🇸🇬 | Before Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles founded the modern state of Singapore, long before that the present Singapore region was the center of an ancient kingdom. The Kingdom of Singapura was a Malay Hindu-Buddhist kingdom thought to have been established during the early history of Singapore upon its main island Temasek from 1299 until its fall sometime between 1396 and 1398. Conventional view marks c. 1299 as the founding year of the kingdom by Sang Nila Utama (also known as "Sri Tri Buana"), whose father is Sang Sapurba, a semi-divine figure who according to legend is the ancestor of several Malay monarchs in the Malay World Sang Nila Utama was a prince from Palembang ( Indonesia nowadays) and is the founder of the Kingdom of Singapura in 1299. His official title adopted upon his coronation was Sri Tri Buana , which can be translated as "Lord of Three Worlds"; the "Three Worlds" may refer to the three realms of the universe—the heaven of the gods, the world of humans, and the underworld of demons or his lordship over Java, Sumatra and Temasek/Singapura. This title is attested to elsewhere in Southeast Asia. The Singapore Stone is a fragment of a large sandstone slab which originally stood at the mouth of the Singapore River. The large slab, which is believed to date back to at least the 13th century and possibly as early as the 10th or 11th century, bore an undeciphered inscription. Recent theories suggest that the inscription is either in Old Javanese or in Sanskrit, which suggested a possibility that the island was an extension of the Majapahit civilization in the past. ---------- 📸Inscribed sandstone known as the 'Singapore Stone, C. 10th-14th century, Collection of National Museum of Singapore.
