- Ancient Beginnings: About 1 million years ago, early humans lived on the island of Java. Known as Java Man, these ancient people hunted animals and gathered wild plants to survive in the thick forests.
- Early Kingdoms & Sacred Places: Over time, these Indian traders brought new beliefs. By 400 CE, the Kutai kingdom in Borneo set up large stone pillars, called yupas, carving the first written Hindu words in Indonesia.
- Trade, Cities & Big Ideas: Around 800 CE, the Mataram rulers used their wealth to build something amazing. Workers stacked thousands of volcanic stones to create Borobudur, a giant Buddhist temple shaped like a stepped mountain.
