INDONESIA THE UNTOLD STORIES

The Ministry of Communication and Information Technology is proud to present this
publication to the public containing various treasure the country has that perhaps many of
us know little about. That is why we title this publication as Indonesia; The Untold Stories.
Over many years of development and in pursuit of our own identity, we have come to
realize that many information, history, geography, anthropology, culture, national treasure
and many more nations belongings we learnt from the west. In fact, our existence as
a nation which dated back to thousands of years ago had very little place in the world
history. Only after foreign settlement in Indonesia, we then began our nation and all its vast
diversity being told to the public.

a clear path towards our destiny and help develope a direction for the future path towards
prosperity.
We hope this publication will bring about pride and joy to everyone who simply never

to all of us.

DEDET SURYA NANDIKA
Indonesia which spans over 5,000 kilometers from east to west or

equivalent range of Vladivostok to Sweden is a country of endless
wonders and diversity waiting to be discovered. Out of 17,500 islands less
than 6% even have names. No wonder if Indonesia is called with many
precious phrases; from the jewels of equator, the amazon of the sea, the
most diverse rainforest, and most of all the custodian of coral reef triangle.
Our oceans contribute over 30% of air all creatures breathe in this planet.

RUN ISLAND, MOLUCCAS,
MORE VALUABLE THAN

MANHATTAN, NEW YORK
In late 17th century, a far away little island called Run in Moluccas was heavily
disputed by the Dutch and the British; all in the interest of dominating the worlds
major spices. The two eventually ceased fighting and signed a treaty and agreed
to exchange Manhattan Island in New York (formerly New Amsterdam) with Run
Island, the worlds top nutmeg producer. Nutmeg was then more valuable and
much more needed than gold.

SPICES TO SPICE UP LIVES
uch of Indonesian history recorded

on the global history is founded on
the explorers pursuance of exotic
goods and trading materials. The European

fleet of merchant ships went to Indonesia in the
16th century was primarily attracted because
of the abundance of spices particularly in the
15
tip eastern part of Indonesia. No wonder this

country is called the Spice Islands. These
spices were not just in high demand in Europe,
some of them were even more precious than
gold. Exotic goods from far away islands were
considered perfect gifts for their Majesties,
Kings or Queens of these European Kingdoms.
Famous explorer such as Columbus, Marco
Polo, Magellan and Vasco de Gama were
among thousand of others who journeyed a
world and beyond and set foot on these islands
Columbus believed he had

reached the East Indies
(now Indonesia and
beyond or Nusantara)
which was his
predetermined
destination. He
called the islanders
as INDIOS which
was later more popular
as INDIAN.

almost equal to the annual allocation for special

Fort Vredeburg in Yogyakarta, Fort Rotterdam in Makassar of South Celebes, and Fort
Marlborough in Bengkulu are still standing tall in excellent physical condition, serving as
important city landmark. The forts in Indonesia served not only as protection from enemy,
but also as a place for trade activities. Therefore, the architecture combined military
architecture with rooms for traders from office, warehouse, place of worship, hospital, to

The forts resemble a complex or a small town consisting of various facilities for the
community living in the forts. Generally, the forts were situated along the coast near
harbor, or along river banks.
