One such early kingdom was [[Tarumanagara]], which flourished between 358 and 669 CE. Located in [[West Java]] close to modern-day [[Jakarta]], its 5th-century king, [[Purnawarman]], established the earliest known inscriptions in [[Java island|Java]], the [[Ciaruteun inscription]] located near [[Bogor]]. And other inscriptions called the [[Pasir Awi inscription]] and the [[Muncul inscription]]. On this monument, King Purnawarman inscribed his name and made an imprint of his footprints, as well as his elephant's footprints. The accompanying inscription reads, "Here are the footprints of King Purnavarman, the heroic conqueror of the world". This inscription is written in Pallava script and in [[Sanskrit]] and is still clear after 1500 years. Purnawarman apparently built a canal that changed the course of the Cakung River, and drained a coastal area for agriculture and settlement purpose. In his stone inscriptions, Purnawarman associated himself with [[Vishnu]], and [[Brahmin]]s ritually secured the hydraulic project.<ref>Mary Somers Heidhues. ''Southeast Asia: A Concise History''.

Around the same period, in the 6th to 7th centuries (501–700 CE), the [[Kalingga Kingdom]] was established in [[Central Java]] northern coast, mentioned in Chinese account.<ref>{{cite book |author=R. Soekmono |title=Pengantar Sejarah Kebudayaan Indonesia 2 | publisher = Penerbit Kanisius |orig-year=1973 |edition=5th reprint |year=1988 |location=Yogyakarta |page=37}}</ref> The name of this kingdom was derived from ancient [[India]]n kingdom of [[Kalinga (historical kingdom)|Kalinga]], which suggest the ancient link between India and Indonesia.

The political history of Indonesian archipelago during the 7th to 11th (601–1100 CE) around centuries was dominated by [[Srivijaya]] based in Sumatra and [[Sailendra]] that dominated southeast Asia based in Java and constructed [[Borobudur]], the largest Buddhist monument in the world. The history prior of the 14th and 15th centuries (1301–1500 CE) is not well known due to the scarcity of evidence. By the 15th century (1401–1500 CE), two major states dominated this period; [[Majapahit]] in East Java, the greatest of the pre-Islamic Indonesian states, and [[Malacca Sultanate|Malacca]] on the west coast of the [[Malay Peninsula]], arguably one of the greatest of the Muslim trading empires,<ref name="Ricklefs 1991, p. 15"/> this marked the rise of Muslim states in the Indonesian archipelago.
