Selama ini kita rasa kita yang kena buktikan diri kepada dunia.
600 tahun dahulu, dunia yang datang berlabuh di pelabuhan kita.
Zaman Kesultanan Melaka, ada bangsa pedagang datang berniaga di pelabuhan kita dari sebuah kerajaan pulau di utara. Portugis panggil mereka "Lequeos." Hari ini, pulau mereka kita kenal sebagai Okinawa, Jepun. 🧵

As sea levels rise along Indonesia’s coastline, areas in Java are sinking by 1.15 metres a year. The island’s subsidence is partly the legacy of centuries of exploitation.

The German Peasants’ War of 1525 by Thomas Kaufmann, translated by Ellen Yutzy Glebe, shows how print linked local revolts, spread radical ideas, and turned local protests into the largest uprising of the early modern era.

In 1483, the Timurid Emir of Samarkand, Sultan Ahmed Mirza, sent two rare lions as a gift to the Ming Emperor. Previous embassies had also brought lions as gifts, which the Chinese court found useless and expensive to keep. So, when the envoys Paluwan and Hoja Mahmad arrived at the border with the lioness Hasinah (Beauty), they were stopped and left waiting for months. During that time, they commissioned this near-life-size painting which they sent with their pleas to the imperial court.
If you zoom in, you can find their names in gold Chinese characters. There are also verses by the Emperor at the top along with the date of the event and the imperial seal.

The inhabitants of maritime Southeast Asia utilized nautical charts comparable to European portolan charts. The Portuguese were deeply impressed by an elaborate Javanese chart that was unfortunately later lost in a shipwreck.

Tentang tentara Jawa di Ternate pada tahun 1583:
(Perang Ternate⚔️ Spanyol)
"Orang Jawa adalah pasukan tombak yang sangat hebat karena mereka adalah spesialis dalam senjata ini, selain itu raja Pajang yang sangat kuat telah berjanji untuk mengirimkan lebih banyak lagi."
