Majapahit's Malayu Embassy: The 1286 Expedition That Shifted Power

Long before Hayam Wuruk and Gajah Mada, a pivotal event reshaped the archipelago: the 1286 CE Majapahit expedition to Malayu (Jambi). This episode unpacks the stone inscriptions, the Amoghapasa statue, and the political maneuvering that extended Majapahit's reach to Sumatra. We explore King Kertanagara's vision, the rivalry with Srivijaya, and how this early campaign set the stage for the Palapa Oath. Featuring details from the Negarakertagama and the Padang Roco inscription, we see how a single statue became a tool of diplomacy and dominance. #Majapahit #Malayu #Kertanagara #Srivijaya #Amoghapasa #PadangRoco #Negarakertagama #Sumatra #Jambi #PalapaOath #GajahMada #HayamWuruk #1286Expedition #MedievalIndonesia #Nusantara #SoutheastAsianHistory #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
