What a challenge this episode was! We don't necessarily know how much of the information about Srivijaya is strictly true. Let's dip into the material and methods used to construct this week's episode.
671 - 1200 - There were times when the land based Silk Road was not an easy path and the sea route was favoured. In order to get to China, one would have to navigate through the islands of South East Asia, which offered the opportunity for someone there to obtain some fortunate wealth. Let me introduce you to Srivijaya.
This nation lies across the two sides of the South China Sea. On both sides of this nation there has been thousands of years of human history that shaped the nation into what it is today. This nation was influenced by great maritime empires like the Srivijaya and global ones like the British. In the time since this country gained independence it has become one of the most well developed in the world. No matter the internal and external battles this nation has fought it has continued to grow for the last 60 years. This is Malaysia.
Put on your rubber boots, we're continuing our exploration of Southeast Asia as we excavate the deep jungle ruins of the Classical Age. From the Khmer Empire to Champa to Srivijaya and beyond, the early medieval period of Southeast Asian history is marked by the emergence of incredible states and empires whose histories, though tantalizingly obscure, hint at great narratives of conflict and cooperation. This episode of Gladio Free Europe travels across the kingdoms and trade federations today comprising countries like Indonesia, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Of particular interest is the figure of the deva-raja, the god-king, who could command the ability to construct enormous monuments to Hindu gods and the principles of Buddhism beyond the scope of anything in Europe at this time. Join us to learn about the pirate-kings of Java, the Burmese King Arthur, Malay sea-cossacks, and how the far-reaching journeys of Austronesian merchants led to the introduction of Southeast Asia's most popular religion, Islam.
Entre l'Afrique et l'Asie, c'est bien là que se trouve Madagascar. Si, sur le plan géographique, l'île gigantesque semble tout de même nettement plus proche du continent africain... la génétique et la linguistique réservent tout de même quelques drôles de surprises ! D'ici et d'ailleurs Les biologistes sont effectivement formels : le peuplement de Madagascar coïnciderait avec l'installation d'une trentaine de femmes originaires du lointain archipel indonésien... il y a 1 200 ans ! Cette conclusion étonnante a été livrée suite à une étude comparant le génome de la population malgache à celui de différentes zones de l'Indonésie. En se concentrant sur la lignée maternelle des habitants de l'île située au large des côtes est-africaines, les scientifiques de l'Institut de biologie moléculaire de l'Université Massey (en Nouvelle-Zélande) on effectivement découvert des marqueurs propres aux régions d'Asie du Sud-Est. De ce fait : les habitants actuels de Madagascar auraient bien une double ascendance.... et seraient afro-asiatiques. Sauvées des eaux ? Mais, les biologistes ne se sont pas contentés d'étudier cette parenté en surface. En allant plus en détail, ceux-ci ont effectivement découvert un "marqueur malgache" spécifique à la génétique des habitants de l'île. Pour ce faire : ils ont d'abord croisé les données ADN de 2 745 individus - issus de douze groupes d'îles indonésiens - avec celles de 266 personnes, appartenant aux trois groupes ethniques malgaches. C'est de cette manière qu'ils ont découvert que ledit "motif malgache" était une variante du "motif polynésien" trouvable en Indonésie. Évidemment : faute d'archives disponibles, l'histoire du peuplement malgache ne peut être écrite avec précision. En revanche, trois pistes semblent actuellement crédibles. La première suppose qu'il s'agit d'un peuplement progressif opéré par des négociants maritimes indonésiens (accompagnés, donc, de leurs épouses). La deuxième prétend qu'il s'agit d'une entreprise de colonisation délibérée qui aurait été décidée par l'Empire de Srivijaya (une cité-État située au sud de Sumatra). Mais c'est sans doute la troisième hypothèse qui est la plus "amusante" : selon elle, un navire naufragé sur l'Océan indien aurait échoué sur les côtes malgaches... avec, en guise de rescapées, les fameuses aïeules des malgaches actuels ! Voilà qui a de quoi donner des idées aux scénaristes de films les plus inspirés ! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Indonesia's first great empire. A maritime kingdom that had been lost to history until its 20th century rediscovery.
Even with its riches and long history, Srivijaya was, for a long time, largely forgotten. Although Palembang, the capital of Srivijaya became a part of Indonesia, even the modern Indonesian people never heard of the empire until the first hint of its existence was alluded to by French scholar George Coedes who published his findings in Dutch newspapers in 1918, based on inscriptions found in Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula. It was not until 1992 that another French scholar, Pierre-Yves Manguin, pin-pointed the center of Srivijaya as the Musi River, between Bukit Seguntang and Sabokingking in South Sumatra.

In the fourth episode of Podding Through Time, Jacob and Evan explore many topics related to trade and the bigness of the world:-Who was Mansa Musa I of Mali, what did his mighty image signify for the people in the wider world of his time, and what did he establish that can be seen to this day?-What were the histories of the Indonesian kingdoms of Srivijaya and Majapahit and how do they relate to the world of East and South Asia as well as New Guinea?-What was the United States Expedition of Korea, which ended up becoming the first conflict between the two countries, nearly a century before the Korean War?-How does the modern situation in Kashmir connect with the history of the region?-How did pre-modern cultures map the world and what can we learn about how the world was viewed in historic times from these maps?
Indonesia's first great empire. A maritime kingdom that had been lost to history until its 20th century rediscovery.
While the Silk Road gets the fame, and the catchy nickname, the Indian Ocean maritime trade moved far more goods over a longer period of time. That trade, combined with its own unique products, made Indonesia and its first great kingdoms possible. The result were Indian-influenced trading empires and regional behemoths capable of creating the world's largest Buddhist monument on the island of Java. Anthony Frisina of the History of Indonesia podcast joins the show to discuss how these empires, the Srivijaya and Sailendra, came to be, how they built the great Borobudur, and why we don't know nearly as much about them as we'd like. We'll also discuss the interplay between Hinduism and Buddhism, which led to the creation of Prambanan, a massive Hindu temple just 44 km from Borobudur, that is a wonder in its own right. There's Chinese monks on pilgrimage, cloves a-plenty, and nasi goreng, a Javanese fried rice that hits all the right flavor notes. Sources: Cœdès, George.

We're now up to the most spectacular civilization in ancient/medieval Southeast Asia. This episode covers Cambodia from 550 to 1431, the golden age of the Khmers, ancestors of today's Cambodians. Here are some maps and pictures to give you a better idea of what I am talking about: First, a map of mainland Southeast Asia, around 750 A.D. The violet-colored nation at the bottom is Srivijaya (see Episode 6). And here is Jayavarman II in the Devaraja (god-king) ceremony. The priest is annointing a lingam, a phallus-shaped stone representing Shiva; that was the most important image in the temple. From the April 1960 issue of National Geographic. The Khmer Empire in the twelfth century. The striped area was ruled by the Burmese, but also claimed by the Khmers. From Angkorvat.net. One of Angkor's gateways, with four faces of Jayavarman VII looking in different directions. In Ankgor, the phrase "Big Brother is watching you" was carved in stone!

This episode covers Indonesia from the year 600 to 1500, the years when historical records become available, but before most Indonesians converted to Islam (that will be a topic for a future episode). Five major kingdoms dominated the islands during this time: Srivijaya, Mataram, Kediri, Singosari, and Majapahit. Also, we will take a detailed look at Borobudur, Indonesia's greatest monument. Here is a picture of Borobudur from the air, in case you want something to look at while following the description given in the episode. On September 20, 2016, this podcast was accepted on Acast, the big Swedish podcasting host. I am happy about this because they said no three months earlier, when I applied before recording the first episode.
