View show details

In 1478, the once-mighty Majapahit empire, which had united much of the Indonesian archipelago under its rule, collapsed in a sudden, brutal assault on its capital, Trowulan. This episode explores the final days of Majapahit, focusing on the mysterious figure of Girindrawardhana, a usurper from Kediri who sacked the capital and ended the line of great Hindu-Buddhist kings. We examine the archaeological evidence from Trowulan's ruins, including the Candi Tikus and Candi Bajang Ratu, and piece together the political and religious turmoil that led to the empire's demise. We also discuss the rise of the Islamic sultanate of Demak, which filled the power vacuum, and the curious survival of Majapahit's legacy in the Balinese kingdom of Gelgel. Join Lucas and Luna as they unpack the dramatic end of one of Southeast Asia's greatest empires and its enduring influence on Indonesian history. #Majapahit #Trowulan #Girindrawardhana #Kediri #Demak #HinduBuddhist #1478 #JavaneseHistory #SoutheastAsia #CandiTikus #CandiBajangRatu #Pararaton #Gelgel #Bali #EmpireCollapse #Archaeology #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
