Srivijaya is one powerful maritime kingdom on the island of Sumatra and much influence in the archipelago with the territory stretching from Cambodia, Thailand, Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, and Sulawesi . In Sanskrit, Sri Means "shining" and wijaya means "victory". Initial evidence of the existence of this kingdom from the 7th century; a minister of China, I-sing, writes that he visited Srivijaya in 671 and stayed for 6 months. Next oldest inscriptions of Srivijaya also in the 7th century was Kedukan Bukit inscription in Palembang, 682 AD. Srivijaya influence the decline of the area began to shrink due to subordinate some of the battle such an attack from the king of Java (990 AD), and in 1025 the attack of the Coromandel Coladewa Rajendra, 1183 next year under the control of the kingdom of Srivijaya Dharmasraya. And at the end of the period, the kingdom was subdued under the Majapahit kingdom.
After Srivijaya fell, the kingdom is forgotten and historians do not know the existence of this kingdom. Srivijaya existence is officially known in 1918 by the French historian George Coedes of the École française d'Extreme-Orient. Around the year 1992 to 1993, Pierre-Yves Manguin proved that the center of Srivijayain the Musi River between Bukit Seguntang and Sabokingking (located in South Sumatra province, Indonesia).

There is no further record of Srivijaya in the history of Indonesia; the forgotten past was re-established by a foreign scholar. No modern Indonesian people who heard about Srivijaya until the 1920s, when French scholar George Coedes publish his findings in the Dutch language newspaper, and Indonesia. Coedes China stated that the reference to "San-fo-ts'i", previously read "Sribhoja", and some inscriptions in the ancient Malays refer to the same empire. Srivijaya became a symbol of the greatness of early Sumatra, and the kingdom of Majapahit in the archipelago except East Java. In the 20th century, the kingdom has become a reference by the nationalists to show that Indonesia is a unit of Dutch colonialism before. Srivijaya called by various names. People call Tionghoa Shih-li-fo-shih, or San-fo-Fo ts'i or San Qi. In Sanskrit and Pali, the kingdom of Srivijaya called Yavadesh and Javadeh. Arabs call call Zabag Malay and Khmer. The number of names is another reason why Srivijaya was difficult to find.
s GOMER Cambodia?
The "Armenians called Cappadocia GAMIR" (12:229). We find the KHAMUR mt. in Armenia (2:565, C2) and the town of KEMER (6:749c). Before moving east, apparently GOMER left his mark in SPAIN and ITALY (GOMERA,Canary Island & CAMARINA Sicily -- Strabo 3:59,81; the GAMORI of Syracuse Sicily(26:296d); CAMARIUM Umbria -- Strabo 2:369; GOMERO -- Strabo 3:301;). Russian Alexandropol is also known as GUMRI (1:576). In the Caucasus we find the GIMARAI-KHORH mt. (23:874, II D2). A town in E. Turkey is GUMURDJINA (12:717a) and a river is KUMUR SU (9:894d). "GOMER" gave his name to the "Cimmerians" of Anatolia or "Cimbri" of the classics. Therefore, Herodotus, Plutarch and others identify him with the district of Cimmeria (Herodotus 4:12), north of the Black Sea -- called "CRIMEA" today -- but later Cimmerians were SHEMites (Odyssey 11:12-19), not oriental. Just as Hosea prophesied, SHEMitic Israel would be known by the name "GOMER" (Hos.1:3) -- the CYMRY Welsh and the English county of CUMBERLAND. They received this name from either the Japhetic "Gomer" who was in Europe before them, or from "King Omri" or "Samaria" (Both Israelites and Gomerites were called "Cimmerians.") This is why even Josephus thinks "GOMER" is the GALATIANS or GAULS (1:6:1). "CRIM Tartary" and the Russian city "Eski KRIM "which marks the site of the ancient town of CIMMERIUM" were named after GOMER (A.T. Jones' Empires Of The Bible, p.8). But "GOMER'S" portion was "toward the east" (Jub.9:7). A river in India is the "GAMBHAR" (25:123a) and another is the KUMAR River (3:133c) and a district in India is called KAMARUPTA (15:647a) and KIAMARI town and peninsula also (14:376, B7; 15:673a) and KAMRI pass (19:487, B2). He moved to S.E. ASIA and gave his name to the "KHMER EMPIRE" and people there, specifically CAMBODIA today (2:194 & 17:231; 1974 Encyc. Brit.). We have all heard of the "Khmer Rouge." "The KHMERS from the 9th century to the 15th built a great empire, but much of its territory was lost to its neighbors so that only the small kingdom of CAMBODIA remains today" (17:231, Encyc. Brit. Macro 1974). In Burma is the KHEMARATA state (15:728c). The Cambodians are related to the SIAMESE, BURMESE, and other dark-skinned races of INDONESIA and the PHILIPPINES. Sumatra used to be called KAMARA (17:640a) or CAMAR (17:642). A river and state in Sumatra are called KAMPAR (26:71, B2). In the Philippines we find the GIMARAS island and strait (21:392, D5). In Thailand is KEMARAT (14:498, D4). The KHMERS "were forerunners and part-ancestors of the Siamese" (25:4a). In New Guinea is KAMRAU Bay (19:487, B2). In E. Siberia we find the KHAMAR-DABAN Mts. (3:215), KUMARSK (25:10, H3) and KUMARA villages (1:899d). In N. Manchuria is the KUMARA River (17:553, B-C 1). In Japan is the GAMMORITAKE Mt. (15:156, L6). A branch of GOMER sailed to Madagascar since we find Mohit's Map of 1554 labelling it "G. EL KUMR" (17:641b). The GOMEZ family of Spain and South America may be related.
