  The history of South east Asia is most underrated in the world Their ancient monuments like Borobudur Angkor wat Pagan are just some of the greatest architecture feats of the world

  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 <br><br>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 🇵🇭🤝🇮🇩

  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 &quot;Arya&quot;, 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.

  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.

  I&apos;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&apos;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.<br><br>Bhineka Tunggal Ika - Menangkan Pancasila

  As Bill Wurtz put it: &quot;Oh! Look who controls all the islands. It’s the Mahajapit! [X] Majahapit! [X] Mapajahit! [X] Mahapajit! [X] Mapajahit! [X] Maja-pahit? [✓]&quot;

  Fun fact : Why the kingdom was called Majapahit?<br><br>By litetal translation. Majapahit consist of two words, Maja (name of fruit, similar to Quince) and Pahit (Bitter in Indomalayan languages)<br><br>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<br><br>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 &quot;may this fruit will remind us our bitter struggle, before we will enjoy it sweetness&quot;<br><br>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<br><br>Now i can&apos;t say whether it&apos;s historically accurate or not (i just read it in one source). However, i think the morale lesson is spmething we needed

  Live in Indonesia for over 10 years, my wife is Indonesian and I&apos;ll likely never live anywhere else. Yes Indonesia has it&apos;s problems, but it&apos;s the best country in the world in my opinion with the best people. Much love for this video and the intro especially ❣
