Majapahit Kingdom And Spice Islands

LEGACY OF THE MAJAPAHIT KINGDOM AND SPICE ISLANDS

It was posted earlier that the capital of Sarawak, Kuching could have been derived from the name of the place in India called COCHIN as was BRUNEI which was known in the history as PUNE and PUNE is also a place in Western INDIA too although I am more inclined to believe that the word BRUNEI could have come from the word , the river that meets the WHITENILE in the place now called BLUENILESUDAN in front of the HILTON HOTEL SUDAN.

SUDAN was formerly known as UPPER EGYPT and had been the supplier of the agricultural produce to ARABIA including Mecca and Medina. It is believed that the confluence of these two rivers is the beginning of history of many of the Prophets in Islam including Prophet Hidir and Moses.

The capital of MAKASSAR in South Celebes is called GOA and GOA is also in West INDIA. These could be names given during the MAJAPAHIT KINGDOM which rules the eastern part of Indonesia which had resemblance to their Indian rulers in this part of the world. The Island Of BALI in East Indonesia still stands tall as a Hindu heritage despite the many colonization by the European including the Dutch, British and others.

This part of the world is famous for its spices and other natural resources that were highly sought after items in the more developed countries in Europe, India, Arab countries and China. The islands in the Moluccas had been well-known as a popular trading routes among the European and visited by many traders.
