Borobudur Heritage of Solomon ?

Read the title above, certainly many people who would frown, as a sign of unbelief. In fact, you might as well. Therefore, Prophet Sulayman was a messenger of God who granted the privilege with the ability to conquer all of God's creatures, including wind power is subject to the permission of Allah. In fact, birds and jin always obey the command of Solomon.

According to Sami bin Abdullah al-Maghluts, in his book Atlas History of Prophets and Messengers, Prophet Sulaiman thought to have lived in the 9th century BC (989-931 BC), or about 3,000 years ago. Meanwhile, the Borobudur Temple as it is written in a variety of national history books, founded by Dynasty dynasty in the late 8th century BC, or about 1,200 years ago. Therefore, natural that many people are probably laughing wryly, laughter, and shaking his head when it stated that Borobudur Temple of Solomon was founded by the United States.

Borobudur is a Buddhist temple. Adjacent to the temple of Borobudur is Pawon and Mendut. A few kilometers from Borobudur Temple, Prambanan Temple there, Kalasan, Candi Sari, Plaosan, and others. The temples near Prambanan is a Buddhist temple that was founded around AD 772 and AD 778.

So, what to do with Solomon? Borobudur is a true relic of King Solomon and the great great? What is the evidence? Is it true that there are traces of Islam in the largest Buddhist temple? Certainly need a comprehensive research and involving various parties to prove the validity and truth.

However, if the above question posed to KH Fahmi Basya, the Islamic mathematician will answer; true. Borobudur is a relic of King Solomon in the land of Java.

In his book, Islamic Mathematics 3 (Reuters, 2009), KH Fahmi Basya mention some of the traits of Borobudur temple which became evident as the relics of the Prophet David's son. Among them, the forest or the land of Saba, Saba meaning, the name of Solomon, the fruit of a bitter maja, removal of the palace the Queen of Saba to Solomon's territory, buildings that are not resolved by the genie, the gathering place of the Queen of Saba, and others.

In the Qur'an, the story of King Solomon and the Queen of Saba is mentioned in Surah An-Naml [27]: 15-44, Saba [34]: 12-16, al-Anbiya [21]: 78-81, and others. Of course, many do not believe it when Borobudur is a relic of Solomon.

Among the reasons, as Solomon lived in the 10th century BC, while Borobudur was built in the 8th century AD. Then, according to many parties, events and the story of Solomon's happening in the Palestinian territories, and Saba in South Yemen, while Borobudur in Indonesia.

Of course this raises the curious. Moreover, Fahmi Basya KH showed evidence based on the description of the Koran. So what if valid proof of Borobudur is a relic of Solomon or the building of Solomon, whose creation is the command?

According to Fahmi Basya, and as the authors see through the existing reliefs, there are several symbols, which is impressive and is identical to the story of Solomon and the Queen of Saba, as the description of the Koran. The first is about the ark, a box or crate that contains the legacy of David to Solomon AS. That said, in it there is the book of Psalms, Torah, and the level of Moses, and give you peace. In the relief contained in Borobudur, was a chest or ark was being guarded by someone.

"And their Prophet said to them: 'Behold the sign he would be king, was the return of the ark to you, in which there is tranquility from your Lord, and the rest of the family heritage of Moses and the family of Aaron, the ark was carried by the angels. Verily in this there was a sign for you , if you are believers. '" (Surah Al-Baqarah [2]: 248).

Second, the work is not finished when jin knew Solomon was dead. (Surah Saba [34]: 14). Upon learning of Solomon's death, the jinn were to stop work. At Borobudur, a statue that has not been resolved completely. Unfinished statue was called Solomon.

Third, the genie was ordered to build high buildings and making sculptures. (Surah Saba [34]: 13). As is known, many statues of Buddha at Borobudur. While a high building or buildings that are Prambanan.

Fourth, Solomon spoke with the birds and animals. (Surat an-Naml [27]: 20-22). There are also reliefs. In fact, a number of reliefs of Borobudur motivated frame flowers and birds. There are also a number of reliefs other animals, like elephants, horses, pigs, dogs, monkeys, and others.

Fifth, the story of the Queen of Saba and the people who worshiped the sun and bow to a fellow human being. (Surat an-Naml [27]: 22). According to Fahmi Basya, Saba means gathering or meeting place. Hud-hud expressions bird on Saba, because birds do not know the name of the area. "Never mind the birds, humans only when it is above the plane, will not know the name of a city or country," he explains. Fahmi added Basya, a gathering place of man in the temple of Ratu Boko is located approximately 36 kilometers from Borobudur. It also allows the distance traveled in a single bird flying.

Sixth, Saba is in Indonesia, namely Wonosobo. In the Qur'an, the Saba a lot overgrown with trees. (Surah Saba [34]: 15). In ancient Jawi language dictionary, compiled by Dr Maharsi, the word 'Wana' meaning forest. Thus, according to Fahmi, saba or wana Wonosobo Saba is the woods.

Seventh, fruit 'maja' bitter. When the great flood (Sail al-Arim) hit the region of Saba, the trees around him to be bitter as the Wrath of God to those who deny his revelations."But, they turn away, We bring to them the great flood [1236], and We converted their two garden with two garden is overgrown (trees) producing bitter fruit, tamarisks, and some of the trees Sidr tree." (Surah Saba [34]: 16).

Eighth, the name of Solomon shows the name of the Javanese. Prefix the word 'su'merupakan Java names. And Solomon is the only prophets and apostles 25 people, whose names beginning with 'Su'. Ninth, Solomon sent a letter to the Queen of Saba through bird Hud-hud. "Go thou to bring this letter." (Surat an-Naml [27]: 28). The minister said the letter was written on plates of gold as a form of wealth of Solomon. He added that the letter was found in a pond at Ratu Boko.

Tenth, the building is low (Sidrin qalil). See Surah Saba [34] 16). Building is low it is the Ratu Boko. And there are a number of stupas are low. "This proves that Ratu Boko Palace is a palace of the Queen of Saba who was transferred by order of Solomon," said Fahmi stressed.

In addition to the above evidence, Fahmi said, there are many more other evidence which suggests that the story of Solomon and the Queen of Saba in Indonesia. As the monsoon winds blowing from Asia and Australia (Surah Saba [34]: 12), the story of the palace which is lost or removed, the Queen Bilqis dialogue with the princes when he received a letter Sulaiman (Surat An-Naml [27]: 32), the name Sleman district, District Salaman, Salam village, and others. With the above evidence, Fahmi Basya believe that Borobudur is a relic of Solomon. What about the readers? Only God knows. And Allaah knows best.

Kingdom of Sunda: Hartharanus, could it really be Atlantis?

1. Hartharanus kingdom and King Heru Chakra


According to that developed in the community said, long ago on the island of Java, there are already adopts kingdom monotheos. Great kingdom is flanked by the Indian Ocean and Pacific Oceans, as well known as Hatharanus was ruled by a king of great fair and wise with a King Heru Chakra. While the language used when it is the Word Ingsun eventually called by the acronym Sun-Da.


Under the wisdom and firmness prabu Heru Chakra, be the island of Java as a beacon of the archipelago. Therefore, as a language that is characterized as a means to communicate, whether oral or written, then up to now Sundanese script and still remain stable in the middle of the archipelago, especially in the western part of Java island.


Table: Literacy Sundanese (Kaganga)


Heru King Chakra is also known as a figure who spread the science of relationships nerves associated with each segment of human nerves. From the start of the tail bone to the skull. The science is better known as the Dragon Bracelet (bracelet power). That said, the dynasties of Tibet Shambala also studied this through cultural exchange at the height of Srivijaya, and then the science is known as the Kala Chakra.


Time went by unnoticed and the mark with the influx of Hindu and Buddhist religions.Heru Sciences Chakra begins to grow out of the island of Java, as well as the religion of Islam came in and rapidly growing across the nation. Disagreement about the life of this one character, as well as endless. In the hands of Sunda believe that Heru Chakras life and habitation in Bantar Kawung Cianjur West Java. While others believe he has lived in ancient times.


Apart from the clash of ideas developed in the community, the zamanya, no one can dismiss, how in the land of Java, there is a high civilization and of which can be evidenced by the language persatuanya, the Sundanese. Are made as of this writing is still highly conserved in the middle of society, especially in the western part of Java.


2. Silat Legenda and Prince Forgiving

For teachers of the martial arts elder, the name of Prince Forgiving is not a foreign name. But at the present time may be only a few colleges that still introduce ssaja legendary figure of the Prince-Forgiving.


It is said that martial arts has been known long before Hinduism and Buddhism entered the archipelago. Where proved that in this archipelago (say Java), already has a very high civilization. Many of the world's oldest human fossil found in the islands of Java, such as the beginning of Pithecantrphus eretus to Mojokerto soloensis.



The island of Java, is the capital of the kingdom Hartharanus. Forgiving Prince is one of the relatives whose names prabu Heru Chakra alive. Until the present, where science is held by Prince pengharkatan Forgiving is a science-based energy on the relationship of uric terms associated with each segment of human bones. Especially the vertebrae of the tail bone to start with the skull. Science is known as the Dragon Bracelet (Bracelet power). Dynasty of Tibet Shambala supposedly studying this through cultural exchange at the height of Srivijaya. Which became known as the science of Kala Chakra ..


He explained that scientific Dragon Bracelet (bracelet power) that generate (harkatan / herkaton) energy through a rin g-ring from every segment of human bones. Wherein each vertebra in each ring is connected to the nerves associated with vital organ of human pepul. In the sense that if this energy is congested, then there is a specific part of the body that are not both running the energy that is felt as pain in the organ that feels uncomfortable.


The entry of Hinduism and Buddhism to Java, causing science from Prince-Forgiving, the more advanced even circulated out of the island of Java. However lafads "Forgiving" is very difficult to pronounce for people outside of Java. So worship terhadapa Forgiving Prince is sounding like gumanan / lafads which reads "Houm houm houm". Similarly, after Islam entered the archipelago of the Prince Forgiving cult called the "representative Waliullah One". Of the many science lessons taught by the Lord Mayor said many representatives Waliullah forgiving rough u "


So clearly that "the legend of Prince Forgiving" still life begins from the time of pre-Hindu Budhha until now. Forgiving is the figure of Prince figures not included in the historical record and the name lives on in the community, then he became a legend. But for those who study science lessons will meet with the title "Prince of Forgiving Waliullah representative of unity" in certain spells.


In tatar Sundanese (Parahiangan), it is believed that the Prince had lived in Bantar Forgiving Kawung Cianjur in West Java. While in Central Java Forgiving Prince believed to have lived in the kingdom Hartharanus. And his name is honored by the Mayor with the title "vice Waliullah One", which means that berkaromah Representative based on the trustees.



3. Tentative conclusion

With the above view, it can be concluded while. First, at p ulau Java before there is a large empire under the name Hartharanus. Second, if the state Hartharanus can be read from the back of the archipelago. Third, the spelling of the West - particularly Greece: Plato -, said Hartharnus into Atlantis. Believed by them as a lost continent and the continent that has a very high civilization. Fourth, that in Java there is unity of language is a language called Sun-Da (Word Ingsun language). Fifth, knowledge of the energy associated with the energy radiating / spread of any particular segment of the human vertebra vertebra. Flowing through the veins toward the requirements of vital organs of the body organs. This knowledge was spread everywhere even to the Tibetans. Sixth, many versions of Heru prabu Forgiving Prince Chakras and legend circulating in the community.



This study is still tentative and needs to be explored more in history emukan real men.But most can not give an overview and support, that indeed this archipelago was once in the age and a very advanced civilization, as well as a world leader. Allaah `nature.

Indonesian History

Indonesia, a Nation in Transition




Although hundreds of ethnic groups have been known as the indigenous of Indonesia for hundreds and thousands of years, Indonesia did not exist in its present form until the turn of the 20th century.

Of the so-called natives of Indonesia, archaeologists have speculated that the first people to populate Indonesia migrated from mainland China some 1,000 years ago and inhabited a stretch of islands along the equator, later known as Nusantara.

Over the centuries they built and refined their statecraft in the form of kingdoms and principalities. Sharing similar characteristics with other Southeast Asian kingdoms, these Nusantara kingdoms based their conception of state more on people than on space or territory. But intercourse with the western world changed the course of history in Nusantara.

In 1511, the Portuguese conquered Malacca, located on the Malay peninsula, which was then still an inseparable part of Nusantara. The Dutch followed in 1512 and landed on Banten shore in Java. At first, the Dutch came more as traders under the trading umbrella of the Royal East Indies Company (Vereniging Oost Indische Compagnie, VOC). For the next two centuries, the Dutch conducted business with the natives, although in many cases the trade was not on equal terms. Often, trade was accompanied by violent pacification processes.

Then the VOC went bankrupt and the Dutch government took over the business in Nusantara (called the East Indies by the Dutch). Starting from about the mid-seventh century and lasting until the arrival of the Japanese in 1942, was the "real colonization" called "high colonialism" in literature. The period was disrupted briefly when the British took over colonial rule in 1811 to 1814. Among other things that the natives learned from colonization was statecraft based on territorial conception rather than on people.

In the early 20th century, the natives of Nusantara learned that as diverse as their ethnicities were, they could imagine themselves as a unified community. A nationalism had grown in a process that Benedict Anderson, a doyen of Indonesian studies, calls an "imagined community". During the first half of 20th century Nusantara, its people built an imaginary nation called Indonesia -- the name itself was borrowed from the West. By the end of the 1930s, it was clear that the end of Dutch colonialism in Indonesia was only a matter of time.

During World War II, 1942-1945, the Japanese occupied Indonesia. Although short-lived, the occupation enabled Indonesians to arm themselves for the very first time. Shortly after Japan's defeat in WWII, Sukarno and Hatta proclaimed Indonesia an independent state, and they became the founding fathers of the new country. The largest archipelago in the world, with over 17,000 islands -- only 3,000 of which are inhabited -- has emerged into a new Indonesia.

When the Dutch returned and tried to reestablish colonial rule, armed Indonesians resisted. The Dutch were forced to recognize an independent Indonesia in 1949.

The new Indonesia adopted a federal system of governance for a short time. But for a longer period, within a five-year span (1950-1955), leaders of the new country were eager to adopt a liberal system of government. Although there is no proof that the system ruined the economy, it was clear that the elite's political stability was shaky. The longest serving prime minister was only two years in office.

The government then held a general election in 1955, the first and only democratic general election Indonesia ever had. But feeling that the country was still unstable two years after the election, president Sukarno, backed by the Army, declared the 1950 Provisional Constitution void and reintroduced the 1945 Constitution. The latter provided an ample opportunity for Sukarno, popularly known as Bung Karno (Comrade Sukarno), to balance three political powers -- the Indonesian Communist Party, the Army and himself.

In the first half of the 1960s, Bung Karno leaned toward the left. On domestic politics, he was trying hard to balance the communists and the Army; on the international stage he was establishing himself as leader of a new world, free from Cold War antagonism. But economic decline and mounting conflicts, especially between communists and noncommunists, the latter of which was backed by the Army, caused him to lose control over the situation.

On Sept. 30, 1965, an abortive coup occurred. There are two conflicting versions of events surrounding the attempted coup. The official Army version insists that the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) was behind the coup attempt, while the communist version asserts that the coup was an internal matter of the Army. In fact, several members of PKI's central bureau were involved, as well as many Army officers and personnel.

The abortive coup cost Indonesia dearly. It took the lives of seven high-ranking Army generals, followed by a pogrom of communists -- a moderate estimate ranges between 300 thousand and 500 thousand alleged members of PKI. Soeharto, who then was a major general and commander of the Army Strategic Reserves Command, took over leadership and deposed Bung Karno from his presidential seat.

In 1966, Soeharto received a letter known as the March 11 Letter of Instruction which reportedly transferred state power from Sukarno to him.

In 1967, Soeharto unseated Sukarno as president in the special session of the Provisional People's Consultative Assembly (MPRS).

Consolidating his power under a new regime called the New Order, Soeharto launched a "regime cleansing" against the Old Order.

Together with Hamengkubuwono IX, the sultan of Yogyakarta, and Adam Malik -- the three were known as the triumvirate -- Soeharto divided the tasks for economic and political reconstruction. Sultan Hamengkubuwono was assigned to lead efforts for economic recovery, Adam Malik was assigned to redirect Indonesia's foreign policy toward the West, and Soeharto himself was "assigned" to rebuild the lamentable domestic politics.

Soeharto was determined to change Indonesia's course, from its emphasis on politics to prioritizing economic development. He set up the trilogy of development: political stability, economic growth and equality.

To gain political legitimacy, perceived as a prerequisite to economic growth, the government conducted a general election in 1971. The election, however, was far from democratic. Soeharto introduced the "floating mass" concept that banned political parties from operating at village level.

From the 1971 election and throughout the New Order period, the Functional Group (Golongan Karya, or Golkar) served as Soeharto's main political machinery. Golkar legally operated not as a political party, although in fact it was a party. Golkar ran in the 1971 elections against 10 other political parties -- including PKI and Masyumi which were two of the four biggest parties in 1955 but which had been out of political scene -- and won 62 percent of the vote.

In 1974, Soeharto forced all political parties to merge into three: Golkar, the United Development Party (PPP) and the Indonesian Democratic Party (PDI). Again, legally speaking Golkar was not a political party. Five more elections were conducted every five years. During those years, Soeharto tightly controlled politics; not even the slightest room was available for opposition.

There were several cases of serious opposition during the New Order regime. The first came rather as a blow in 1974, when students protested against Japanese investments. Added by political rivalry between Gen. Soemitro and Maj. Gen. Ali Moertopo, student protests in Jakarta turned into riots. The movement ended with the removal of Soemitro from his powerful position as deputy commander of the Armed Forces and chief of staff of the Operation Command for the Restoration of Security and Order (Kopkamtib).

The second serious opposition movement came in 1978. Again it came from students, who protested Soeharto's bid for a second term in office, which would be decided upon by the People's Consultative Assembly in its General Session in March 1978.

Several retired Army officers backed the students, while factionalism was apparent within the Armed Forces. Soeharto moved fast to crush the movement. Hundreds of opposition and student leaders were arrested, dozens of newspapers and magazines were closed down. The movement lost its momentum, and after that Soeharto enjoyed an incontestable position.

If Golkar served as Soeharto's main political machinery, the Army functioned as guardian of the state. And since the state was personalized around Soeharto alone, the Army also served to protect him. Under its dual function role doctrine -- the doctrine argues that the duties of a professional Indonesian Armed Forces includes attending to nonmilitary business, especially if it has to do with politics -- the military intervened in almost all sectors of public life. At its peak, the number of military personnel serving in nonmilitary affairs reached over 40,000. Later, history witnessed excesses of the doctrine.

Some businesspeople, many of whom were of Chinese descent, enjoyed state protection and sometimes two-digit economic growth; some grew to become tycoons and magnates. The privileges that these businesspeople enjoyed sparked resentment from other communities. As a result, racial tension grew.

But Chinese businesspeople were not the only ones to enjoy state protection and preference. Some indigenous businesspeople also enjoyed similar privileges. In general, what Kunio Yoshihara calls "ersatz capitalism", or pseudocapitalism, grew. Those "capitalists" were not real capitalists.

Then the financial crisis came. It first hit in mid-1997, and many believe it was a direct result of Thailand's economic crisis. The crisis worsen with the scheduling of the People's Consultative Assembly's General Session in March 1998, with the main agenda being to "elect" a "new" national leadership. It eventually turned into a political crisis too. But Soeharto was determined to run for his seventh consecutive five-year term in office. Supported by his political machine, Soeharto, as expected, became president again.

The economic and political crises made the political climate like a house of cards. Lacking sensitivity, Soeharto filled his new Cabinet with cronies, and appointed one of his daughters minister of social affairs. Less than two months after the formation of the new Cabinet, political tension mounted to an unbearable level. On May 12, four Trisakti University students were shot dead following a peaceful demonstration.

The shootings immediately sparked the emotions of the masses. To the majority of people, the New Order regime had become soulless. Within a week, Indonesia experienced one of its most tumultuous periods in history. For three days, from May 13 through to May 15, six of the country's largest cities were hit by massive riots, probably the largest riots in Indonesia's history. Days later, hundreds of thousand students and members of the public poured into the streets. Chanting and demanding total reform, thousands marched to the legislative building in Jakarta and occupied it for several days.

This forced Soeharto to step down. Instead of returning the presidential mandate to the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) he gave the mandate to vice president B.J. Habibie. The new president is weak, but his weakness is one of his strengths. Everyone close to him feels that they can use him, and thus balancing the power is everyone's interest. The government scheduled another general election on June 7, 1999, only two years after the last election.

Forty-eight political parties, instead of three, competed for 462 seats in the House of Representatives, with the remaining 38 seats going to the military. The election was the first democratic poll since 1955, and the results should have a long-term effect on domestic political stability. The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI Perjuangan) won a majority in the House (DPR) with 35 percent of seats, followed by Golkar, the United Development Party (PPP), the National Awakening Party (PKB), the Crescent and Stars Party (PBB) and the National Mandate Party (PAN).

Despite its position as a simple majority party, PDI Perjuangan lost the political battle to install chairwoman Megawati Soekarnoputri as president. In a tight race against a strategic coalition of Golkar and the Axis Force, a coalition of various Islamic parties, PDI Perjuangan also lost the strategic posts of speakers of the House and People's Consultative Assembly. After losing out on the presidency, Megawati was elected as vice president.

2007 October 20 Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is sworn in as President.
