Medang Greatest Empire In South East Asia | Beyond Swiwijaya and Majapahit.

 

Medangs Kingdom of Java. The period between the late 8th and mid-9th centuries saw the flowering of classical Javanese art and architecture reflected in the rapid growth in temple construction, which adorned the royal landscape in Mataram. The famous temples built during the era of the Medang kingdom were Kalasan, Sewu, Borobudur and Prambanan. The Medang Kingdom we know is only known as the land of temple builders. 

 Very few historians discuss the area of ​​this Kingdom. Even though based on the Philippine Lagoon Inscription and the Thai Sdok Kak Thpm Inscription, the Medang Kingdom is the largest in Southeast Asia, surpassing Sriwijaya and Majapahit.
