Also known as the island of Sumatra Andalas.At the time of the 18th Dynasty Pharaoh in Egypt (around 1.567SM-1.339SM), on the west coast of Sumatra island has no bustling port, with the name of Barus. Barus (Lobu Tua – Tapanuli) is estimated to have been around 3000 years before Christ. Barus is known as the place of origin of mothballs. Turns camphor or camphor is used as a preservative one mummy of ancient Egyptian pharaohs.

In addition Barus, Sumatra there are also other ancient kingdoms. A source tells the Ancient Jewish manuscripts bekalan gold to build state of the Kingdom of Prophet Solomon was taken from an ancient kingdom in the Far East called Ophir.

Kalimantan forests containing peat can be used as an energy source for electricity generation and heating instead of coal. Remarkable turns Kalimantan has many uranium reserves that could be used for nuclear power plants. Besides, Kalimantan also has another potential that is as a provider of botanical or renewable energy sources. Botanical source of energy or bioenergy is from CPO palm. Memangsangat rich island of Borneo.

Sulawesi – Iron Island

Arabs refer to Sulawesi as Sholibis. The Dutch called this island by the name of Celebes. The island has been inhabited by humans since 30,000 years ago as evidenced by the presence of ancient relics on the island.

Papua – Paradise Island

Papua is the second largest island in the world. At around the year 200 AD, Geography expert named Ptolamy LABADIOS call it by name. At the end of the year 500 AD, the Chinese author Yu Ghau named Kua TUNGKI name, and by the end of the year 600 AD, the kingdom of Srivijaya Papua name by using the name JANGGI. Tidore give a name to this island and its people as PAPA-UA that has changed the designation to be PAPUA. In 1545, Inigo Ortiz de Guinee Retes NUEVA name and there are other sailors who named ISLA DEL ORO which means the Island of Gold. Robin Osborne in his book, Indonesias Secret War: The Guerilla Struggle in Irian Jaya (1985), Indonesia’s easternmost province dubbed as paradise lost.It is not known whether the BC ancient civilizations in Papua has been there kingdom. It could be that there has been an ancient advanced civilization in Papua. At a conference on road and traffic lights in 1963 in Pretoria (South Africa), CS Downey argued about an isolated settlement in the middle of dense forest Wilhelmina Mountains (Peg. Trikora) in the Western New Guinea (Papua) which have advanced lighting system. The merchants who with great difficulty succeeded in penetrating into this settlement to tell horror illumination light very brightly lit than a few months at the poles there. The light bulbs seem strangely shining as the sun began to set and continue to burn throughout the night every day. We do not know the truth of this story but if true it is a remarkable thing and should continue to be investigated.

Papua has been known for its natural resources since the first. In the 18th century AD, the ruler of the kingdom of Srivijaya, sending offerings to the Chinese empire. Inside there are several offerings that birds of paradise, which is believed to be the bird of paradise garden which is native of Papua. With a strong fleet Sriwijaya visiting Maluku and Papua to trade spices – spices, perfume – perfume, pearls and feathers Bird of Paradise.

Papua is famous for its gold production in the world’s biggest and various mining and natural resources that are so abundant. Papua is also touted as a small paradise that fell to earth. Papua is a biodiversity haven left on earth today. In 2006 reported a survey team consisting of American explorers, Indonesia and Australia conducted a review in some areas Foja mountains of Papua province of Indonesia. There they discover a magical place they call “the lost world”, and “Garden of Eden on earth”, with dozens of species of bird watching, butterflies, frogs and plants that have not been recorded in history. If managed properly, the Papuans could be more prosperous with the abundant natural wealth.

So a few posts about the islands in Indonesia is very rich. From this work, that Indonesia is known as a rich earth since the time of ancient civilizations. We do not know what ancient civilization actually existed in this archipelago. There may have been an ancient civilization and prosper in Indonesia unrecorded history. Brazilian scientist, Prof.. Dr.. Aryso Santos, confirmed the theory that Atlantis is the area that is now called Indonesia. Indonesia is a region which is considered as the heir of Atlantis. Plato says that Atlantis was a prosperous country that the sun bathed all the time.

Oppenheimer in the book “Eden in the East: The Drowned Continent of Southeast Asia”, asking that the Sundaland (Indonesia) is the Garden of Eden (Garden of Eden). that the Garden of Eden (Eden) was not in the Middle East, but rather in Sundaland. Indonesia is a beautiful and fertile land that lies in the path of the fire ring (pacific ring of fire), which indicated the presence of more than 500 volcanoes in Indonesia. Indonesia could be called a paradise surrounded by a ring of fire. But regardless of whether or not we all agree to say that the fact that Indonesia is a country very rich in agricultural produce, sea and culture.

Native Indonesian culture has lived thousands of years before the Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations began writing on a rock. Indonesian civilization probably does not begin with the tradition of writing, but oral tradition has been rooted in the life and soul of the ancient people of our nation.

Indonesia Natural wealthy and well cared for by our ancestors also become one of the factors that make the archipelago a source of world attention. Indonesia is a country located at the equator which has abundant natural resources in addition to its strategic location geographically. Natural resources ranging from marine resources, forests, minerals to spread from Sabang to Merauke. Many are now beginning to find new mines in Indonesia. Indonesian people will be surprised by the wealth of nature what else will emerge from within the Earth Indonesia.

The rich earth if managed properly will make all the people of Indonesia can gain tremendous wealth so that it can be a time the people of Indonesia have no need to be taxed as it is today, and all the facilities can be enjoyed for free thanks to the abundance of natural resources that are shared to the people fairly. Indonesia needs is a good ruler, a very fair and good at loving people and reject any form of public policy difficult. It is time for Indonesia to rise towards glory. If it can be done Indonesia richest country in the world.
