legend of the first visayas?
396231
There are legends, which are compiled in the book Maragtas, which tells the story of the ten chiefs (Datus) who escaped from the tyranny of Datu Makatunaw from Borneo to the islands of Panay. The chiefs and followers are believed to be the ancestors of the Visayan people. The arrival is celebrated in the Festival of the Ati-Atihan in Kalibo, Aklan. While these are stories, they are believed to be based on actual facts and events which were compiled into a book by Pedro Alcantara Monteclaro, written in 1907.

Try "The Once and Future King" by T.H. White. Dynamite book. It's a fictional account, but it's an excellent read. For non-fiction, try "Pendragon: The Definitive Account of the Origins of Arthur" by Blake and Lloyd. It's got a ton of Arthurian info.

Troy is a good answer and certainly a famous one, but I'm going to go with Gordion, capital city of ancient Turkey but now no more. I wonder whether it had anything to do with the famous "Gordion Knot?" It was fun looking this up. Thanks for the question!

Dr. José Protacio Mercado Rizal y Alonzo Realonda \n(June 19, 1861 – December 30, 1896), \n\nvariously called the "Pride of the Malay Race," "The Great Malayan," "The First Filipino," "The Messiah of the Revolution," "The Universal Hero" and "The Messiah of the Redemption." He is the national hero of the Philippines. Despite his relatively short life, Rizal's passion as a patriot together with his intelligence as one of the first Third World intellectuals of the post-colonial era have inspired succeeding thinkers and revolutionaries of the centrality of national identity as a social force in the project of nation-building. He is called by Benedict Anderson as one of the best exemplars of nationalist thinking.

The earliest historical record is in Ujung Kulon National Park, West Java. An early Hindu archeological relic of a Ganesha statue from the 1st Century AD has been found on the summit of Mount Raksa in Panaitan Island.\n\nBased on archeological dig, there was a kingdom in Tatar Sunda / Sunda Territory (West Java) at second century AD. According to Dr Tony Djubiantono, the head of Bandung Archeology Agency, Jiwa Temple in Batujajar, Karawang, Java was built on the second century AD.\n\nThree rough plinths dating from the beginning of the fourth century are found in Kutai, East Kalimantan, near Mahakam River. The pliths are recorded in the Pallava script of India. The inscription reads: "A gift to the Brahmin priests".\n\nOn the "Batu Tulis" monument (huge black boulder) near Bogor, West Java, around 450 A.D king Purnawarna inscribed his name and made an imprint of his footprints, as well as his elephant's footprints. The accompanying inscription reads, 'Here are the footprints of King Purnawarna, the heroic conqueror of the world'. This inscription is in Sanskrit and is still clear after 1500 years.\n\nUnder the influences of Hinduism and Buddhism, several kingdoms formed on the islands of Sumatra and Java from the 7th to 14th century. The arrival of Arabs trading in spices later brought Islam, which became the dominant religion in many parts of the archipelago after the collapse of Hindu and Buddhist kingdoms. When the Portuguese came in early 16th century, they found a multitude of small states, vulnerable to the Portuguese, and later other Europeans wanting to dominate the spice trade. In the 17th century, the Dutch became the most powerful of the Europeans, ousting the Spanish and Portuguese (except for their colony of Portuguese Timor on the island of Timor). Dutch influence started with trading by the Dutch East India Company (VOC), a chartered private enterprise constituting a state in all but name, complete with its own fleet and army, which gradually expanded its influence and grip on political matters. Like the British, the Dutch mainly relied on indirect rule, using traditional native elites as vassals, while imposing their will and extracting major income under supervision by their colonial officials. After VOC was dissolved in 1799 by the Batavian Republic (Napoleon's Dutch satellite state) and the political instability from the Napoleonic Wars including partial British occupation, the East Indies were awarded to the United Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1815. Since then, the East Indies were officially ruled as the major colonies of the Dutch crown.\n\nUnder the 19th-century Cultivation System (Cultuurstelsel), large plantations and forced cultivation were established on Java, finally creating the profit for the Netherlands that the VOC had been unable to produce. In a more liberal period of colonial rule after 1870, the Cultivation System was abolished, and after 1901 the Dutch introduced the Ethical Policy, which included limited political reform and increased investment in the colony.\n\nDuring World War II, with the Netherlands under German occupation, Japan began a five-prong campaign in December 1941 towards Java and the vital fuel supplies of the Dutch East Indies. Though Japan captured Java by March 1942, it initially could not find any national leader willing to collaborate with the Japanese government against the Dutch. Eventually the Japanese commander ordered Sukarno’s release from his prison island, and in July 1942, Sukarno arrived in Jakarta. Sukarno and his colleagues collaborated with the Japanese occupiers. In 1945, with the war drawing to a close, Sukarno was made aware of an opportunity to declare independence. In response to lobbying, Japan agreed to allow Sukarno to establish a committee to plan for independence. Sukarno and Mohammad Hatta declared independence on 17 August.\n\nFollowing the defeat of Japan in the World War, the Netherlands' Army, at fi

Anjaneri a spiritual place lies before Tryambakeshwar infact before Bramhagiri mountain. This is the birth place of Hanuman. I think Hanuman and other Vanars were as much a monkey as LITTE is tiger or Australians Kangaroo. It was just name of the tribe.\n\n\nThe answerer above is rude. Ramayana is history and there is as much evidence as possible about such an old story. Most importantly you should learn to respect beliefs of others.

THE LEGEND\n \nTHE PAST\nAfter the 500 year civil war, on the ancient world of Archon, Lord Zaroff and his followers were banished to the worlds they had conquered earlier. Without the protection of the home-world's filtered sun, large numbers of Archonians depended on the blood of their conquered masses to survive. Lord Drocer of Archon became concerned that the banished Archonians had turned into nothing more than soulless killers. An army of Archonian women, mighty in battle, were sent to the conquered worlds to seek out and destroy the soulless monsters that had moved to the darkness of the underworld. These mighty warriors were known as Slayers of the doomed. After many millennia, the Slayers accomplished their mission. Only one was left on each world to Slay any of the doomed that might remain. Their female decendents will continue the hunt for the doomed.\n\nTHE PRESENT\nIn every generation there is a chosen one. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer.

I'm an old timer who got interested in Sri Lank forty years ago. I was fascinated by the Kandy Empire, the legend of Adam's peak, the singing shellfish at Lake Batticaloa, the construction of the ancient tanks among many other things. I read a book that I still find interesting called "Jungle Tide". I forget the author's name but he must have written it during the British occupation as he was English. I am sure there are many other fascinating archaeological and educational opportunities in your country, which, I regret, I never did visit. Still, after 40 years, my interest has been retained by what I read. My very best wishes with your project.
