Know the Old Kingdom Salakanagara in the archipelago

Kerajaan Salakanagara yang belakangan ini dikenal sebagai kerajaan pertama di Nusantara, jauh lebih dulu dari Kerajaan Kutai di Kalimantan yang sebelumnya ditetapkan sebagai kerajaan tertua dan pertama di Nusantara.

But some people still consider that the Kingdom of Salakanagara is a myth, but after reading this article, you may think anything because it is your right.

From ancient artifacts since prehistoric times, it has been proven that the archipelago, already inhabited by human groups since thousands of years before Christ, even before the ice age occurred. But no researcher in the universe knows for sure, what civilization they are, from what kingdom they are, or where they come from.

Long before Kutai, long before Salakanagara, long before the Gunuug Padang Cianjur, long before Atlantis, long before Lemurian or far earlier, there could have been other kingdoms in the archipelago, because this region has sunshine that always illuminate throughout the year, which can make plants and animals alive.

But the evidence of a group, a kingdom or the like, must still be scientifically proven, though the kingdom has existed for thousands of years before Christ.
