Sailboat Expedition Exploration Relief in a country full of history
There is a number of historical evidence that shows that at the beginning of the first millennium, the ancestors of the bumiputra had made long-distance connections by sea, crossing the ocean to the African continent. Traces of the cultural presence of the archipelago in Madagascar and South Africa can still be traced there
Historian Dick-Read (2005) states that historical evidence shows the discovery of phantom voyagers from the archipelago that have arrived on African soil, although it is not clear who they are and how they can get to Madagascar and Africa. What is also a question is how they were able to reach.far country across the ocean. What kind of transportation equipment is used, how is the construction and how the navigation system. One clue that might be key is a picture of a relief in the form of a sailboat engraved on the walls of Borobudur Temple, Magelang, Central Java
Borobudur Temple was built around the 8th century Maseshi. In this temple there are five pictures of sailboat reliefs which show that at that time a boat with a double screen was known and had outrigger to maintain the equilibrium of the boat. Construction of outrigger boat bodies is no different from the others. Outrigger is a float on both sides of the boat whose function is to maintain balance. The addition of the outrigger, made the boat not easily drowned due to the impact of ocean waves. The toughness of outrigger boats has been proven and recognized today
