Assalamualaikum, historical friends, this time we will discuss the origins of the ancestors of the Indonesian nation based on the Yunan Theory. This theory reveals the origin of Indonesia's ancestors came from the Chinese region, specifically the Yunan region.
The ancestors of the Indonesian people are believed to have left the Yunnan region around the headwaters of the Salween and Mekong Rivers by owning fertile land. It is estimated that due to natural disasters and attacks by other tribes, they began to move to move.
The ancestors of the Indonesian people had an excellent marine culture, namely as the inventor of the original outrigger boat model which was the hallmark of Indonesian ships at that time. The Austronesian people who were still included in the archipelago area then settled and were finally called Indonesian Malays.
