Learn about Lombok from history

If the name of Mataram, at least, already in our mind. But while Lombok shake one's head, Tengku Putra Dato Awang Tengkung, Treasury Minister of the Kingdom of balance Malaysia, told Kompas events at dinner entourage tourism campaign in West Nusa Tenggara. Lombok Island lombokAgaknya name Sasak ethnic especially as a native of the island is not recorded in the mind of Malaysia in general. From officials to ordinary citizens, Lombok is probably the country bran-berantah. The more specific the city of Mataram, the capital of West Nusa Tenggara province at this time. Mataram is known Berhormat Dato Tengku Putra not even have the name of the city on the island of Lombok earlier. For Dato Tengku Putra, Mataram know that he is the name of a kingdom on the island of Java, which in the 11th century and up to 12 kemasyhurannya recorded across the country, even made a material level of education in secondary schools there. Lombok past history and ethnic Sasak not clearly revealed. Keringnya reference and there is no scientific research on Lombok, so it can trace the history of Lombok footprint not much known. If a reasonable Solichin in Lombok Island Virgin write, not so much can be known about Lombok before the 17th century. Reference to any form of snippets, legends, myths, and of course the script Lontar still need to be scientifically. However, from the ethnographic evidence that simple, the findings of the goods and sites arkeologis in some places may be so fleeting image of the existence of ethnic Sasak. For example, early results watchlist Nasruddin and Dubel Driwantoro, both archeologists in the field of prehistoric Research and Development Center National Archeology, the artefacts found paleolitik (900,000 years ago) in the Village Sengkere, Pelambek village, Central Lombok, 24 February 2000. The findings that form subfosil tibia (tibia) ancient buffalo, serut type of shoe, berimbas ax, ax penetak, chip equipment, and other materials with the basalt stone and marble. Tinggalan resources arkeologis is quite old, allegedly from the top and middle plestosen (400000-100000 years ago). Previously, in 1976, the results of the Mount ekskavasi plates, Teruwai village, Central Lombok, found a number of equipment for the funeral procession and the thigh bone that live on the 4th century BC. Tools are a jug placed on the foot Jasad man who buried it. Then, in the century to century-up to 5 to 6-going wave of migration from the island of Java to Bali continue to Lombok, following a fall, and the kingdom of Daha Kalingga. From research Rulof Goris, said that sea transport is used by migrants cross to and from Lombok called Sak-Sak (bamboo raft). It also deepens the word, a literature expert Teeuw Indonesia's Dutch suspect words appear Sasak people of Lombok, the habit of wearing the turban of tembasak (white). Sasak that can be taken from the last syllable tembasak: Sak. Through the process of repetition, of Sak-Sak Sasak so ago. Sak-Sak in Sasak language means anything, or can be translated that anything that ignites, grow and develop is owned and shared identity in order to build cultural communities. This evidence or plural multicultural awareness has grown since early in Lombok, said Yamin M, Sasak cultural observer. It seems, senada with JCHaar observer pertenunan Lombok 1925, that grew from ethnic Sasak the compound, both of residence, religion, race which came from settling the west and east regions. AR Walace said, Sasak people can be categorized as derivative Malay. Indications are that Ahmad JD Sasak cultural observer other â €? With the Kampung Jawa, Kampung Banjar, Kampung Melayu, or the Arab village that is located in the provincial cities / districts on the island of Lombok, in addition to Manggarai Village (now Kerumut Pohgading Village, Lombok East), Kampung Tanjung Overseas (Foreign Tanjung village, Keruak District, East Lombok, the dominant ethnic population Bajo, Salayar), Winner of Kampung (name of village and district in West Lombok). The penghuninya now melt into the Sasak-Lombok, even though they still retain some aspects of the land of its ancestors. Since 11-century -Century to about 11, a tong-tong bronze numbered year 1077 BC found in Pujungan village, Tabanan, Bali, which was written after the power of the King Wungsu Children in Bali. Nekara that square with the letter reads Sasak Fund Prihan Srih Jaya Nira, which means that this is the object of the Sasak people. That is, the name and Lombok Sasak existing long before 11th century, or at least have known in writing in the 11th century. In the 14-century, the kingdom of Majapahit expedition of the entire archipelago also seem to drift in Lombok. In the book Negarakretagama paper called Prapanca mpu, Lombok Sasak Adinikalun Mirah. Suspected that the island and called for ethnic there. There is Pedewa in Mount Pujut, Central Lombok, a group of people in the village Sembalun, Sembalun District, East Lombok, who claim descent Majapahit, is the picture coming from the group of leaders of the kingdom of King Hayam Wuruk it. There is a puppet show lelendong (leather puppet) and wayang wong (people), the form of gamelan drum, kemong, gong in Lombok as known in Java and Bali is suspected by Parimartha, lecturer at the Faculty of Letters Udayana University, is the influence of Java menebarnya (Majapahit) in Lombok . Referring to the Goris, Parimartha said, the influence of Java entry Lombok years 1350-1500 BC. The arrival of the migrants with the infiltration Syiwa religion-Buddhist and Hindu-Buddhist to Lombok, or perhaps because of the existence of the mythical Mount Rinjani (now 3,726 meters high) that are considered holy places. Rinjani mastered the eternal leader Dewi Anjani, with Agung in Bali and Semeru (East Java) is a form serpihan Mount Himalaya in India. Semeru is the essence, the center of the Court, and the Rinjani peak. Therefore, when a ceremony in Pura Besakih, Bali, there must be Tirta's three mountain as a condition peranti event. After that the Kingdom of Karangasem Lombok Island (1691-1894), followed by the Netherlands and Japan, which affect the social life and political, social, culture, traditions, arts, architecture and agricultural sectors, in addition to the social problems of the local population. For example, the term keliang (at the village or gubug), pembekel (village heads), punggawa (camat), as the king's maid, is a model developed by the bureaucracy of the kingdom of that time. Building social cultural, political, and it may make other people marginalized by various local pressure from the government that time. For, they are just palace servant, obedient and obey the command to run the ruler. In the life of all oppressed, the people secretly build solidarity and participation in environmental komunalnya to survive. But never mind, that is the history that it should be understood and recognized as a travel group. Now the government is up to the range and Lombok in the community would like to learn from history, as well as a reference tool to control and menyiasati torrent of modern civilization paradox.
