The existence of the community in Java is believed by many
researchers to be migrants from outside the archipelago. Referring to the
education banner installed in the History of Java museum, most experts indeed
agree that the existence of the Javanese community which was the beginning of
civilization as we know it today is marked by immigration from other regions.
From 2,000 BC to 500 BC (from the Neolithic Stone Age to the
Bronze Age) there has been a migration of ancient populations from the Yunan
region (South China) to areas in southern Asia including the Indonesian
archipelago. This large-scale displacement is thought to be due to a major
natural disaster or tribal war.
This is expressed by Von Heine Geldern backdropped by the
discovery of ancient human equipment in the form of square-shaped stone pickaxe
in all parts of Indonesia including Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, and Sulawesi.
This equipment is exactly the same as other Asian equipment such as Myanmar,
Vietnam, Malaysia and Cambodia especially around Yunan region.
The islands of southern Asia by Geldern are named Austronesia
which means South Island (Austro = South, Nesos = Island). Austronesia covers
the islands of Madagascar (south) to Easter Island (East), and Taiwan (north)
to New Zealand (the South).
While the study of language by Brandes and forwarded by Kern who
examines 113 languages in the archipelago, and supported by Poerbotjaraka in
"History of Indonesia volume I" strengthen the theory of Austronesian
by stating that to all languages of the region originally originated from a
language family, named Austronesian.
C.G.H. Turner and D.R. Swindler in the identification of dental
and skeleton phenotypes concluded that the race of Australo or Southern
Mongoloid with the Melanesian race actually had the same ancestor, which in the
late Pleistocene, the ancestors of the two races inhabited Southeast Asia.
Southeast Asian areas considered to be the ancestral origins of ethnic tribes
inhabitants of the archipelago, include the Champa (Vietnam), Tonkin Gulf, and
Yunnan in southwest China. Thus, the race of Australo or Southern Mongoloid who
mingle with the Melanesian race, becomes a new race and is called
Australo-Melanesia, which develops with the race of Australo or Southern
Mongoloid, then divided into Proto Malay race and Deutro Melayu race.
Approximately in 1500 BC Proto Melayu came to Indonesia through
two lanes / roads, the west road, that is through Malaya - Sumatra and the east
road, that is through the Philippines - North Sulawesi.
Proto Malay people has a culture that is higher level than the
culture of Homo Sapiens Indonesia.
Their culture is Neolithic (neo = new,
lithos = stone).
This comprehensive discussion can be found in the History of Java
museum in Yogyakarta. This museum deliberately displays its collection with
chronological references to the period.
The museum is located in Jl Parangtritis KM 5.5 Bantul Yogyakarta
Special Region. In this pyramid-shaped museum, the concept of eduarteinment is
indeed a mainstay. All display collections with supporting technologies such as
augmented reality and 3D movies. This new museum does seek information and
education in the content it presents, but still does not leave artistic and
entertainment aspects.
So, Just come out to this museum, when studying the past without
boring. !
