Conformity with the geological facts

Legend of Sangkuriang accordance with geological facts and the creation of the lake Bandung Tangkuban Parahu. [1]

Recent geological studies indicate that the remnants of an ancient lake was 125 thousand years old. The lake dried up 16,000 years ago.

Have been two ancient Sunda eruption type Plinian eruption 105,000 each and 55000-50000 years ago. Second Plinian eruption had broken the ancient caldera of Mount Sunda thereby creating Tangkuban Parahu, Mount Burangrang (also known as Mount Sunda), and Mount Hill Tunggul.

It is very possible that people have occupied the ancient Sundanese highlands Bandung and watched the second Plinian eruption that swept the settlement west of the river Citarum (north and northwest Mumbai) during the period of eruption at 55000-50000 years ago when Parahu Tangkuban created from the remnants Sundanese ancient mountain. This period is a time homo sapiens; they have been identified living in southern Australia at 62,000 years ago, during the Java Man (Wajak) about 50,000 years ago.


Sangkuriang and Philosophy Sunda

According to Surya or ang ang Suryalaga Hidayat, former Rector of Bandung Itenas, legends or sasakala Sangkuriang intended as light illumination (Sungging Perbangkara) for any human (cariang plants) are still doubtful of the existence of himself and wanted to find identity of humanity (Wayungyang). The results of this search will give birth to your heart (conscience) as the real truth (Dayang Sumbi, Rarasati). But if not accompanied with caution and full awareness / eling (binoculars), then he will be ruled and by a sense of indecision digagahi a constant (digagahi the Tumang) which will bear egos are selfish, that is not yet enlightened soul (Sangkuriang ). When The Conscience beaten again by kewaswasan (Dayang Sumbi Tumang eat the liver) then lose consciousness essential. Experienced a sense of regret that the Conscience acted with arrogance hit ratio of the ego (head Sangkuriang beaten). Arrogance also affecting "The Ego Ratio" to stay away and leave the conscience. The arrogance of ego turns out that fatigue ratio-weary seeking knowledge (intellectual intelligence) during the wanderings in the world (heading east). On returning to the west ahirnya that consciously or unconsciously always be sought and that he missed the Conscience (Sangkuriang meeting with Dayang Sumbi).

However the union was between the Ego Ratio (Sangkuriang) by the enlightened conscience (Dayang Sumbi), not as easy as expected. Armed with that knowledge already mastered the Ego Ratio (Sangkuriang) should be able to create a social life based on love, interdependency - compassion-teaser reparation and penance humanist foster harmony, which is a pool of social life (making Talaga Bandung) who inhabited the various collection people with a wide range of temper (Citarum). Meanwhile, the integrity of his identity must be formed also by the ratio of the ego itself (making the boat). The existence of Ego ratio that was not separated from the history itself, have become the main origin (Hill Tunggul, sajaratun tree) since the beginning of existence (east, where the initial rise of life). The Ego ratio must also indicate the existence of himself (tutunggul, penada himself) and eventually she will have offspring that manifest in a society that will datangd and a time to swallow it all ends of a pile of bones (mountain Burangrang).

What a pathetic, if it hopes for the unification of the ego with the ratio of the enlightened conscience (almost happened with Dayang Sangkuriang marriage Sumbi), failed because the trigger point of attending the final, end of life contained in the body (boeh rarang or shroud).Finally twist of fate that had befallen the ego ratio was feeling sorry and a very, very angry with "him". Then he kicked her selfishness ratio, be a transcendental human pile face down lamenting her misfortune (Mount Tangkubanparahu).

However because of the ego ratio still felt curious, kept the conscience pursued the enlightened desire itself (Dayang Sumbi), hoping to yield unity between the ego with the ratio of Conscience.But it was the enlightened conscience appeared only witness to the behavior that never happened and experienced the Ego Ratio (Jaksi interest).

End of the story when the end comes awareness presumption ratio (Ujungberung). With the same awareness, and threw the cork removed arrogance dominance ratio (mountain Manglayang). So now it opens channels of polite communication process with anyone (Trance Tikoro or throat; B. Sunda: Hade fried my way my way). And closely guarded food right into his mouth to keep it clean lawful and beneficial. (Trance Tikoro = esophagus, genggerong).
