So they're like Europe's Roman Empire to Indonesia
@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
@Jacky Phantom indeed they are
The root of Indonesia's toxic imperialism too

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'd read that manga.

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.

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!
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.)

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.
Yes, you are correct.
Make sense!
Who is more bitter?

I'm indonesian and can we just appriciate how accurate and amazing these explanations are? I learn so much more than i ever had from high school.
@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
Funfact:- Màtram literally means motherland
I am Indonesian, I would like to thanks for telling Indonesia's history to the world. Very great explanations
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
@@andhikasoehalim3170 they actually follow the rules Islam sets out, while the middle east just kinda...ignored the rules
Turkey is pretty laid back to, at least compare to their neighbors.
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
Ikr, its just sad the recent years arabization become a thing here and now habib this habib that
"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."

So proud for foreigners to learn a bit of our culture
Finally some Indonesian history. Vastly underrepresented in the history community.
To be fair they are surrounded north, north east and north west by older and more interesting cultures.
@@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.
No one ever talks about Burma Cambodia Laos Taiwan Papua New Guinea not just Sri Lanka not just you busdy
No one ever talked about south east asia but vietnam ever!
Once upon a time. Nusantara live in peace(mostly). Suddenly, Netherland strike.
and they conquer us for fucking years forget the exact amount of year im bad at history
Then the Brits came, they drew a line and the nusantara will never be the same again.
its 300+- years for the netherland and 3 years for nippon
They technically united us
In fact, Indonesia wouldn't never exist if the Dutch didn't come and invade
The world: **fighting over for spice**
Indonesia: **laughs in wkwk**
true
Well, the Dutch Raid our land for like 300 years
Well that was a turn of a table
@@indahningsih3556 well there no "indonesia" yet before the Dutch came.
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 🙄
@dy 94 I mean, we have like 4000 loan words tho

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.

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)
Im Indonesian, this teached me history more than school in my entire life
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.
This needs more views!

Thank you so much for summarize Indonesian historic kingdom and make it so fun and easy to understand. Even I, as Indonesian that already learned about Mataram and Sriwijaya every year from junior high school until senior high school, would never be able to understood why these two kingdom was connected. History isn't my cup of tea I thought. But, now what I learned before make sense because of your video. You're right, without Sriwijaya, Mataram, the other Indonesia's kingdom, and the biggest of them all, Majapahit, there would never be Indonesia right now.
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 😆😆
I just googled Borobudur and holy shit! Its beautiful! The stone work looks like something that might be done today! An architectural wonder no less!
I Visited That Place A Lot Of Buddha Statues
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!
Actually it's because we(Indonesian) don't find much about Srivijaya. Srivijaya didn't left us many things, only the first dinasty did that.
@stellvia hoenheim but the history is power, BETTER THAN A NUCLEAR BOMB IS A PEOPLE ITSELF
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.
Because malaysia dont want other religion as part of their 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.

"This is the island of Java" So where are my updates?
Spreckops sorry, your windows need some updates..
I live in that island and i can surely assure you it updates so often it has become a part of life for me
Over 3 Billion Islands use Java
You need Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2 to be able to update
in Indonesian it is Jawa
My God, Dune was a docudrama this entire time!
I knew i wasn't the only one who got that reference
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.

I'm an indonesian and i am happy to see you do a history story about my ancestors people rarely talk about us
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!

**INDONESIAN CLAIMING THAT THIS VIDEO IS MUCH WORTH IT THEN THEIR ENTIRE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL HISTORY CLASS IN FACT THEY DOESN'T PAY ATTENTION**
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.
At least Majapahit is famous enough to remember, because my memory is hazy with the rest.
@@cestalia ah, yes. we didn't learn WW. but my underclassmen learnt it. they used 2013 Curriculum
Thank you for such great yet simple explanation 🙏🙏🙏
Loved to learn about this. It's a fascinating topic.
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.
Wow, interesting 😇
And begin by sanjaya from sunda galuh kingdom.
Besides both temples ( I think) were built to unite two kingdoms.
It's fact that indonesian has good relationship in religion before islam
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!
Thanks ally! I love the art in these!
Correction: The Polynesians were descended from the Austronesians, not the other way around. Anyway, awesome content, guys!
Really good vid =D I didnt know about the earth quake on lombok and donated 500$ because of this vid =D
WHEW.
Thanks man
Thanks for the Donation

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.

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.
If you go to Sumatra and tell them "you guys are Malays", you may need life insurance.
@Patrick Schaubweiss people that time does thing beyond human understanding
@@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.
I love your Videos thanks alot for making them.
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

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.
Lies.... well, hope they address it in lies.
*They are descendants of voyagers
JonManProductions how are they lies? Care to explain?
@xcaliberx "Lies" are bloopers episodes for Extra Credits where they discuss all the mistakes they made with the series they previously released.
thank you! The arrow was pointing the right way, but they used the wrong word.
Woooooowww the video and all the aspects just blowing my miinddd ✨✨💛💛💛💛💛
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).
"torture, murder and enslave to acquire spices" sounds like my game of Spore
Exactly my friend
Also I re downloaded the game and I want to go to the galactic core but it is impossible at on point i can't move my spaceship forward due to star distances
And im fucking fully upgraded and fully stacked yet it seems whatever way I go theres always a dead end and having the grox on my tail doesn't help at all
This is actually REALLY HAPPENING during Dutch colonial.
Nutmeg, what have you done
My foreign friends laughed how intergalactic spacefaring aliens indulge in spice trade instead of weapons and others.
Well, they simply didn't know history.
Hey how many peoples here want SPORE 2? Wkwkwkwk
i do... altho EA must fall first :D
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!
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.
Neat. I knew these names and a little information about these kingdoms, so it's nice to know more. Also, I live on a street named after one of these kingdoms.
Damn, there are really some untold stories in our history books. It's like going back to school with extra knowledge.
I live in Indonesia and raising money for the recent earthquakes in Lombok is really helpful.
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
am indonesian and i just came by this channel and yeah 2020 sucks but this chanel is awesome soo yeah cooll
Thank for your videos... i knew a bit of them and i always promote them on Quora as people ask for " What unknow civilization" i always mentioned them.
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.
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.
2:50 and 5:38 you forget to explain why Sriwijawa had the Infinity Gauntlet..
