And about Mountain of Meratus Mystery.
In Borneo there is a long mountain that stretches from the west to the eastern part of the island. Mountain is not too high, but we can imagine the breadth and length for extending through the three Provinces of South and Central Kalimantan and East. Mountain that grows along the lining is called the Mount Meratus.
NO there is definitely a clear picture of how long and much of the mountain. As for which is described as largely expected only speculative uncertain - both about the number and size of the length of the mountain. The book "In Inner Borneo" by AW Nieuwenhuis in 1894 was not even mentioned it.
Known, A.W. Nieuwenhuis Dutch citizen who is also a medical doctor as ethnographers and anthropologists, supported by Maatschappij ter Bevondering Het Van der Nederlandsche Natuurkundig Onderzoek Kolonien (Association to advance research in the Dutch colony) - formed three teams of scientists mapping, extracting resources of nature, research on rural population, as well as the flora and fauna. The team traveled from West Kalimantan with Kapoeas along the Mahakam River to the head and ends up to Samarinda, East Kalimantan. This expedition was no explanation of the extent and length of Mount Meratus. Though they had started the journey from West Kalimantan Kapoeas Pontianak.
Trip, but was supported by the Maatschappij van het Natuurkundig Bevodering Onderzoe der Nederlansche Kolonien, also backed up by Resident Water Afdeeling van Pontianak Borneo based in West Kalimantan. This was driven by the many interests of other countries that sent delegates to the island of Borneo to do research as well as trying to perform the occupation. Just as in the 18th century, when England and Holland to violence and intimidation to the inhabitants in the islands of Borneo. Among them, the adventures of Alexander Hare in Banjarmasin in 1812, Robert Burns and James Brooke in Sarawak in 1848 that seeks to establish a kingdom for himself, James Erskine Murray entered the Englishman, Kutai in 1844 that led to war with the army have been killed since the kingdom of Kutai, then Dalton 1825 and 1828 Muller who roamed Borneo on behalf of the Dutch State.
Zei was an officer of the army of Napoleon I, named George Muller, entered in the Municipal Dutch East Indies. Muller got the task of making contact with the Sultan Sultan on the coast of Borneo in 1825. Muller set out with troops made up of people of Java. Its primary mission, if the Sultan Sultan that he came out of line, the Sultanate will be fought and destroyed as to be occupied.
However, do not let the Kutai Kingdom of the threatening situation. As a result, the battle that destroyed George Muller troops scattered and ran into the forest. Noted, Javanese soldiers who survived achieve the western part of Borneo was only one person, being nasip Muller himself and the rest of the troops is not yet known.
Any word, George Muller with his followers were killed in the Kapuas around November 1825, precisely in the river Bungan. But, the story is only a vague estimate of the truth. To be sure, Muller has so far never been found.
There is also another story about the escape Muller pursued soldiers Kutai Sultanate. It is said, because lost Muller ran up to Mount Meratus and disappeared there. He said Muller is protected by the royal troops in the mountains were magical Meratus it.
The story of Mount Meratus also expressed by the older residents of South Kalimantan Hill Tribe Called Amung Tahe. The man who has lived in the hamlet of hereditary Rangit - foot mountain Meratus his life experiences, when venturing to explore Mount Meratus. Rangit hamlet itself is a village that can be taken from inland Paser District. But it is not known for sure, this village included in the district or districts where. But within the map area includes the area of South Kalimantan Province.
For masarakat Hill Tribe itself, they do not understand about the village where he lived is included in the area of South Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan, East Kalimantan, or anyway. For them it was not a problem. Clearly they could have been there everywhere. For them, the forest is home and their lives.
In general, the hill tribes living in the wilds around both sides of Mount Meratus. It is said Amung Tahe, the mountain there are one hundred mountains. But who can count the mountain there is only ninety-nine. So which one is the parent and the mountain peaks that rarely can be seen by naked eye.
From the foothills toward the top of the rise and seventeen seventeen-story fall. According Amung Tahe, the highest peak is a residence of Maharaja Meratus can not be seen or unseen. Except if required by the Maharaja.
That said, at the top of the mountain is a plateau that is wide enough. On this plateau there is a court building where the Maharaja is residing. Mount Meratus magical kingdom is not only itself, but there is another small kingdoms diseputarnya, which is also called the kingdom of magical people (bunian).
In this mountainous region is very rich in forest and nature. Once there was a person, when walking in creeks that are in there and found a diamond stone chunks of gold on the stone wall at the edge of the river mussels.
People magic of the mountains Meratus often comes down to different cities, both in South Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan and East Kalimantan. Most of them disguised as tribal hill people to trade sandalwood and bringing good quality amethyst chunks and yakut is still raw. These goods they sell or barter with tobacco, salt, perfume oils, grains and even beads and pearls.
Tahe Amung also told, that the deceased father who often venturing into mountain areas Meratus, claimed to have met with huge reddish-brown-haired man dressed like a western (Dutch tempo doeloe_Red) escorted by several men in uniform. But when followed by the men suddenly disappear is not known where.
According to the story of people living in these areas along Meratus they too often see people dressed in old days the Dutch with a few people walking along in full uniform with rifles and swords. However, if pursued, then what they saw it simply vanished.
That said, from the face and clothing and there are signs that the people on this Dutch-character traits similar to the missing Captain George Muller's course rimbanya. If true, it is seen George Muller, of course, has become invisible. Some say that his spirit was still wondering and wandering along the mountain Meratus since been killed. Can also he was killed because people were slaughtered by the wild in the interior of which was still primitive.
But clearly, what happened along the Mount Meratus, is still full of mystery. (Out)
