Bringing the Past to the Present : Revising Noble Values of Majapahit Civilisation Through a Online Museum Using Information and Communication Technology

Abstract

Civilisation of Majapahit Kingdom was the harbinger of Indonesian existence. Archeological sites and ancient manuscripts of the Majapahit Kingdom are essential for the identity of the state. Today, studies on the past civilisation involve several branches of science such as classic constitution, governance, economics, architecture, diplomacy, and some others are placed in a particular academic field. However, archeological sites and ancient manuscripts of Majapahit Kingdom, along with its historical complexity and human civilisation activities, have been damaged or even gone missing since 500 years ago, while it demands reconstruction. Reconstruction requires accurate methods, documents, and carefully planned management to help preserve, recover, and present them to societies. This research aims to ascertain if the civilisation of Majapahit Kingdom could be revived through online museum via ICT, leading to the world that knows no boundary. This paper also presents the detailed process required for the online museum of Majapahit Kingdom in which there are several information panels regarding history and main archeological sites of Majapahit Kingdom to allow the societies to deeply explore the Kingdom civilisation from time to time. Moreover, the civilisation of Majapahit Kingdom can be reconstructed and presented virtually in digitalized 3D technology of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR). At last, the noble values of Majapahit Kingdom civilisation are expected to be documented, disseminated, and considered as part of cultural digital heritage of the future.
