The political crisis that
occurred in 927-929 AD
Economic considerations External conflict with the
Sriwijaya Kingdom
16. 1 The eruption of Mount Merapi which issued lava
The first factor was caused by the eruption of Mount
Merapi, which is located in parts of Yogyakarta and
Central Java, which released lava which ravaged the
ruins so that the lava from the eruption buried the
temples built by the kingdom to be damaged. All-
powerful disasters are considered by poets, it is
called pralaya and this event is believed to have
occurred in the range of the year 800 or 1006 AD. In
fact, the eruption at that time caused the Ancient
Mataram Kingdom to move to East Java which had
changed the course of the history of Javanese
civilization and was considered the forerunner of a
new dynasty, namely the Isana House or the era of
Sri Maharaja Rakai Hino Sri Isana
Wikramadharmottunggadewa or Mpu Sindok.
17. 2. The political crisis that occurred in 927-929 AD
The second factor that caused the ancient Mataram
Kingdom to be destroyed was the political crisis that
occurred in 927-929 AD which was caused by a
power struggle between the princes in the Ancient
Mataram Kingdom when Sri Maharaja Rakai
Watukura Dyah Baliltung Dharmodaya Mahasambu
(Wawa) was in power. The power struggle caused
war between princes, so that the ancient Mataram
kingdom in Central Java became chaotic and
destroyed.In addition, the transfer of the Ancient
Mataram Kingdom from Central Java to East Java
was carried out to avoid political enemies such as the
Sriwijaya Kingdom, where the Srivijaya Kingdom at
that time was a large kingdom which was the center
of the maritime empire in Southeast Asia.
18. 3. Economic considerations
The third factor is due to economic considerations that led to
the collapse of the Kingdom and the displacement of the
Ancient Mataram Kingdom (also caused by the eruption of
Mount Merapi). The factors that led to the transfer of power
from the Mataram Kingdom of Ancient Hindu Central Java to
East Java were due to the infertile areas of Central Java.
Then it was moved to East Java which has fertility and also
East Java which is different from Central Java, in East Java
there are two large rivers that flow into the sea, namely the
Bengawan Solo and the Brantas River.The Bengawan Solo
and Brantas rivers are wide and deep rivers and in the X
century they were easily navigated by boats or large ships as
far as the interior to Mojokerto, while small boats could sail
further afield. to the interior to Kediri. With large rivers that
can be navigated by large boats far inland, the East Java
region is more profitable for trading activities.
