Keris know Gandring mpu

2009-05-23T21:47:00.000-07:00

KERIS Gandring MPU weapons inheritance is famous in the history of the Kingdom of Singasari in the area of Malang, East Java now. Keris is famous because kutukannya victims who ate from the elites and the founders of Singasari including users, Ken Arok. Keris is made by a blacksmith who is known fairy named MPU Gandring, on the order Ken Arok, a bandit leader who according to a Brahmin named Vishnu Lohgawe the bead.

Ken Arok keris this book to the MPU Gandring the time one night only, which is a nearly impossible job by the "mpu" (a clever title for a very sacred metal) at that time. However MPU Gandring menyanggupinya with charm too. Even before the strength of "transferred" to the keris buatannya the ability to add and kesaktian keris is.

Once finished with a keris form the perfect shape and even has the ability supranatural reputedly said that the keris inheritance beyond that time. Mpu Gandring complete the job is to make sarong keris. But not yet finished glove is made, Ken Arok come take a keris, which according to him one day and have taken haris. Ken Arok and then test the keris Keris and the last is ditusukkannya the MPU Gandring seems that according to him does not fulfill the promise (as sarong keris is under construction) even told the rest to test the ability of the keris is the power of the keris supranatural (which is stored in the keris to add capacity). In agony, mpu Gandring issued a condemnation that the keris will ask the victim lives seven derived from Ken Arok. In the way, the keris is involved in the murder of the elites and the Kingdom of the Singhasari:

Killed his Tunggul Ametung

Ametung pole, the head region Tumapel (embryo of Singhasari) which is subordinate at the time of the Kadiri Kingdom at that time Kertajaya be governed by the title "boiler Gendis" (last king of this kingdom). Tumapel itself is a fraction of a large kingdom that is used to Jenggala which destroyed the kingdom of Kadiri, where both initial region is one led by Airlangga.

Ken Arok killed Tunggul Ametung to get a beautiful wife, Ken musk. Ken Arok own employees at that time is of the belief that Tunggul Ametung very reliable. Background of this is due to hear from Ken Arok Brahmana Lohgawe that "those who marry Ken musk akan became King World."

Before Ken Arok killed Tunggul Ametung, keris is loaned to colleagues, who called Kebo Ijo interested with the keris and always brought bawanya-where to go to attract the public. For Ken Arok himself, borrowing the keris as a strategy that is later accused of by the public is Kebo Ijo Tumapel in the case of the murder itself was designed by Ken Arok. Siasatnya successful and almost all public Tumapel including some officials believe that the Kebo Ijo is a murder suspect Tunggul Ametung. Ken Arok was the time that people trust Tunggul Ametung direct killing Kebo Ijo people say that, with the inheritance of the keris.

Ken Arok killed his

After the murder Tunggul Ametung, Ken Arok taking occupation, marry Ken musk that it was the influence and expand Tumapel until finally able to destroy the kingdom of Kediri. Ken Arok eventually establish their own kingdom Singhasari. Apparently this murder case tercium by Anusapati, the child with his father Ken musk Tunggul Ametung. Anusapati, who was appointed by Ken Arok children about all the events from his mother, Ken and musk bertekat for the reply. Anusapati the design of reckoning with the murder told a Pendekar sacred belief, Ki motive.

At the time alone in a room hereditary kingdom, Ken Arok the inheritance of the kingdom assets. One of the heritage that is held without a sarong keris made MPU Gandring known as Keris Gandring MPU. Ceceran see blood on the keris, the fear he felt to be more supernatural voice of the keris in the request tumbal. He remembers the curse Gandring MPU dibunuhnya, and necessarily mebantingnya to land until destroyed in pieces. He intends destroy. However, the keris was cut and disappeared. While Anusapati Ki motivation to design and murder, and suddenly the keris is located in the hands of Anusapati. Anusapati submit to the keris Ki motive that language now, served as "eksekutor" of Ken Arok. Task is the implementation, and to remove the impression, Anusapati Ki motive to kill it with a keris.

Killed his Anusapati

Anusapati government took over Ken Arok, but not long. Because Tohjaya, son of Ken Arok's Ken Umang finally find out that the murder case. And also demanded Tohjaya reply. Tohjaya the event Sabung Chicken kingdom a very Anusapati tune. When Anusapati nonchalant, taking Tohjaya keris Gandring MPU and direct in her place. Tohjaya to kill him under penalty where murder is believed Anusapati Ken Arok. After the murder Anusapati, Tohjaya himself as the king Anusapati replace.

Tohjaya own rule not long. Appear different in both the dissatisfaction among the people and even among the elite palace is his brother and his family own, among Mahisa Campaka Lembu and Dyah Tal. Insatiability this palace intrigue, and finally flame war, which caused a catastrophe Tohjaya. After successfully mastered the situation, the kingdom of the throne Ranggawuni followed by the rule long enough and it is said is the peaceful kingdom Singasari. Since terbunuhnya Tohjaya, Keris Gandring MPU rimbanya lost is not known.

7 derivative Ken Arok

Keris MPU Gandring this according to some sources spritual not actually lost. In the sense of lost and destroyed not really discovered her. In this section would not discuss the problem. In this section wish to invite the readers to analyze the moment "keampuahan" or "luck" of the keris and the author (MPU Gandring).

At the end of the hayatnya at the tip of the keris buatannya own, mpu Gandring condemns Ken Arok, that the keris will swallow seven descendants of the victims of Ken Arok. Now let's countdown. In history and legend that we know, the "only" have 6 (six) of the person killed by Keris MPU Gandring. Namely: 1. Mpu Gandring, Creator of the Keris. 2. Kebo Ijo, colleagues Ken Arok. 3. Ametung stake, not Tumapel at the time. 4. Ken Arok, founder of the Kingdom of Singasari. 5. Anusapati, Children who kill musk Ken Ken Arok. 6. Tohjaya, the Son of Ken Arok with Ken Umang.

From that list, the "only" six people killed with MPU Keris Gandring. That was only 1 (offspring) of Ken Arok killed with MPU Keris Gandring. If Ken Arok "is" included in the list of 7 people who "cursed", then there is a new two (2) the person's Trah Ken Arok killed with the Keris Gandring MPU. While the list is not a relative other times of Ken Arok itself. Well, if "luck" curse of the MPU truly effective. So we must begin the genealogy of our family. Perhaps still included in the "Trah" (Family of the descendants of Ken Arok) we know that "new" 1 person from the descendants of Ken Arok who was slain with the keris. Or there are at least two, if Ken Arok included. Or can be condemnation not only of the MPU in 7 people including the descendants of Ken Arok, but only 7 people and it can be anyone. However we still need to be careful, because the keris is not yet fully take 7 human lives, still have 1 alias more people waiting to turn killed by Keris MPU Gandring. Or so we hope it is not MPU Gandring "seampuh" legendanya, as evidenced by failure to meet the deadline of making the keris order Ken Arok.

The characteristics of the findings listed in the top layer of the excavation of the cultural patterns of industrial equipment Mesolitik flakes (from more fresh raw material) and bone industry, while in the bottom layer is an industry that tends to be more masif (with the dominant patinasi thick and teroksidasi ) that characterize cultural Palaeotilik. From the results of the identification of (temporary) to the findings in the industry litik Song Honestly, it is known that several types of equipment category groups, namely groups masif tools that tend to form larger groups than non-masif (shale blade). Type of group masif tools are: penetak chopper (chopping tools), ax perimbas (choppers), at the stone (hammers), and shale-chip that are large, while the instruments of non-masif of which are shale-shale that have a characteristic impression-the impression, among others: blade (blades), serut side (side scrapers), serut concave (notched scrapers), serut edge (end scrapers), lancipan (point), and drill (borer).

In connection with the exploitation of resources in the Song Terus fauna, with the apparent dibuktikannya a number of findings which is very abundant and dense in each of the excavation. Remains of fauna in the form of bone-bone that is still intact and fragmentary, tooth-teeth, and the skull with a mixed-heritage and heritage artefacts ekofak other. From the results of the analysis carried out on the findings of the remains of fauna, and there are four known classes of classes "of" Song on the vertebrata, the type of fish (class Pisces), this type of fauna creep (class reptilia), types of birds (class Aves), and types of animal feed (class mammals). Of them, which is very dominant type of monkey / monkeys (Macaca sp), the type of water buffalo, cattle, and bison (Bovidae) and the type of deer and deer (Cervidae).

Utilization of resources in the Song Terus fauna was not only used as food (consumer) only, but some of the data obtained showed that some fraction bones used as tools, especially the type of long bones and the fibula, and the horns of animals Macaca sp, Hovidae, and Cervidae. Equipment is generally shaped spatula (spatula) and lancipan needle.

Exploitation of resources in the Song Terus fauna is not only limited to the land fauna (especially from the filum Vertebrata), but also from the biota marin (sea). Until this far, the type of findings in the body shell oysters Song Terus findings is that after quite a lot of industry and litik remnant fauna. Identification of the rest of the body shell shell shows that this comes from the filum Moluska, which consists of class Gostropoda, Pelecypoda, and Chepolopoda. In general, the type of body shell oysters from Veneridoe family is finding the most dominant and much used as a tool to shape serut (scrapeks). The existence of the remains of fauna in the context of culture and housing in the Song Terus clearly shows a bound closely with the people of the cave. Fauna is likely derived from the area around the hunting and searching in the river, lake or beach in the area.

Tinggalan existence of a culture in the Song Terus very closely related with the remains of a human is estimated as the cave itself. From the results of the research conducted so far, tinggalan remains of a man found in the Song Terus very very limited, and the quantity is very less in number compared with other findings. In general, the findings are concrete fragments (fraction) skull, bones, finger bones, and teeth-teeth that are not separated evenly on each box ekskavasi. However, when it is associated with some of the findings of remains of human characteristics and findings from the same site caves other housing in East Java, the system of housing and burial ceremony in the cave / recess pattern shows a culture that developed during the Mesolitik , as well as in the Song Keplek, Lawa Cave (Sampung), and Song Gentong (Tulungagung).

From the results of the analysis of some of the charcoal samples, soil (sediment), and rock in the context of culture in the Song Terus, successful history in mind that housing is unique enough to reach over a very long time. Dismantling of the results, note that this site has at least two different housing characteristics in terms of the review krono-culture. At the top of the culture is one of the main Mesolitik with industry litik and bone is in progress between 5770 - 8340 BP, while in the lower part of the industry is that tends to be more masif and culture characterized Palaeolitik held between 56,000 to 160,000 BP. The very interesting because a growing layer of culture is far more rooted in the early period Plestosen. This proves that the Song is on residential sites that have a "cultural sequence" of length. At the top of the layer which is a characteristic Mesolitik have the same age with the site Keplek Song, and at the bottom of the layer characterized by a culture Palaeolitik estimated from the existing anchor Plestosen Top.

Ancient Human Weapon Found Residents in Sangiran

KERIS (Bring Pain Tosan Aji)

2009-04-16T00:06:00.000-07:00

It's saying that states: "The award depends on someone because busananya." Perhaps saying that the views of born psychologist who build on cleanliness, hygiene clothing that someone used that shows character or characters that are in the people themselves.

In the community of Central Java, in general, for a in the particular, for example, the marriage ceremony, the people must be put on clothing prianya ox jangkep (Java fully dressed). And obligations that must be obeyed, especially by men, bridegroom, the need to use / wear clothing styles of Javanese batik berkain namely, the clothing, headgear (kuluk) and also sebilah keris diselipkan in the waist. Why should the keris? Because of the keris by the community is represented in Java as a symbol of "manliness." And sometimes, when the bride as a prianya berhalangan attend a ceremony in the meeting, he represented sebilah kris. Keris is a symbol of heritage.

This view was actually from the Java community trust first, that the existence mahkluk began early in the earth or in the world comes from agrarian philosophy, namely the element of menyatunya male with female elements. In this world Allah, being created in the two types of sex that men and women, whether human, animal, or plant life. Belief in the agrarian philosophy is very basic in the family environment of Karaton in Java, such as Karaton Kasunanan Surakarta, Yogyakarta Kasultanan, and others. Spirituality is the beginning of Hinduism that have been adopted by the community in Java. Then, the trust appears on the sky father and earth mother / Pertiwi. Which is also close to the philosophical belief in the agrarian society in the form of Java realized ceremony carnival on the inheritance of Sura in the calendar with the Java inheritance mengkirabkan excellent Karaton consisting of a sharp weapon: spear inheritance, large knife (bendho). Procession pengirab heirdom superior weapons Karaton go around while Karaton complex concentrate, feelings, and seeking to praise the Almighty Creator of the universe, to obtain protection, happiness, prosperity and spiritual birth.

The main function of sharp weapons from the first inheritance is a means to defend themselves from enemy attack, and animals or to kill the enemy. But then the function of the sharp weapons such as spears or keris inheritance inheritance is changed. In peacetime, sometimes people only use the keris as a ceremonial pomp completeness clothing at the meeting. Keris was then decorated with a diamond or diamond on the upper base of the keris. Sarungnya even made of metal in such a beautifully carved, gold-plated as a sparkler

pride users. Then, the keris is not frustrated commodity business into a high value.

Tosan Aji weapons or inheritance is not only the kris and spear typical Java only, but almost all regions in Indonesia have sharp weapons are hereditary, such as in Aceh rencong, badik in Makasar, sword, spear culminate tig (trident), keris bali, and other -other.

When Sultan Agung Kadipaten Pati attack with a degree of war Garudha Nglayang, Supit Urang, Wukir Jaladri, or degree Dirada Meta, soldiers who accompany the use of spear guns face carved image kalacakra.

Keris inheritance or bequest, which is spear-winning heritage keampuhannya is not only because it is made of elements from steel, iron, nickel, and even mixed with elements meteorid stone fell from the sky so that the strong stronger, but how pembuatannya procession accompanied with prayers to the Almighty Creator of Nature (Allah SWT) with an effort by the spiritual master. So that the spiritual power of the Almighty Creator of Nature that is held as the power of magic or luck, so the parties can influence the opponent to become the weapon of fear to the inheritance. Have an opinion based on scientific tests of the keris inheritance and bequest stated that the keris issue was energy / power that is not kasat eyes (not visible with the naked eye).

The heart is the keris that is used to complete the men's clothing typical Java. Keris is decorated with a string of jasmine rose dikalungkan on the upper stem keris. In fact it is not just decoration, but the value to remind people that do not have the temperament beringas, emotional, hotheaded, adigang-adigung-adiguna, arbitrary, and would like menangnya own character Harya Penangsang.

Relation to Harya Penangsang is at war against Harya Penangsang Sutawijaya, because Penangsang hotheaded, emotional, can not refrain, stomach stuck the spear Kyai Plered dihujamkan by Sutawijaya. Intestine out of the stomach is lacerated. In the situation you want to score with full anger Penangsang who have pain that mengalungkan ususnya keris in the upstream side. He continues to attack musuhnya. At a time Penangsang akan keris sheathe lawannya with Kyai Satan Kober at the waist, so dihunus keris, ususnya interrupted by the keris pusakanya. Penangsang died in the terrible wars that engulf many victims. Of events that appear with the idea of keris ornament string jasmine and rose.

Tosan charm or relic weapons such as spears, keris and others that can cause a feeling of extraordinary courage that the owner or pembawanya. People call it as piyandel, penambah self-confidence, even keris spear inheritance or bequest given by the King of the noble Karaton the belief that the King is superior to the peerage. However, when the king's trust was damaged by the bad behavior of the duke of the kris, the keris is the inheritance will be / are requested again by the king.

Relationship with the keris sarungnya specifically defined by the Java community ilosoi as intimate relationships, integrates to achieve harmonious living in the world. Thus was born the philosophy "manunggaling subject - Gusti," bersatunya servant with the king, bersatunya man with the perfect creator, bersatunya with the leaders of the people, so life is always peaceful, secure, tentram, happy, healthy prosperous. In addition to mutual respect for one another each must also know ourselves to work in accordance with its function and the portion of each correctly. Thus in the meaning of tosan spell as national cultural works of art that contain various aspects of life in the Java community in general.

19th Century Weapon Found in the Pope's Body

2009-04-13T23:52:00.000-07:00

BOSTON, Wednesday - a bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) seberat 50 tons caught in the waters of Alaska last month, have discounted the weapon stuck in the neck. This shows that he's been a happy hunting, more than seabad ago.

Projectile weapons such as arrow-shaped 3.5-inch round that is embedded in the skin behind the berlemaknya. Based on the estimated year of making weapons, the researchers suspect that whales have been aged between 115 and 130 years. "There are no findings that this seunik to be able to determine the age of whales," said John Bockstoce, a curator at the Museum of Hunting Pope New Bedford.

Determining the age of whales is a difficult job, and is usually measured from the amino acid level in the eye lens. While this is very rarely found the pope more than seabad age, although experts believe could reach the oldest pope after almost 200 years.

The discount berpeledak arrows that go between the bones in the neck with the pope at the shoulder bone thin. It seems that the weapons are made in New Bedford, southeast coast of Massachusetts, which is the center of hunting whales at that time.

Arrow berpeledak may use weapons ditembakkan pelvis around 1890. Arrows equipped metal tube containing explosives that will explode some time after he ditembakkan to the pope's body. Explosives intended to kill the bull quickly so that he can not be vague.

"Explosives that may harm the pope, but in mengenainya point that does not kill," said Bockstoce. "The wound may not be too severe, and the left does not disrupt too so he can live 100 years later."

Bockstoce that impressed with the carvings on the tip of the arrow used in 19th century submarine, a traditional habit of the Alaskan hunters to determine who is entitled to kill the pope and the top of it.

Weapon itself, commonly used starting around 130 years ago, in the year 1877. In the same year, Rutherford B. Hayes was appointed oath as President, and Thomas Edison announced the newest findings, phonograph.

Pope male 15 meters along the dead tertembak bearing similar months ago, and the pemburunya find the bullet in the back lemaknya old when they cut the pope's body using a machine saw.

"No we usually find items like this in the old pope's body. I know that the goods immediately after viewing the ancient form," said Craig George, a biologist from the Department of Wildlife Settings North slope Borough, which are called when people find a weapon in the ancient pope's body.

Mandau is a kind of big knife sharp weapons came from culture Dayak in Kalimantan.

Mandau including one of the traditional Indonesian weapons

Unlike the charcoal Mandau has carved - carving in the bilahnya that is not sharp. Often also found additional holes in bilahnya closed with a brass or copper with a touch up saber blade.

[edit] Kumpang

Kumpang is sarung blade saber. Kumpang made of wood and is often decorated with carvings.

Kumpang bound on the kind of bags made from bark containing wood knife penyerut and ivory is believed that wild animals can reject.

A saber tersarungkan in kumpang usually tied at waist with braided rattan.

[edit] Raw materials prices and

According to the literature in the Museum Balanga, Palangkaraya, the raw material is iron saber (sanaman) mantikei found in the river upstream Matikei, Tumbang Atei Village, District Sanaman Matikei, Samba, East Kotawaringin.

This iron is so easy to bend dibengkokan.
Mandau original price starts from Rp. 1 million. Mandau the original old age and have a strong steel prices could reach Rp. 20 million rupiah per blade.

The raw material of making regular saber can also use iron per car, saw blade machine, disk drive and other iron rod.

Uređaj work that is mainly used a hammer, betel, and sebasang iron spiked to tap saber for decoration.

Mystery magical sword of Damascus

2009-04-07T09:52:00.000-07:00

October 1192. Richard the Lion be, the king of England who led the Christian army in the War Cross III, met with the enemy bebuyutannya, Muslim leader Salahuddin Al-Ayyubi. The two leaders this mutual respect. The two leaders then become a legend that, as Sir Walter Scott mendramatisasi in the novel The Talisman, exhibit of weapons each.

Richard issued a wide shiny sword master made answer mainland Britain. Salahuddin kesayangannya draw the sword. Scimitar-made master in Damascus that is not shiny. "Instead of, pale blue color, dicercahi 10 million lines," write Sir Scott. Maybe the sword is similar to lines Pamor keris made in the master answer.

Sir Scott novel that is set two centuries ensure magical sword of Damascus, one of them held Salahuddin, become immortal. The sword is very sharp. Saputangan the fine silk can split if the two fell through the eye in the sword. In addition, the weapons known as Damascus sword is able to slit the enemy's sword or the most hard rock cadas without ketajamannya reduced.

Unfortunately, techniques to make the sword of Damascus that appear on the 8th century already extinct. There is not a master craftsman can make anything in the last two centuries. Metallurgy experts wonder how the master craftsman in Damascus sword can make it as strong and setajam. Concerning the structure of the metal in it is also a big question.

New at the time of the response is now found in Germany. The master was in Damascus, are not aware, when applying nano technology to create a sword Salahuddin. To remind, the nanotube material is 100 times stronger than steel. Not strange if Damascus sword so strong.

Peter Paufler, crystallographer at the Technical University of Dresden, Germany, found wires and nano nanotube when examining the sword of Damascus four centuries with electron microscope. "This is the first nanotube findings in steel," said Paufler.

Nanotube fibers that tack in the whole body of the sword made of steel. As a result, the steel is such as to get the bones of 100 times more powerful. "This general principle of nature," said Paufler. "Zat is more software can be strengthened by adding a strong wire."

There are criticisms that the electron microscope terkontaminasi nanotube from other places, such as that cited Alex Zettl, physicist from the University of California, Berkeley. But Paufler, after recognizing the possibility that, say he is testing with a variety of different equipment. The result remains the same: there are nano particles.

The master craftsman in the making of Damascus swords with the raw material of steel lantakan imported from India. This raw steel, called ukku in India and in the West called wootz, the quality is very good and karbonnya reached 1.5 percent, or about 15 times compared to steel elsewhere.

Carbon is usually considered to be the key to make a good sword. Mixed but must be fit, too many to make a steel getas, too few to make a steel can not be sharp. If the process is not perfect, can appear cementite, iron phase is fragile despite loud.

Paufler suspect nanotube that appears when Indian steel lantakan burned. Carbon from leaves and wood to burn the nanotube to be formed, mainly stem from Cassia auriculata leaves and Calotropis gigantea. In addition, the sword of Damascus have elements vanadium, chromium, mangan, tin, nickel, and several other elements of being up to the mine-mine in India. Through the process of fuel and hammering, the nanotube later than cementite, oxygen from the iron which is very strong.

Damascus sword making technique similar to the keris in Java, katana in Japan, or Europe in the Viking sword North. Various kinds of iron plates and metal incorporated into batangan. Once burned, and be incused, the new metal akan ignites. This process is repeated after the bend metal forging and repeated constantly.

Hammering repeatedly make fiber-fiber nano wires that lead to the sword. May also make cementite particles larger flake composed of steel with a soft but flexible.

When the sword is shaped and lived strain, Paufler suspect that the master of Damascus merendamnya with hard water. Water is not only hard to create metal flow in the body of the sword, but also sharpen.

Well, according to allegations Paufler, hard water is indeed melt metal. But from the carbon nanotube and cementite still survive in it so as to make their eyes saw a very soft. The sword shall be very sharp with 100 times the strength of steel, just like that held Salahuddin al-Ayyubi.

Keris Sabuk Inten

2009-04-06T06:55:00.001-07:00

Keris that no less a legendary time of transition from Demak and Majapahit Bintoro is Kiai belt Inten. Keris berluk 11 and this appears with the famous Kiai Nogososro Keris. This two keris been used as the inheritance of the age of Majapahit. Both are often referred to even in a series of belt-Nogososro Inten. Not because this is believed the two keris as a symbol of prosperity karahayon or a kingdom. Nogososro represent wahyu keprabon missing from the belt and the throne Demak Inten represent the glory and kejayaannya. Two keris this masterpiece is copyrighted Supo MPU.

Many versions of the legend has reveal Keris Nogososro and Inten belt. But in the modern era like now, Inten kris berdapur belt more interest to have someone. Not because the keris is believed to be smooth, and bring glory Rejeki. This is justified by the owner of a belt Inten kris berpamor WUTAH Rice, Daniel Tatag, SH. According to him, the keris was obtained from a businessman in China around the 1950s.

Since the era of Majapahit, Keris Inten belt already represent the noble or the well-established, so that diperangi by kris Kiai SENGKELAT which represents the marginal or the common people who feel marginalized. Kris two situations that symbolizes the split in the late Majapahit this desire to bring together the dimanifestasikan also in the form of a keris, Kiai Condong Mix.

After many centuries of time twisting, Pamor kris following legendanya still trusted their accuracy. Kiai Nogososro as a symbol of revelation is missing from keprabon of Demak Kingdom, often first on the candidates by the leader or president. However, as a symbol of revelation, Keris MPU Gandring relatively more popular than the keris Nogososro. How about the Keris Kiai Inten belt?

Mpu Djeno Harumbrodjo, descent to the MPU-17-Majapahit Supo told posmo, basically Inten kris berdapur belt all berluk 11. This is different from the keris Condong Mix the two versions, and without berluk 13 luk or straight. According to the MPU Djeno, Kiai Condong Mix have even mentioned that berluk 5. Make the difference this type of complex pengelompokkan keris. Mpu Djeno also claim to own half of the keris with regret at this time that the name and its meaning varies making it difficult to dipakemkan.

Inten kris belt, light Djeno MPU, only with different thin Condong Keris Mix or Nogososro. Typical belt Inten berdapur keris luk is 11, with two spur memet and two lambe elephant. On bilahnya there is no fix. There can also pamornya Rice WUTAH, Udan Mas, Blarak Sineret, Ron Genduru and more. Meanwhile, stem and warangka, according to him, is not so significant as pembeda. "What's important is sebilah keris wilah or lath and ricikan and pamornya," said MPU Djeno.

Differences in the type of Pamor, go MPU Djeno, also result in differences luck kris. Rice is WUTAH Pamor Rejeki to produce a smooth, Udan Mas suitable for the businessman and for Blarak Sineret authority. However, some Pamor keris with the same name is often different tuahnya, for example, Pamor WUTAH Rice and Udan Mas. While Pamor Blarak Sineret and Ron Genduru also tuahnya same, namely to authority.

Mpu Djeno said, Pamor the type of multi-meaning good luck and then the number of dipertegas luk it. Luke 11 essentially is a symbol of the spirit and dynamics abstinence surrender to reach the goal. Thus, the Keris belt with Inten 11 luk and Pamor Rice WUTAH, meaning to be firm and tuahnya as the keris berperbawa for a triumph and glory, or give up the spirit of abstinence. KOKO T

YOGYAKARTA - Three white teenagers dressed in a gray look cool dozen keris terpajang in a window on the sixth Tebuwiji keris exhibition in the Museum Ronggowarsito, Semarang, 8 April to 11 April. "This is a keris to Nogososro that," said Adi, a visitor who is still uniformed high school. Keris kris Nogososro is considered a legendary master Supo the paper at the end the triumph of the Kingdom of Majapahit. Keris maskot into the kingdom. But the keris Nogososro displayed in this exhibition is only one of dhapur (type) Nogososro keris. There are also belt Inten kris.

Still in the same window, the committee deliberately memajang are heading kris "kris engineering." Keris kris engineering is false. Similar shapes, in general, keris which consist of several luk (groove), complete with jejeran (stalk) and warangkanya (sarong). Kris kris is considered to be false because of the keris is not in accordance with the keris grip in general. For example, under the pot (base keris) there is a pair of canine (pudak sategal) stretching. In fact, often, pudak sategal not too long.

Although peminat keris adults in general, dozens of junior and senior high school students are also more visible. One thing that encourages them to want to see the exhibition is the process of making a keris is held committee. Another thing, they also want to see "kesaktian" keris that they often hear. "He can have a keris stand on its own. It can also remove the smoke," said Adi.

This exhibition belong to the hundreds of keris collectors who joined the paguyuban keris from Yogyakarta, Central Java, and Jakarta. The exhibition is intended as a vehicle to convey the correct information about the keris, especially to the younger generation. Kris as a cultural object loaded with the philosophy and aesthetics should not to be deflected as a mystical object that is considered as a medium to pass syirik (menyekutukan God). "Pencitraan through false impression that the keris sinetron only to drive out devils, menyantet people, must be straightened," said Suparwoto, the exhibition committee.

According Suparwoto, many people who do not know about and how merawatnya keris. On the first day of the exhibition, he said, came a woman who does not dare to confess for fear of a keris is jinnya. She has some residual Her grandfather keris. "Ignorance about the keris frequently used by the collector with menakut-nakuti (owner of the keris is common) that the keris could bring bad luck," he said.

There are many motivated people visited this exhibition. There is indeed in love with the keris as indicated by the visitor such as the old champion Sastro, men Ungaran origin: "In addition to klangenan. Also for the exchange of information." There is also a wish to own the collection with other kris. This usually encourages the collectors who attend from many areas.

However, a descendant of Chinese visitors who are still young that come to buy a keris can be ageman for business. "The keris is suitable dikoleksi by merchants. Maybe can add hockey," said the man who is reluctant to name mentioned. Sale-purchase or exchange of the keris is usually done after the exhibition after.

The Muslih, Demak origin, do not believe that the keris has magical abilities. "I want to see a collection of keris from time to time," he said. He hopes there are people who can explain in scientific terms that smack of the mystical keris. "I do not want to get stuck polytheists." Muslih also involved discussions with small Totok Sugianto, a manufacturer that also keris keris collectors.

According Sugianto, indeed many have the strength of the keris linuwih than as a normal weapon. For example, a kris may have ditegakkan, there is also the owner can add prestige. "In fact this can be described in tact," said Sugianto. He explains, sebilah keris compound created from iron and steel symbol of the strength of earth and heaven.

The chemical, keris made from various elements. In addition, when the forge iron into the keris, a master also in demand to build spiritual character kerisnya. "If the strength of heaven and earth together, if the chemical elements that form the compound of integrated prime, kris find the balance point so that the impossible can not stand upright," he said.

According to Sugiarto, must have recognized the strength of the keris metaphysical. But, he said, the strength is not more is the will of God. "God only gives strength to the tongkatnya Prophet Moses, the strength of carnelian in the Song of Songs," said Sugiarto. SOHIRIN

It is hereditary, people Lamalera in Lembata Island, East Nusa Tenggara, known as a fisherman or hunter koteklema bull sperm whale species, which is the source of their lives.

The first weekend in May 2007, citizens Lamalera rejoice because the local fishermen catch three successful koteklema at once. They must work hard to immediately slaughter and processing in order to berton meat-ton bull and divided it tertangani without any piece of tersia anymore.

The sun just appears when the fishermen began to peel and cut up the body koteklema the ditambatkan on the beach. Waves of the sea began menghempas mixed blood from the body three marine mammals is that each king-size more than 15 meters.

Weapons that they use a one-eyed knife that is thin and the length is approximately 20-30 cm bertangkai called bamboo spine. Knife was initially used to open the skin of the pope's body thick layer of fat.

Cortex of young gray color to the old and the white layer of fat that sliced-shaped beam to beam and tied with rope and hook. Then resort to the black sandy beach. Sebidang skin and fat measuring approximately two meters one drawn by 5-7 fishermen, because bobotnya very heavy.

"Know how this forty pound, we never measure, but are very heavy," said Halla, who took a young fisherman interesting.

After a few areas of the skin is open, the fishermen began to slice the meat color is bright and stringy flesh ubahnya not land mammals such as cows, buffaloes, goats, horses or deer.

Society Lamalera have to share the basic framework of their acquisition, which is the landowner, pemiliki ship, lamafa, the matros, and those involved are considered to help arrest the process.

Koteklema body that already have a map specifically for the division, for example, in addition to meat and lemaknya, the ship owner and will get part of the heart, slice the tail is also given to the participating matros kill whales.

The fishermen and their families who already know the right pembagiannya akan accept their part in the beach, and with it with sea water and put a bucket, tub, or other vessel-vessel. In fact, many people take without jatahnya vessel for-thought in the head with a roll of cloth repose.

Yanti, teenage girl, her head wrapped up with plastic bags so that the hair is not affected by fat droplets and blood from the meat koteklema, because he had to walk back and forth from home to the beach which is about one kilometer to carry the results to the division of his family.

"Because it's nice to get a lot of parts, but also tired ... yah, especially after the cut and this must menjemurnya," said Yanti a certain kind of face bright.

The process of cutting meat pope is running slow, because the volume of catch is greater than the number of people who need it. Until noon, there has been no quarter of the section is cut off, while the sun is high and the workers began to fatigue. But they do not have time to relax, because the pope should be the meat they urus.

On the beach, the fishermen got tough when they see colleagues sat drinking and smoking for long time that according to him, while still working a lot. "You do not just take it easy, let's work!" said a fisherman to each other.

The women also have to wash the meat-the meat, put it in a bucket and go back and forth to bring them home. Another woman, that her husband does not temasuk in matros groups that successfully captures koteklema, waiting on the beach by offering the commodity in demand for meat with the pope exchanged, namely tobacco, cigarettes, cakes, and dried corn.

"I bring corn to exchange, because I want to send a jerked meat koteklema for children who live in Gombong, Central Java," said a mother explained that while plateful of corn can be dried with three parts, namely two-slice and one slice of meat fat skin.

"I also want to buy the heart to be fried and sent to the pastor in Larantuka," said Anna Bataona who deliberately burn the bread on the night before to become a means of exchange. Two pieces of cake can be exchanged with sekerat meat, so with a handful of cigarettes or tobacco.

Anna afternoon that satisfied smile as pastry buatannya ludes in the kitchen and he is saving batch of meat, fat, and some heart. "Later fried, the meat can be eaten and the heart can be drunk oil for medicine," he said.

Anna confessed akan pope enjoy meat on the first day, because the rest will be dried jerked meat tool for exchange of food with others. "This is for the provision of life for several months, also can make money later to cover the cost of child study," he said.

Her husband was also a first lamafa, but had to stop because the hands must be amputated from the base because of shoulder injury while catching fish ray (Manta). He also no longer be able to sea. "Therefore I have to help my sister cut up the skin so that this fat can be dried. If it works here in my new home is finished to take part himself," said Prason the day to help Anna.

In the house, located in the village Wutunglolo, village Lamalera, Clara is busy serving the guests who brought corn to be meat to the pope. "People have been too long not to eat meat, so meat does not dry menunggung patient they have come to request the exchange," said Clara.

He said that during the last few years, the fishermen only catch a few koteklema. Only a year ago acquired. During that difficult, people rely on other types of catch, the dolphins, ray, and flying fish which was also used as a tool for change in shopping the other kitchen needs.

For two full days the fishermen slaughter three koteklema, from morning to evening. The head of the opened end of the Friday, because they predate the intestine quickly decompose. Rancid stench of blood and flesh spread not only on the beach, but far to the houses that sit on top of the hill, brought by a wind gust.

On the home page, people back up the bamboo pole to pole-season the meat with seasoning salt and fat skin left sunburn to remove the oil which is then ditampung with the divorce of zinc in the flowed to the lower end of the bottles.

Koteklema known that fat has a thick skin to supply food to migrate south when the food supply is not much. Koteklema most oil is in the head in a tank in the hollow of his head.

At the skull was opened, the liquid oil gush out and ditampung in bucket-bucket, while the lump lemaknya can dijerang to produce oil. Oil pope have trusted property for health, to cure the disease in, but residents Lamalera very trust property as oil pope also cleaning stomach and alimentary tract.

"If drinking the oil, pantan can leak," he said with a laugh because it tickled confess not find a way to explain the exact meaning.

Clara also claim to have "cranky" and "irritated" when a television kru dictate answers to mewawancarainya, the pope explained that oil as a nutritious tonic. "He does not know, but I forced you so," said women's lips red by betel-areca nut who always dikulumnya. He can change the skin fat koteklema with a large number of betel pinang.

Oil koteklema also make the animals on the sea is in the hunt by means of modern ships, modern whales hunters around the world. Many resemble the oil industry as a pope who had a lot of drugs referred to as fish oil, although the pope was sincere mammals. Koteklema also have another stunning result, the fluid ambergris is used for industry as a preservative perfume smell. Ambergris form by sediment remaining food koteklema the tune, the giant squid, especially the head of a failed hard and digested.

While the processes of meat in progress, people also have started season fat meat and skin. The aroma of blood and flesh which began to dry up and the oil will start, to meet the air in a small village who is suspected to be the only one of the fishermen, hunters pope in Indonesia.

Fishermen in the path of the whales migrate in the province quite a lot, but had never heard the pope as a hunter of Lamalera. "They were a traditional hunting and mempergunakanya to be consumed, not for the purposes of trade especially in industry, it is not exposed to hunting restrictions pope," said Agung Tri Rooswiadji, deputy director of WWF marine program.

Agung Tri Rooswiadji mention, WWF has set up training programs for marine conservation students at the District Lembata, Alor and Solor in the province so that people can process and manage the marine resources of the rich keep kelestariannya.

Beruntun and bustle of working in the open space in the hot weather, making many residents fell ill fever and fatigue on the third day. "This is normal, we always get a fever if it is koteklema," said Elias Blio, such as understand the natural tendency to follow their customs.

Exhaustion in the middle and plenty of meat koteklema blessing that, if sea fishermen will suddenly hear the cry baleo ... ... baleo? "Of course, especially matros that yesterday's pledang not get it," Elias answered with enthusiasm.

new keris

2009-03-27T07:49:00.001-07:00

See the above title may be a keris dibenak we made at the time and now is packed in the form of a mimic typical kris-kris old and famous. Keris is a new dilemma for the lovers of old respited keris, kris, which is always yearn old and the older person with ricikan thorough and complete and intact. Even the lovers keris total beginner stop turbulence frequency keblondrok (Java language) or misguided with keris new dituakan. That is all dynamics perkerisan archipelago, from the first until now and the future emergence of new keris will never stop either made by the master, or by Pande keris by craftsmen.

In fact all of this to the lovers die keris itself, that a keris which is new and beautiful garapnya carefully why not? and I declined to dikoleksi? not collecting the keris is because the beauty and culture?
Keris new era is now quite a lot of beautiful and calculations garapnya not less careful with the old keris, only losers in the age of myth and time. However, if we cermati this case indicates the existence of the craftsman, or even a master craftsman Pande - young and skilled master craftsman who appear and we need to support kelestariannya. If we always choose the old keris the craftsman, or even a master craftsman Pande - young master we will create a new kris-kris dituakan the match that we select and we senangi, this is the chain that this happened.

But if we are also aware that the keris is also a new value, beautiful, carefully garapannya the appreciation keris itself and the author will also be aware of to make the keris with characteristics that also beautiful and we have made feasible the collection.
So the craftsmen who make the keris to be a "wanton", ya ulah because we always like the old keris.
There are several references in researching a keris old (Old), which are:

1. SLOROK BAJA, examining not have slorok steel, for a respite after the Majapahit keris slorok steel seems quite clear slorok can unggu color, green or gray are the blade edge and sharpness slorok as iron. Keris to the new quality and made with hammering technique of good will come out this slorok steel.

2. Gilding, is not to examine the gilding on the blade keris, kris-kris old gilding usually there to strengthen the blade keris. on a keris is penyepuhan will be visible once the differences in the color area penyepuhan blade and I do not do penyepuhan and the older person is usually carried out at the start of the tip of the blade with a blade length of 1 / 4, 1 / 2. ¾ blade or round, rarely have the keris entirely gilded.

3. Safeguard BESI, BAJA AND Pamor, examining not have a layer of steel, iron and Pamor, kris old or older made sure with the right techniques tempa respective elements (iron, steel and Pamor) made flake. So an old iron keris should be layered, and layered Pamor must also be plated steel.

4. COLOR gradation, from the third reference can be obtained over the color gradation and compare keris from the original time with a kris new suspect. If you have a keris old / old and really old can compare the original lath and color gradation on the keris but with the second note in the keris warangi with the same quality as a type of warangan, old, young, half old and half, this will also be effect on the gradation of colors going on blade keris. Note the model marijuana, gandik, blumbangan and ricikan according to what others have or what is not suitable. Please note the asphalt of the keris (kris new dituakan) is also clever, they make the keris are really similar to the original, any little detail they will be compared to the Old keris and original.

5. TAYUH, If the fourth is still doubt over the need to be ways that have been inherited from our ancestors that is the way ditayuh. how this can be done in various ways, there is a measure of energy keris at the time held, there is a need to put a pillow under the keris at the time of sleep

Some terms in this section is taken from the tradition, simply because the reference is available.

Some experts tosan aji group tikam keris as a weapon, so that the major part of the keris sebilah is wilah (blade) or a language is like awamnya blade. But as the keris have other completeness, namely warangka (sarong) and grip the keris or engraving, the unity of the whole kelengkapannya called keris.

Handbook keris or keris hilt

Warangka was originally made of wood (which is common teak, sandalwood, Timoho, and yellow). In line with the growth period occurred wrangka additional functions as reflection of social status for users. The top or ladrang-gayaman often replaced with ivory.

In general there are two forms of warangka, the type of warangka ladrang which consists of the parts: tweezers, lata, beard, gandek, godong (shaped like a leaf), scales, and cangkring ri. And other types is the type of wrangka gayaman (gandon) that part-share almost the same as wrangka ladrang but there is no tweezers, godong, and gandek.

Rules of the wrangka this had been determined, although not absolute. Wrangka ladrang used for official ceremonies, eg to the king, the other official palace (penobatan, adoption officials kingdom, marriage, etc.) with a reverence. Tata is working with the slide in the axle of the keris fold belt (stagen) on the back of the waist (including as consideration for the safety of the king). While wrangka gayaman for daily use, and kris is placed on the front (near the waist) or on the back (waist rear).

In war, the keris is used wrangka gayaman, pertimbangannya is from the practical and concise, because the more wrangka gayaman allows quick and easy move, because the more simple shapes.

Ladrang and gayaman is a form of pattern-wrangka, and the main function of the wrangka is the bottom of the form of long (along wilah keris) called antupan or axle, the axle of the function is to conceal wilah (blade) and is usually made of wood (considered to wilah not damage the metal of the mixture).

Part pendok (layer cover) this is usually carved very beautiful, made of brass metal, suasa (a mixture of gold, copper), silver, gold. For areas outside of Java (the kings Bugis, Goa, Palembang, Riau, Bali) pendoknya made of gold, along with additional decoration such as embroidery of gold lace and flowers that bertaburkan diamond diamonds.

Keris to Java, according to the shape pendok there are three kinds, namely (1) pendok Bunton shaped flat without the cover on the side, (2) pendok blewah (blengah) to split lengthwise on one end so that the axle will be visible, and (3) pendok topengan the belahannya only located in the middle. When viewed from hiasannya, pendok have two kinds, namely pendok engraved and plain pendok (without engraving).

* Wilah

Wilah or wilahan is the major part of a keris, and also consists of certain parts that are not the same for each wilahan, which is usually called the kitchen, or in the form of a naming fad wilah-chip (there are tens of kitchen). For example, the kitchen can heron Mayang, bachelor lola, pinarak, murub moment, cauliflower, kebo tedan, pudak sitegal, etc..

At the base of wilahan there pesi, which is the bottom end of the rod sebilah keris or keris. Part of this is the entrance to grip the keris (engraving). Pesi this length between 5 cm to 7 cm, with a section about 5 mm to 10 mm, rounded shapes such as the length of the pencil. In the area of East Java called axis, called a waterspout in Riau, while for the Serawak, Brunei and Malaysia called Punting.

At the base (basic keris) or sebilah from the bottom of the pot called the keris (Malay peninsula to the call aring). There is a hole in the middle pesi (unanimously) to enter the exact pesi, so the grass does not wilah and inseparable. Cultural observer tosan ruler said that unity is the unity and Yoni phallus, which represents the symbol of marijuana while pesi Yoni symbolizes lingganya. Hasheesh this once-shaped spot, titled: Sirah is called the front spot, part of the neck called gulu meled, the stomach is called wetengan and ekornya called sebit ron. Variety of marijuana have diverse, wilut, dungkul, kelap loan and sebit rontal.

Luke, is part of a curvaceous wilah-kris blade, and the views of the keris from the two groups can be large, which is a straight kris and kris bilahnya a zigzag or luk. One simple way to calculate luk blade, starting from the base toward the tip of the keris keris, calculated from the convex side and is done on both sides of the cross-opposite (right-left), then the last number is the number of luk wilah on-chip and the number is always odd (odd) and never complete, and the smallest is luk three (3) and was luk thirteen (13). If you have a number of keris luk its more than thirteen, usually called the keris kalawija, or keris is not lazi
