Ant -- At that time, 5 April 1815, Mount Tambora on Sumbawa getting restless, "cough-cough" and rumble. This condition continues to occur, climax, on 11 and 12 April, he erupted. Like the earth was shaken, the eruptions sounds more than 2,000 kilometers, the dust flew into the sky - the sky was pitch black until many days.
That is the most powerful eruption ever recorded in history.
Imagine, hot lava, stones flying, and deadly gases out of stomachs Tambora, claiming tens of thousands of people around him.
The effect was even felt in other parts of the world - Europe and North America experienced a long winter. Snow fell in the middle of winter in Australia and South Africa. Years passed without a summer, "The year without summer" - when the temperature is very cold, humans and animals froze, crops failed, and people were terrified, thinking that time will end soon.
Upcoming April 2015, will be celebrated two centuries of Tambora eruption. One that will be demonstrated to the world are sites that are found in the surrounding mountains: the remnants of ancient civilizations and the framework of two adults Tambora ash buried at a depth of 3 meters. Allegedly, it is the remains of a tragic kingdom of Tambora 'preserved' by the impact of the massive eruption that.
The finding was later made Tambora earned the nickname, "Pompeii of the East." Is the name of the Roman town of Pompeii near Naples, Italy who swept away by the massive eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The city was buried under a giant pile of ash and disappeared over 1,600 years before it was rediscovered by accident.
Three kingdoms buried
Before amok Tambora, there are three powerful kingdoms around it: Tambora, Concentrated and Studio. Until now, research has not been able to ascertain where exactly the location of the three kingdoms of buried ash, dust and lava Tambora.
Researcher Institute for Archaeology Denpasar, Made Grie said, one reason, to the present findings of historical objects in Mount Tambora is still small. Although, the research team Archaeology Denpasar recently discovered the framework of traditional houses made of wood. The house consists of a roof made of reeds and some furniture that has been ravaged.
"There has been no new findings around Tambora, just recently we found the framework of a traditional house like a custom home residents Bima," said Made Grie to VIVAnews.com a call from Mataram.
The house, Grie Made up like a house on stilts that are likely part of the Kingdom of Tambora residential community. Even so, Grie can not be sure exactly where the palace Tambora. He suspected the existence of the palace are located around the coffee plantations in the district of Tambora.
In addition to the house, the team also found a number of other historic objects such as kris, shards of pottery, loom, rope horses, and jewelry. According to him, the findings of a team of archaeologists Denpasar it ranges between 10 and more items. Now the findings were kept in the Central Archaeological Denpasar to be investigated.
The findings, further Made Grie indicating the presence of the two kingdoms namely Concentrated and Tambora. As for the royal studio still needs further research.
Made Grie explained, the existence of two kingdoms - Tambora and Concentrated geographically possible in coffee plantations. Because the location of the coffee plantations are quite spacious and overlooks the Port of Boxwood. "But that need research and we learn more. I have an indication of the location of the imperial presumption Tambora field located at the ground in a coffee plantation," he said.
Not only that, another indication that needs to be studied, said Made Grie, is the existence of Dutch colonists who had dominion, is possible if the foundation of the royal palace that was refurbished. This means that the Netherlands could be making a new foundation on the foundation of the empire, thus requiring accuracy to determine whether the remains of the palace Tambora is still there.
The prediction, according to Made will be followed up first ever discovery of a human skeleton. Until now the Institute for Archaeology Denpasar has not made a map of the empire as a whole related to the existence of the Tambora and Concentrated.
He was sure, the existence of kesulatanan Tambora is the central region's economy. The place was predicted as a regional supply of commodities and export-import in Bima. Thus, it takes a long time and certainly power to unravel the mysteries of the kingdom of Tambora and Concentrated are buried by the eruption of Mount Tambora.
