Episode 21
Medendegar called her name Cicilia his adoptive mother, without realizing it Fhadlan had stepped into the living room and stood next to Sukarjan. Pak Budi glanced at Fhadlan as if he did not expect the presence of Fhadlan among them. Mr. Sukarjan like to understand the objection of Mr. Budi with to the presence of Fhadlan, then said like a whisper to Fhadlan.
"Fhadlan rest in the room first gih. if there is something later om call ya" pinta om Sukarjan on Fhadlan.
After Fhadlan left them, Budi returned to talk.
"Pak Sukarjan .. sorry in advance for my safety and the safety of Mr. Sukarjan my family please the existence of this artifact in secret first, including the child earlier" said Mr. Budi already pitched a threat.
Hearing Mr. Budi as threatening, redden the face of Mr. Sukarjan, but with a forced smile he also responded to the threat of Mr. Budi calmly.
"Sir Budi.. during my time in charge I never kept something secret about what I researched, even I always sought the help of antiquities experts to study every object in the study" said Mr. Sukarjan.
He kept silent for a moment and stood back in his car.
"Awhile Mr. Sukarjan" said Mr. Budi.
Shortly thereafter he returned with an envelope containing twenty million Rupiah.
"Pak Sukarjan.I want Pak Sukarjan to translate the meaning of graffiti on this artifact.it is a little as a down payment, as a down payment, if Mr. Sukarjan fails to translate just consider this money as a wage for the business of Pak Sukarjan to keep the artifact secret" said Mr. Budi.
That much money is big enough for Mr. Sukarjan where the amount is equivalent to his PNS salary for one year. Finally, Pak Sukarjan decided to accept Pak Budi's offer not because of the money promised as wages, but because he himself was very interested in the artifacts brought by Mr. Budi.
"Alright I will try to translate the graffiti on this clay plate, but I can not promise whether I can do it alone or not" said Mr. Sukarjan.
"Regarding the little boy did not need to worry because he was also I needed during the order of Mr. Budi" said Mr. Sukarjan again.
Mr. Budi looked down embarrassed, when touched on about the threat earlier that he should not be negligent.
"I believe Mr. Sukarjan can do this on his own, and I believe Mr. Sukarjan will not harm me, if Mr. Sukarjan agrees then I leave this artifact to Mr. Sukarjan first" uacap mr. Budi.
Mr. Sukarjan greeted Mr. Budi as a sign of agreement.
"Let's come to my workspace" said Mr. Sukarjan carrying artifacts in the form of clay plates full of graffiti.
"How long can Mr. Karjan translate this scribble?" ask Mr. Budi.
Mr. Sukarjan placed a clay plate the size of a ceramic floor with a thickness of approximately ten to fifteen centimeters on his desk. At first glance people see it is just a wide red brick to be used as a floor conblock or the like.
"Try sir Budi pay attention to the writing on clay, if according to the fact that the writing in the world was first found is a scribble on clay as you bring this, sir, which is known as cuneiform writing, but only this time found in Indonesia" said Mr. Sukarjan.
"Wah wah means the one entrusted to my grandfather including the oldest writing in the world dong" said Mr. Budi.
"The first sincerity according to scientists is introduced by people with the nickname Humus which means a person of knowledge, which means a person of knowledge, islamic scholars say that the first writing introduced by the Prophet Idris was the first man to write with a pen, he wrote on sand and clay, it could be the same person and their writing as the graffiti on the clay" said Pak Sukarjan showed graffiti on clay lying on his desk.
"Sik cik cik .. means the book of the time of the Prophet Idris in the form of clay plates like this, sir" said Pak Budi.
"True Mr. Budi, it could be the ancestor of the father is a kind of cleric in charge of storing scripture" said Mr. Sukarjan.
"But look at this graffiti neatly like a writing but with an alphabet or script not known.so I need time to identify what characters in use this writing" said Mr. Sukarjan.
Pak budi began to understand the workings of Mr. Sukarjan until when it was almost night he asked permission for Mr. Sukarjan to go home.
"Ingge Pak Sukarjan, I say first one month I will return" said Pak Budi when among Sukarjan sir to the front page of the house Sukarjan sir.
*****
On a quiet night, Pak Sukarjan began to examine the characters used in clay plates he made sure that the pattern of graffiti is very similar to the character of nails, ' he said , this is one of the ancient nail-shaped writing written on a clay plate. The word "aksara cuneus" is a literal translation from the Latin, cuneus meaning 'hewn' or 'nail' and forma meaning "shape". Thus, the cuneiform script is an ancient writing that uses "fern letters".This writing is classified as a complicated writing and is thought to only be used by certain people. The cuneiform script developed in the Sumerian region (an ancient name for southern Mesopotamia now in southern Iraq, near the Persian Gulf). Allegedly, this writing had been used by the Sumerians about three thousand years before Christ, almost contemporaneous with the hieroglyphs that flourished in Egypt.
After opening several books on cuneiform script and the emblem of Egyptian hieroglyphics, all writing patterns turned out to be very different. Pak Sukarjan began to think that in his time the center of world civilization was in the Indies. Like the prophet Adam lived in the Indies, pigs syit in also live in the Indies, siti eve died in the Indies.
The Indies here are often interpreted by scientists with the Indian mainland now. Thinking so Mr. Sukarjan began to match the writing with the script san sekerta or hurup pallawa in use in India but the results are also different.
"in history there was no such thing as a script written on a clay plate" thought Pak Sukarjan
"Don't let the center of the Indian civilization in question is the archipelago now, not India as most scientists think" thought Pak Sukarjan.
"Don't let siti hawa die buried in the area of Java, so that his grave area is called the old eve tomb so java" thought Pak Sukarjan again.
"Isn't the oldest human postile found in a solo? All directed to Java" Sukarjan continued to deepen.
After the Purup palawa also does not fit Pak Sukarjan switched to the Kawi script and Rejang script which is known as the oldest script in Indonesia. Rejang script is one of the traditional Indonesian characters originating from the southern Sumatra and Bengkulu regions. The script is sometimes also known as the Kaganga script, which is a term rooted in the first three letters of the Rejang script. while the Kawi script or Old Javanese script is a derivative of the historical Brahmi script used in Southeast Asia.
