eat that *eat* pfft what a sour fruit bruh disgusting" "Hmm i think i got idea..what about we make a kingdom that name taken from this fruit?" " *YES* "
As an Indonesian I'm surprised yet greatly appreciated the coverage of Majapahit history Also Shaivite Buddhism (as you mentioned as "Hindu Buddhism") opens certain possibility that made Islam able to assimilate and transform Indonesians (or strictly Javanese) into a very different Muslim society than anything in the Middle East before
Islam in Indonesia is pretty chill like no mandatory dress code, women have equal rights, can be a government official, and etc. Middle East Islam should take note
The main problem with Middle Eastern Islam that they're not necessarily conservative but to the desperation and despairs brought by various factors, but both Western involvement since Sykes-Picot agreement, the loss of confidence to improve themselves and the provocations to reliving Sectarian conflicts played the most on the stagnating Middle East today
@Jacky Phantom Yes, and not even close to Asia's Roman Empire (outside of territory size, perhaps). Asia's Roman Empire would be either the Mongol, the Indian or one of the Chinese dynasties due to their significant cultural impact on the continent
@Koishi KomeijiNo, Asia's Roman empire would the Mongol empire as a lot of rulers claimed decent from the Mongol. The oteer would be the Caliphate but that only really applies to Muslims.
"They built a really big temple, It might've been their downfall, but who knows?" "Their successors decided to move the capital.... And build an even bigger temple." Okay, then.
2:16 CORRECTION! The distance from northern sumatera (Banda Aceh) to eastern Papua New Guinea (Loani) is the same distance as between London and Jaisalmer, India. The distance beetwen London and Istanbul is not even a half of it.
@@islandsunset Amit Chakraborty You can check it by yourself if you have Google Maps. 6408 km is the distance between the easternmost tip of Papua to the westernmost tip of Sumatra. Almost exactly the same as the distance between London and Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, India (6412 km). For a comparison, distance from Rabat, Morocco to the North Pole is only 6,227 km. If we count only Indonesian territory (from the city of Sabang to Indonesia-PNG border) that would be 5,330 km. London to Istanbul is merely 2,500 km.

As an Indonesian that lives on Java island, I have to admit that Extra Credits knows more about this land's history than most Java-inhabitants do. Thank you for this series!
As an Indonesian, you don't know how much I'm crying saw you finally cover this history. 😭😭😭 And, also my favourite sentence ini Majapahit is, "Bhinneka tunggal ika tan hana dharma mangrva" -- Difference but are the same. There's no duality in Truth.

@@jacoblevenson7934 More exposure as the north and south were Britain's colonies. Indonesian's culture are as old and as interesting as any on the South East Asia.
Indonesia has a super interesting history. 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. Unfortunately people don't know this because despite Indonesia being the 4th most populous country it's under represented in history and news.
Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them. 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. But I believe Aang can save the world.
I wanna draw a manga about this due to globalization. Most people know alot of the history of the west not the East. And most entertainment showcase medieval Europe. I wanna do sth different. Not to say medieval Europe isn’t interesting. I think all of history is interesting if said right with no biases
I think Vinland Saga is a good historical manga and may get even more interesting when the setting shifts to North America where the Vikings will interact with the Natives.
Who will win? An archipelago that have hundred of language, ethnic groups, surrounded by ring of fire and fertile soil and consist of thousands of islands. OR *Some random broke European who just want to find some spices and think this place is India*
Organization Enemy nah it's not true. I don't think my ancestor is dumb. They're great, especially Majapahit's general, Gajah Mada. The first person who unite Indonesia in one.
I find it strange that history and mythology from this culture is so rarely talked about, considering the monumental monuments that they built, and the nigh impossible feats that they accomplished in only a handful of years. Control over an entire trade, especially one as violent as nutmeg, is certainly a rarity in terms of history. Thanks. I now have something new to talk about in Anthropology class.
A lot of the source from this period was lost due to colonialism and islamic influence.. And also our nation weren't too focus on finding the history for now, we are in war with corruption and narcotics, soo maybe after those two were eliminated then the budget for history will come.. Hope so..
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.
@@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.
@@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.
I live in Indonesia now and when I hear that you guys wanted to donate Lombok and I found respect in you guys you guys deserve more subscriber's Keep up the good work
he's the Nobunaga Oda of indonesia, also with the same goal, to unify their country. ironically they shares the same fate, both were betrayed/toppled over by their own ally.
@middle aged man in extreme debt see i don't even remember when do we learn it. i also have an interest in our history especially when it comes to kingdoms but god i can not listen to anything my teacher said back then because it's so boring
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! Even in Malaysian textbooks, not much of Srivijaya gets covered, only names of inscriptions and where they were found - makes learning ASEAN history really dry, which is a shame :/ Thank you for doing this!
oml i feel ur pain. in indonesian textbooks theres only ever mentioned, "yeah we used to have like 3 kickass kingdoms until the white men came. now lets talk about how the whites are bad and islam is good (and every other religion sucks, despite us being a free multicultural country)" and thats all we ever learn for history.
It gave me cold sweat when the narrator talked about how vast Majapahit is. I mean, imagine, while Rome might have around the same vastness of territory, most of it are land. However, more than 60% of Indonesian archipelago is water and they somehow managed to run such kingdom. The past is amazing when you know how to see it.
Thank you, Extra Credit. Lombok suffers a lot from several earthquake happened in the last few weeks. Our brothers and sisters there need as many helps as they need.
Russian Empire, Soviet Union, Russia: Hold my Vodka, You might be the biggest, but you can't defend it and I can still maintain it even though it's reduced. your are all loser
Ah, Majapahit. Beating mongol empire in their own conquest game. As they say in china; All warfare is based on deception. It's like poetry, they rhyme.
It was easy man.Every one could do that.Making the whole Mongol soldier got drunk and then attacking them.It was easy.But I still wonder why the Mongols didn't retaliate?
Prambanan was completed before Mataram capital moved to east. Prambanan was built as Hindu version of Sewu temple, just a few hundred meters north of Prambanan. Sewu temple complex is the 2nd largest Javanese Buddhist structure after Borobudur.
Waterbending! Lords of Water indeed. Also nice to finally hear of a Hindu Buddhist Kingdom in Extra History. Do a few episodes on the Vijaynagara Empire too!
This is the dearest documentary to me on this channel. Being an Indian Hindu, its great to gain some insights about the last great Hindu Empires of South East Asia. The Legendary Majapahit!
Polynesians are the _descendants_ of (Proto) Austronesians. Not their ancestors. Polynesians are basically the result of intermarriage of Austronesians with Papuans and Melanesians. The language and culture is still almost wholly Austronesian, but genetically, they've been mixed with the locals they came across in Papua. It's similar to the Malagasy of Madagascar, whose culture and language is still mostly Austronesian, but genetically they've mixed with later East African settlers.
If you, Indonesians, actually learn the history of these kingdoms, you guys may actually feel the drama and betrayal for the sake of ruling the empire. There are many legends and also historical facts to blow your mind in the past of Indonesia.
I wish we do learn more of these kingdoms. It teaches so much about the importance of unity equal, if not more, than the independence struggles history our education emphasize ridiculously. The histories of ancient kingdoms in our education are more like foot notes, just dates and markers, lacking rich narratives and nuances. I dont know if it has improves nowadays
When the first China's Journey to the West failed miserably as the appointed monk failed to translate the Tripitaka properly from Hindi to Chinese, the second journey was launched from Fujian via maritime trade route where the appointed I-Tsing monk arrived in capital city of Sriwijaya, the Palembang city. He was shocked to find there were millions of monks from around the World at that time, Chinese, Indian, Sriwijayan, Thai, Champa, Burmese, and lots others. The history he wrote was fascinating that the land was flourish with food, gold, spices and many things that make all resident in that land very happy and prosperous. He also recorded that when Sriwijayan King was insulted by Champa king, he sent his best 200 troops to invade the land in the morning. By evening, the troops returned with the head of the Champa king and took hostage of his son. It proved how powerful Sriwijayan Empire at that time.
PotatoEskimos Nope, no proof that Srivijaya begin in Sumatera. it probably starts in northern Malay peninsular like Kedah/Chaiya.. please read Takashi Suzuki - The History of Srivijaya. new updated theory.
@@ericwong4213 ethnically they are "Melayu", but already assimilated or produced a sub ethnic called "Sumatra Melayu" (fyi im half Sumatra Melayu and Javanese) noted by how Batak folks are no longer resembling the "Melayu" that lives in Malay Peninsula, the same as South Sumatranese, they are no longer resembling to that of Peninsular Melayu
It's funny when based on archeology, it was found that Indonesian natives thousands of years ago migrated north, but the Malays keep saying it was them who migrated south first.

My foreign friends laughed how intergalactic spacefaring aliens indulge in spice trade instead of weapons and others. Well, they simply didn't know history.
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 🙄
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.
It should have been obvious from the structure of the sentence. You wouldn't say "They and their ancestors WILL make it their empire" since you wouldn't be using future tense to talk about what you ancestors did lol.
Also surprised the video didn't mention Madagascar, which was also settled by Austronesians - the modern population is genetically 50% East African, 50% South East Asian and their language Malagasy is very similar to languages spoken in Southern Kalimantan. Those Austronesians got around!
After thousand of years it's pretty hard to pinpoint the descendants since a lot of immigrants come to Java and mingle and mixed with everyone already there.
@@nguyensonbinh8621southern half of vietnam were originally champa people who followed a kind of hinduism , they are one of the longest dynasties in asia sadly they were conquered and forcefully Sinicized and assimilated by the chinese die viet kingdom to form modern vietnam
In schools, at least in my time, we spend some chapters in history lesson dedicated about these 2 kingdoms. For me personally, majapahit is a bit more interesting because of those gajah mada thingy, and particularly how the kingdom itself was born from the total mess and kill em all singhasari kingdom. But for some reason, we didn’t really learn about it from the trading aspect, so this is quite new even for me. Can’t wait for the next episode.
True, our school history curriculum is a bit scattered on this topic. I learned a lot more from youtube than from 12 years of elementary-middle-high school history lessons.
you know we all love to share our expirence and diss about schools, so yea this is preatty new to me. in fact i didn't learn about mataram. so its nice to know more about our ancestors history. but its sad that we learned it from an outsider
Hanif Pandu exactly! We only learn about Gajah Mada and his famous pledge, but barely learned about the politics with its neighboring kingdom, and how they conquer the entire archipelago.
History lesson and books in school are overrated. You'll get much more from other sources like Wikipedia and those expensive doorstoppers you found in bookstore.
Thanks for making people aware of the earthquakes and chance to donate. The quakes have done a ton of damage to Lombok and even in nearby island of Bali we have felt major tremors multiple times. The people are wonderful so thanks to everyone who donates. THANK YOU!
Singapore was a pirate nest pre-British colonial. This is has been mentioned by a story of a Sriwijayan prince-in-exile who decided not to settle there but further north to Malacca, later he converted to Islam and build a muslim kingdom named Malacca. Another account was by a Chinese admiral, Zheng He, who defeated a Chinese pirate around the waters of Singapore.
@@jansenjunaedi4926nope. Singapore was a principality or small kingdom prior to majapahit and ayothya attack on the Inland. Two gigantic forces duked it out several times. But in the end the majapahit successfully won. And as singapore were too tiny to be used as a base for their navy armada. Too difficult to be defended. They burn the city state to the ground and brought singaporean nobles as political hostages in java. The majapahit then pushed north as far as pahang and kelantan until the kra isthmus. It was easyly more defendable There. And that area could host larger navy with the support of local rice paddies which wouldnt be sufficient and not possible in the former singapore or tumasik.
This video is really good history teller... Seriously I'm Indonesian my teacher tought me before and gave me a lot of test about majapahit and sriwijaya but I still couldn't understand very well,but thank you this video explained it all
Kind of. one of the factor is that now that we're older we can understand the history better than when we were at middle school, and some text books that used were horribly convoluted in chronological order that made it hard for us to understand on the order of events that happened.
Tbh, the material for history in school is very fast paced. We cover: Hindhu kingdom, Buddhist kingdom, Islam kingdom and then the Dutch and Japanese colonial. Heck, in high school the teachers skip World War lesson. At least Majapahit is famous enough to remember, because my memory is hazy with the rest.
As a Malaysian I gotta say that I was very excited that Extra Credits would finally be talking about the Kingdom of Majapahit. It's legacy still endures throughout the Nusantara to this day.
This explains a WHOLE lot about the Indonesian culture, here in Indonesia you can see gateways made with volcanic rock, and they almost all look the same, and it also explains why Bali has a mostly Hindu and Buddhist population, despite the Muslim majority in the country JOB WELL DONE TO THE TEAM AT EXTRA CREDITS
I actually learned of Borobudur from games like civilization. But Prambanan was a neat surprise, I never knew there was a "one up" on the former via building the latter.
You should come to Indonesia sometimes to see these temple relics. Book at plane to a city known as Jogjakarta, the place is sprawling with foreign tourist like in Bali. We have yearly Jazz festival during summer held at Prambanan temple courtyard. These two temples are reachable from Jogjakarta.
@@flightlesscoffeebirdboy9655 Sadly a lot of the statues in Borobudur are either decapitated or scraped off to be sold. At least Prambanan seems to be more preserved, especially with the Ramayana theatrical dance held there regularly.

You want diversity? Go to Indonesia, they also got one of the best food rich of spice and many delicious traditional treats I went there a lot with my family

Talking about the spice trade without making a Dune reference is like doing Tali's loyalty mission in Mass Effect 2 without giving her a hug; sure, it can be done, but it just doesn't feel right to a lot of people. Edit: I'm aware that there's a Dune reference in the video. Believe it or not, there are people who hold off on posting comments until after they've watched the video.

The old narrator walked off and made his own channel, where he reuploaded some of his old videos. I can't remember the name of it, but that's the most I know
I live so close to Borobudur and Prambanan! There are also lots of small temples beside them, with some are currently under repair to restore their original beauty, like the temple of Kalasan that should shine under full moon!
@RC Idk man, just come anyway. The ticket is cheap and they also have guides 😁 They've finished repairing Kalasan temple. But I don't go out to temples at full moon, so I don't really know if it can really shine haha
@RC There's a hill so it's a bit impossible haha. But the temple can be seen from intercity road, so maybe if I pass there at night I can see it it really shine or not 😆😆

The main problem with Middle Eastern Islam that they're not necessarily conservative but to the desperation and despairs brought by various factors, but both Western involvement since Sykes-Picot agreement, the loss of confidence to improve themselves and the provocations to reliving Sectarian conflicts played the most on the stagnating Middle East today

The distance from northern sumatera (Banda Aceh) to eastern Papua New Guinea (Loani) is the same distance as between London and Jaisalmer, India. The distance beetwen London and Istanbul is not even a half of it.
Up
That doesn't feel right. What's the distance?
london to istanbul is about 1900 miles ( 3.000-4.000KM) banda aceh to loani is about 6.000 to 7.000KM
@@islandsunset Amit Chakraborty You can check it by yourself if you have Google Maps. 6408 km is the distance between the easternmost tip of Papua to the westernmost tip of Sumatra.
Almost exactly the same as the distance between London and Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, India (6412 km). For a comparison, distance from Rabat, Morocco to the North Pole is only 6,227 km.
If we count only Indonesian territory (from the city of Sabang to Indonesia-PNG border) that would be 5,330 km.
London to Istanbul is merely 2,500 km. Indonesia actuall spans almost as big as Russia, but it appears smaller in map because of the misleading Mercator projection.

Indonesia has a super interesting history. 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. Unfortunately people don't know this because despite Indonesia being the 4th most populous country it's under represented in history and news.

THE SUN IS A DEADLY LAZER
I find it strange that history and mythology from this culture is so rarely talked about, considering the monumental monuments that they built, and the nigh impossible feats that they accomplished in only a handful of years. Control over an entire trade, especially one as violent as nutmeg, is certainly a rarity in terms of history. Thanks. I now have something new to talk about in Anthropology class.
A lot of the source from this period was lost due to colonialism and islamic influence.. And also our nation weren't too focus on finding the history for now, we are in war with corruption and narcotics, soo maybe after those two were eliminated then the budget for history will come..
Hope so..
If youre not from that area of the world it makes sense
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.
@@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.
@@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.

Polynesians are the _descendants_ of (Proto) Austronesians. Not their ancestors. Polynesians are basically the result of intermarriage of Austronesians with Papuans and Melanesians. The language and culture is still almost wholly Austronesian, but genetically, they've been mixed with the locals they came across in Papua. It's similar to the Malagasy of Madagascar, whose culture and language is still mostly Austronesian, but genetically they've mixed with later East African settlers.

When the first China's Journey to the West failed miserably as the appointed monk failed to translate the Tripitaka properly from Hindi to Chinese, the second journey was launched from Fujian via maritime trade route where the appointed I-Tsing monk arrived in capital city of Sriwijaya, the Palembang city. He was shocked to find there were millions of monks from around the World at that time, Chinese, Indian, Sriwijayan, Thai, Champa, Burmese, and lots others. The history he wrote was fascinating that the land was flourish with food, gold, spices and many things that make all resident in that land very happy and prosperous. He also recorded that when Sriwijayan King was insulted by Champa king, he sent his best 200 troops to invade the land in the morning. By evening, the troops returned with the head of the Champa king and took hostage of his son. It proved how powerful Sriwijayan Empire at that time.

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...

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.

Descendants not ancestors. The austronesians came first then the Polynesians. So they are the ancestors of the Polynesians not the other way around
It should have been obvious from the structure of the sentence. You wouldn't say "They and their ancestors WILL make it their empire" since you wouldn't be using future tense to talk about what you ancestors did lol.
According to the Polynesians article from Wikipedia, Polynesians are a subset of the Austronesians. So we are pretty much all like "cousins".
Something to save for the Lies episode!
Also surprised the video didn't mention Madagascar, which was also settled by Austronesians - the modern population is genetically 50% East African, 50% South East Asian and their language Malagasy is very similar to languages spoken in Southern Kalimantan. Those Austronesians got around!

In schools, at least in my time, we spend some chapters in history lesson dedicated about these 2 kingdoms. For me personally, majapahit is a bit more interesting because of those gajah mada thingy, and particularly how the kingdom itself was born from the total mess and kill em all singhasari kingdom. But for some reason, we didn’t really learn about it from the trading aspect, so this is quite new even for me. Can’t wait for the next episode.
For sure bro all i learn about majapahit in school is the wars it waged, gajah mada and the decline never about the economy or the trading
True, our school history curriculum is a bit scattered on this topic. I learned a lot more from youtube than from 12 years of elementary-middle-high school history lessons.
you know we all love to share our expirence and diss about schools, so yea this is preatty new to me. in fact i didn't learn about mataram. so its nice to know more about our ancestors history. but its sad that we learned it from an outsider
Hanif Pandu exactly! We only learn about Gajah Mada and his famous pledge, but barely learned about the politics with its neighboring kingdom, and how they conquer the entire archipelago.

Woah... Majapahit Empire... Can’t wait to see how it also affected Singapore pre-1819
Came across a headline from The Straits Times once about the discovery of Majapahit-era artefacts in SG.
Singapore was a pirate nest pre-British colonial.
This is has been mentioned by a story of a Sriwijayan prince-in-exile who decided not to settle there but further north to Malacca, later he converted to Islam and build a muslim kingdom named Malacca.
Another account was by a Chinese admiral, Zheng He, who defeated a Chinese pirate around the waters of Singapore.
@@jansenjunaedi4926nope. Singapore was a principality or small kingdom prior to majapahit and ayothya attack on the Inland. Two gigantic forces duked it out several times. But in the end the majapahit successfully won. And as singapore were too tiny to be used as a base for their navy armada. Too difficult to be defended. They burn the city state to the ground and brought singaporean nobles as political hostages in java.
The majapahit then pushed north as far as pahang and kelantan until the kra isthmus. It was easyly more defendable There. And that area could host larger navy with the support of local rice paddies which wouldnt be sufficient and not possible in the former singapore or tumasik.

It's both.
it's true, tho. it barely covered small parts about Majapahit because our teacher focused more on the history after these kingdoms and Dutch Colonials
Kind of. one of the factor is that now that we're older we can understand the history better than when we were at middle school, and some text books that used were horribly convoluted in chronological order that made it hard for us to understand on the order of events that happened.
Tbh, the material for history in school is very fast paced. We cover: Hindhu kingdom, Buddhist kingdom, Islam kingdom and then the Dutch and Japanese colonial.
Heck, in high school the teachers skip World War lesson.

This explains a WHOLE lot about the Indonesian culture, here in Indonesia you can see gateways made with volcanic rock, and they almost all look the same, and it also explains why Bali has a mostly Hindu and Buddhist population, despite the Muslim majority in the country JOB WELL DONE TO THE TEAM AT EXTRA CREDITS
yes, we indonesian can waterbend.
But im Air bender Wait Air Is Watter Lol
Everythig changed after fire Nation attack
Lol
But most people cant swim
I am a fire bender
Wow, I never knew about Borobudur or Prambanan. I'm so glad I follow this series - I've learned of so many fascinating new cultures.
I actually learned of Borobudur from games like civilization. But Prambanan was a neat surprise, I never knew there was a "one up" on the former via building the latter.
You should come to Indonesia sometimes to see these temple relics. Book at plane to a city known as Jogjakarta, the place is sprawling with foreign tourist like in Bali. We have yearly Jazz festival during summer held at Prambanan temple courtyard.
These two temples are reachable from Jogjakarta.
@@flightlesscoffeebirdboy9655 Sadly a lot of the statues in Borobudur are either decapitated or scraped off to be sold. At least Prambanan seems to be more preserved, especially with the Ramayana theatrical dance held there regularly.
@@flightlesscoffeebirdboy9655 wait there are jazz festivals?!? How have I never heard of that?
Prambanan actually the biggest tample in indonesia becouse its a complex
And try to read about mount padang
"Fire nation vs water tribe"
What a good and complete story telling than in my classlesson....thx so much....
But the true Fire Nation is Germany
@@breaderikthegreat3224 actually indonesia is both water and fire nation because the location of its country is part of the ring of fire, check google what is the ring of fire
My respect for Indonesians had increased 10 fold after watching this. Fort hem competition meant building a better structure (in contrast to destruction of previous structures routinely observed in MiddleEast).
Actually the length between northern sumatra to the eastern papua is *twice* the length between london and istanbul
Yeah very long distance :)
but sometimes they just make us look short so we may intimidate
Eastern papua is not part of indonesia, right?
the eastern is papua new guinea which is an independent country but they were part of indonesia@@Ujick46
You want diversity? Go to Indonesia, they also got one of the best food rich of spice and many delicious traditional treats
I went there a lot with my family
That I agree!
Diversity,really?? Racism is happening every where man.Conservatives are tearing up Indonesia.Much like what Indians did after their independence and Singapore
@@handywijaya3689 As much as I want to disagree, you're absolutely right. With diversity comes racism. I felt it first hand, and it looks like you did too.
にゃあエイリアンMeowAlien but be careful..there is so many racist people in there..especially toward chinese

Talking about the spice trade without making a Dune reference is like doing Tali's loyalty mission in Mass Effect 2 without giving her a hug; sure, it can be done, but it just doesn't feel right to a lot of people.
Edit: I'm aware that there's a Dune reference in the video. Believe it or not, there are people who hold off on posting comments until after they've watched the video.
Give them some time. They are probably building up to it.
The non-euclidian maths series had no Chtulhu reference until the 3rd episode.
edit after actually watching the video: There it is at 6:07
Yeah they missed a perfect reference.
Correction 5:45 there's Paul atreidies.
Let the spice flow!
I don't always hug tali.
If you live in malaysia (like me) when you are "tingkatan 2" you have to learn this so i recommended all the tingkatan 2 out there to watch this (this will come on exam). Thanks EXTRA CREDITS!
This looks like a perfect topic for a naval-themed East Asia DLC for CK2
Many people dont even like india added and asking for southeast asia is a stretch, well theres a mod that include all known world tho
Well, I'm here, at the crotch of Ming's army, still hoping there's DLC for EU4.
The Spice Must Flow.
Joe Andaru Thats because India is boring this is actually an interesting concept for an eastern merchant republic.
If they don't add a Dusunic paganism for Sabah, I am not interested.
@@Kunumbah1 never really play as indian, for me they are just place to conquer when playing muslim lol, tibet too just make more border gore

who didnt forget about the majapahit?Indonesian,Malaysian,Timor leste and singapore
A empire that ruined other nation
Malaysia has very little to do with Majapahit. Only Srivijaya.
@@potatoeskimos Majapahit Owned Malaysia and in fact, many so called Malay in Malaysia were sent from Java, Bugis, etc during Majapahit kingdom.
@@ditaanggraeni1683 No, you got your history mixed up. Malays migrated to Peninsular Malaysia during the sacked of Srivijaya by Rajendra Chola and Javanese invasion of Sumatra
@@potatoeskimos Nope. You are the one who should learn more about your own history and your own ancestors.
I really happy to be able to observe Indonesian history viewed from other countries. And how our history and Dune's made up history rely on the same thing, the spice must flow (and i love how you guys embrace the Dune reference)
how don't we learn this in school? It's basically the Mesopotamia on the other side of the world. We hardly learn about other European countries and ancient Egypt, otherwise a little about the americas with mentioning Australia. Apparently the entire asian side of the world doesn't exist or has no history, according to western education
JayFolipurba thats common
In history class you only learn about your own country. Canadian history is so boring.
Eurocentrism.
@@Sayemsinha Sadly in Indonesia, they don't teach it at college. They do teach this on school, but *SKIP ANY WORLD WAR HISTORY*
Indonesian education barely mention the World Wars
@@AbyssWatcher745 True, but I heard the children finally learn about it
I guess most of country focus way too much on their own country.
*Indonesia kingdom history intensifies*
Props to the new crew, the quality is high and I'm enjoying the series a lot!
What happened to old crew? I'm out of the loop I guess.
The old narrator walked off and made his own channel, where he reuploaded some of his old videos. I can't remember the name of it, but that's the most I know
Whats his channel name?
@@Dozeji is it about history too or games?
Guys its this one it’s a gaming channel ruclips.net/video/BcDbEvKTzvg/видео.html
I didn't know that these people back then used Infinity Gaunlet and Light Sabers
lmao
Yes my ancestors did use them earlier than Thanos and some Star Wars dudes
And they were water benders
@@yeastnt8518 actually the water benders was Sriwijaya. Mat Haram and Bitter Modjo was earth benders.
I live so close to Borobudur and Prambanan! There are also lots of small temples beside them, with some are currently under repair to restore their original beauty, like the temple of Kalasan that should shine under full moon!
@RC Idk man, just come anyway. The ticket is cheap and they also have guides 😁
They've finished repairing Kalasan temple. But I don't go out to temples at full moon, so I don't really know if it can really shine haha
@RC There's a hill so it's a bit impossible haha. But the temple can be seen from intercity road, so maybe if I pass there at night I can see it it really shine or not 😆😆
As a proud Tamil people... We(chola empire) have a great relationship and trade with Srivijaya empire... (Their kings come to our land for festivals and we go theirs land..)
But unfortunately dominance over trade routes lead to war between us.....😅😔
Richest lead to war 🤓
