I do not know how many decades in the area of the road there is an inscription which Batutulis thousands of years old relics Tarumanegara kingdom.
Despite its location right edge of the road Batutulis, hard-recognized or distinguished by building shops or houses. In fact, at first glance similar to the village office or other similar government offices. Moreover arguably the area of solid-flow and the traffic so that the driver's eyes will tend to observe the highway, be alert when suddenly there is public transport with a relaxed cut the road or stops suddenly.
Being in a building the size of + / - 5x5 meter, which is lined on the sides of the iron and crop it, practically this location did not attract attention or imply any special objects in them. Tourist boards mounted parallel to the road so hard to read unless it is absolutely right in front of the road.
Inscription Batutulis is indeed a historical part of Bogor city. Located in the Village Batutulis, South Bogor sub-district, Bogor Municipality, formerly the location of these thousands of years ago was a quiet place, quiet and foggy.
Even for local residents as a place to nest tiger believed that then grow a fantasy of the relationship between the kingdom Pajajaran who vanished with a tiger. Scipio, a Dutch expedition who were assigned to open inland jakarta, describe how they respect and this khimat (indigenous people in the group expedition), facing the site until they dare to forbid Batutulis Scipio who is boss set foot into it because he is not Muslim, it was obvious they consider it "sacred", because there, they say, lies Pajajaran throne or the king's throne. With confidence like that, if by the time they first discovered the place and saw a tiger or some tail out of it, they will not regard it as an ordinary animal
According to historical records, the stele was built in 1533 by King Surawisesa, as a memorial to his father, King Siliwangi, King Pajajaran. Siliwangi King reigned from 1482 to 1521. Mandraguna powerful king crowned with the title of King of the Gods Master Pranic, then the title Sri Ratu Maharaja Baduga Pakuan Pajajaran Sri Haji at the Queen of the Gods.
In the complex there are 15 heritage terasit shaped, stone found along the River Cisadane. There are six stones in the cupola, one outside terrace cupola, two on the porch and six in the yard. One branded footwear stone, a stone stamped knee, and a large stone that contains a wide Pallawa and Sanskrit writings.
Batutulis inscription was made by King Surawisesa as penyelasannya form because he was unable to maintain the territorial integrity of the Pakuan Pajajaran him, as a result lost the war with the kingdom of Cirebon.
Pakuan-Pajajaran War lasted for 5 years. Supported Cirebon Demak kingdom defeated the kingdom of Demak cannon Pakuan after troops arrived to help just as the forces of Cirebon start pushed back. Laskar Galuh (Pakuan) helpless against the "big iron arrows, belching steam ireng, sounded like thunder and spewed hot metal". Spears and arrows so that they are paralyzed by a cannon fell Galuh followed two years later with the fall of the kingdom also Talaga, the last bastion of royal Galuh.
Next to the inscription there is a long stone and round the same height as the stone inscription. Long and rounded stones (stone phallus) This figure represents Baduga Sri Maharaja while representing the figure of the inscription itself Surawisesa. The positioning of the stones were arranged so that the position of the child with the father so readily apparent. The child wants what is commended on his father could easily be known (read) people: but he did not dare to stand next to the father. Thus it is placed slightly rearward Batutulis left beside the stone phallus.
Surawisesa not display his name in the inscription. He just put two stones in front of the stele. One contained traces of hand carving astatala and the other containing padatala, carvings of footprints. Perhaps the installation of slate with a ceremony that coincided with srada the "consummation soul" who carried out after 12 years of a king died. With the ceremony soul of the deceased is considered to have loose relationship with the material world.
In other words, the inscription is a testament to the respect Batutulis a son against his father, and is something that needs to be exemplified by the present generation and future.
