Disclosure of empire began with the invention of writing Salakanagara King Cirebon Wangsakerta ruling in 1617, which was found in the 19th century AD. From this and known, if the first Hindu kingdom in West Java instead of Tarumanagara, but Salakanagara. 
    
"There are approximately 20 books scattered and collected by researchers from the Netherlands and Indonesia. Wangsakerta posts had mentioned about Salakanagara led by King Dewawarman from South India, "he explained. 

That said, King Dewawarman have many descendants. Among them was once a great king in Java such as the Tarumanagara and Purnawarman reigning king of Kutai Kartanagara Mulawarman. "But, the eruption of Mount Salak in 1669 allegedly participated bury historic relics of royal Salakanagara," said Eman.
