There is not so much archaeological evidence of this kingdom to be used as a subject of historical study. [1] But some historians begin to trace the existence of this kingdom from the Hikayat of the Pasai Kings, [2] and this is attributed to some of the king's tombs and the invention of gold and silver coins with the name of the king. [3]
The kingdom was founded by Marah Silu, who is the title of Sultan Malik as-Saleh, around 1267. The existence of this kingdom is also contained in the book Rihlah ila l-Masyriq (Wandering to the East) by Abu Abdullah ibn Batuthah (1304-1368), the Moroccan traveler came to this country in 1345. The Pasai Sultanate finally collapsed after the Portuguese ihsan attack in 1521
