This is the 2nd quiz question I ran on my Facebook page. A few got it right.
Well the answer is Langkasuka which covered Kedah and parts of Patani (now in Thailand).
Historians believe the kingdom to have been founded around 1-2 AD. That's about 1400 years before the Malacca Sultanate.
Records of Langkasuka was found in the Book of Liang (Liáng Shū) compiled by a Yao Silian from the Chinese Liang Dynasty (502-557).
Archologists also refer to Kedah Tua to a civilization that existed in Kedah, which may be related to Langkasuka. Besides the famous ruins in the Bujang Valley, archeologists are now slowly uncovering relics from this ancient civilizations including ships and other amazing stuff.
However, not much is known about this civilization. In fact, not many Malaysians know that the Bujang Valley complex was declared as the home of the oldest civilization in South-East Asia.
