Salam semua. Baru ini saya telah pergi ke beberapa tempat di utara Semenanjung untuk penggambaran dokumentari "Daulah Melayu". Hari ini saya mahu mula berkongsi tentang beberapa tempat yang dilawati...
Peace be upon you all. Recently I went to a number of places in the north of the Peninsular (Malaysia) for shooting of the documentary "Daula Melayu". Today I want to start sharing about some of the places visited...
Selasa 15 Mac 2016. Selepas membuat penggambaran di Pulau Pinang kami bertolak ke Merbok, Kedah untuk masuk ke Muzium Arkeologi Lembah Bujang.
Tuesday 15th March 2016. After making some shots in Pulau Pinang we went off to Merbok, Kedah to enter the Muzium Arkeologi (Acheological Museum of) Lembah Bujang.
Saya pernah ke sini sekurang-kurangnya dua kali sebelum ini. Lihat artikel lama Tinggalan arkeologi di Merbok (Archeological remains in Merbok)...
I have been here at least twice before. Look at the old article Tinggalan arkeologi di Merbok (Archeological remains in Merbok)...
Cuma kali ini baru saya betul-betul memberikan perhatian kepada apa yang ada.
It's just it was only this time that I really paid attention to what is available.
Pameran bersekitar penemuan-penemuan arkeologi di sekitar Lembah Bujang iaitu di selatan Gunung Jerai, gunung tertinggi di Kedah...
The exhibits revolved around archeological findings at Lembah (valley of) Bujang which is at the south of Gunung (mount of) Jerai, the highest mountain in Kedah...
Namun ada juga penemuan daripada tempat lain di Kedah, antaranya dari puncak Gunung Jerai.
Still there are findings from different areas in Kedah, among it are from the summit of Gunung Jerai.
Saya lihat kebanyakan penemuan adalah daripada abad ke-4 hingga ke-5 Masihi...
I could see that most of the findings are from the 4th to the 5th century AD...
Ada juga daripada abad-abad kemudian tetapi masih berusia lebih 1,000 tahun.
There are also those from later centuries but still more than 1,000 years old.
Antara paling menarik buat saya adalah sebiji batu tertulis nama Ibnu Sirdan.
Among the most interesting ones to me is a piece of stone etched with the name Ibnu Sirdan.
Ia dikatakan ditulis pada tahun 213 Hijrah iaitu bersamaan 829 Masihi. Sebelum ini saya setakat pernah membaca tentangnya dalam buku-buku...
It is said to have been written in the year 213 Hijrah (Muslim calender) which is equivalent to 829 AD. Before this I've only read about it in books...
