Hutan Raje Mandare Yang Penuh Dengan Keanehan

Selain ditemukan danau dengan permukaan air berwarna merah, di hutan Raje Mandare di perbatasan Bengkulu-Sumatera Selatan ini diketahui banyak keanehan.

Menurut Kasmidi, danau merah itu sendiri juga aneh, setidaknya menurut pengetahuannya. Sebab, meskipun airnya terlihat berwarna merah, tetapi kalau diciduk pakai tangan atau gayung, airnya terlihat biasa saja. Bening dan jernih.

Keanehan lain, kata Kasmidi, ada satu lokasi tak jauh dari danau yang menimbulkan aroma pandan bila malam hari. Hal itu tidak ditemukan pada lokasi lain.

Masih cerita Kasmidi, di hutan Raje Mandare juga ada sejumlah satwa raksasa. Misalnya, kelabang dengan lebar 30 cm dan panjangnya 50 cm, burung raksasa, dan kerbau yang telinganya ada sarang lebahnya.

Yang mengherankan, pohon-pohon hutan yang tegak berdiri di atasnya pun seperti mempunyai tatanan tersendiri. Kalau tanah tempat pohon itu tumbuh masih masuk wilayah Tanah Basemah Pagar Alam, maka semua pohonnya miring ke arah Pagar Alam. Namun, kalau tempat tumbuhnya di Bengkulu, maka pohon-pohonnya miring ke arah Bengkulu pula, atau berlawanan dengan arah Pagar Alam.

Masih di daerah itu, semua jenis burung dan hewan hutannya cukup jinak, tidak takut terhadap manusia. Meski begitu, agar burung dan hewan tidak lari, pengunjung tidak boleh mengeluarkan suara atau berbicara.

"Ada hal lain yang kami temukan, seperti kelabang ukuran lebar 30 cm dan panjang 50 cm, burung raksasa, dan kerbau yang telinganya ada sarang lebah atau tawon. Namun, kami tidak tahu apa saja yang tersimpan di daerah bukit Raje Mandare itu," ungkapnya.

Kepala Dinas Pariwisata dan Senibudaya setempat, Syafrudin, mengatakan, daerah Rimbacandi memang masih banyak menyimpan misteri yang hingga kini belum dapat terungkap, termasuk keberadaan bukit Raje Mandare yang banyak memiliki peninggalan sejarah.

Sayangnya, pihak pemerintah setempat masih terkendala dana untuk melakukan penelitian di daerah itu. Selain itu, juga ada keterbatasan tenaga ahli. Untuk itu, diperlukan studi lebih lanjut untuk mengungkap misteri Hutan Raje Mandare.

6 Fenomena Misterius Yang Belum Terjawab Sains

Kemajuan ilmu pengetahuan dan sains belum mampu menjawab semua pertanyaan di dunia, apalagi alam semesta. Sejumlah fenomena belum bisa dijelaskan secara nalar.

Seperti dimuat situs CNN, ilmuwan hingga saat ini belum bisa menjelaskan enam fenomena misterius, termasuk, bagaimana bisa Masjid Baiturrahim di Aceh bisa selamat dari musibah tsunami dahsyat 2004, sementara di sekitarnya porak poranda diterjang gelombang.

Berikut enam fenomena yang belum terpecahkan dan masih jadi pertanyaan besar.

1. Stigmata Padre Pio

Pada tahun 1918, seorang pastor muda yang sedang berlutut mendapati darah mengucur di tangan, samping tubuh, dan kakinya. Sebagian orang yakin luka yang ia derita adalah stigmata -- tanda ia tersentuh penderitaan Yesus di atas kayu salib. Sementara, beberapa lainnya beranggapan, ia melukai dirinya sendiri.

Meski dipermalukan dengan kontroversi itu, Padre Pio memutuskan meneruskan pekerjaannya, hingga ia mendapat reputasi sebagai penyembuh. Ia ditasbihkan menjadi Santo pada 2002. Saat upacara kanonisasinya di Vatikan, 300 ribu orang rela menerjang cuaca menyengat dan hadir untuk menghormatinya.

2. Fenomena susu ajaib Hindu

Pada 21 September 1995, seorang peziarah kuil New Delhi memberikan sesendok susu ke patung Ganesha, Dewa berkepala Gajah. Yang mengherankan, Sang Ganesha seakan menghisap susu itu.

Para ilmuwan berpendapat bahwa daya kapiler menyebabkan susu menyebar ke permukaan patung. Namun, dalam beberapa jam kemudian, sejumlah kuil Hindu dari Bangladesh hingga Canada melaporkan hal serupa: bahwa Dewa telah meminum susu persembahan mereka.

3. Keajaiban Masjid Baiturrahim

Ketika tsunami 2004 menerjang Banda Aceh, hampir semua bangunan di sekitar Masjid Baiturrahim rata. Gelombang tinggi juga menyapu masjid tersebut. Namun, masjid menara masjid berusia 123 tahun dan kubahnya tetap kokoh.

Umat muslim menganggapnya sebagai mukjizat, bahwa rumah Allah diselamatkan dari gelombang ganas tsunami.

4. Bagaimana asal-usul alam semesta

Dalam 80 tahun terakhir para ilmuwan berbaris di belakang Teori Big Bang yang muncul setelah Edwin Hubble pada 1929 menemukan miliaran galaksi di alam semesta adalah tidak menetap di tempatnya, melainkan bergerak menjauh satu sama lain.

Belakangan ilmuwan Stephen Hawking mengeluarkan teori kontroversial, bahwa Tuhan tidak ada hubungannya dengan penciptaan alam semesta. Kata dia, karena ada hukum seperti gravitasi, alam semesta bisa dan akan mencipta dirinya sendiri. Dan, hingga kini, tak satupun dari kita bisa memastikan bagaimana alam semesta tercipta.

5. Benarkah alien itu ada?

Pernyataan bahwa, hanya penganut teori konspirasi yang percaya ada mahluk luar angkasa (ET), tidak sepenuhnya benar. Demikian pendapat Frank Wilczek, fisikawan pemenang Nobel di MIT.

Merujuk pada penemuan planet ekstrasolar, di luar tata surya kita yang serupa dengan Bumi, ia berpendapat, "Jika harus menebak, aku akan mengatakan ada ribuan, mungkin jutaan, mungkin milyaran planet di galaksi dengan beberapa bentuk kehidupan, dan mungkin ratusan atau ribuan yang memiliki mahluk cerdas seperti Bumi."

6. Berapa jumlah spesies di Bumi

Mungkin ada tiga juta, atau mungkin ada 100 juta. Para ilmuwan sepakat, jumlahnya lebih banyak dari angka 1,9 juta spesies Bumi yang sudah punya nama (sepertiga dari semua spesies di Bumi mungkin adalah kumbang tropis).

Salah satu alasan mengapa kita belum bisa mendapatkan hitungan akurat adalah bahwa sebagian besar dari makhluk di dunia amat sangat kecil. Dengan api teknologi baru, seperti sekuensing DNA akan memudahkan kita menemukan harta karun keanekaragaman planet kita.

Air Terjun dan Sungai Berwarna Merah di Kanada

Seorang fotografer mengabadikan sebuah momen peristiwa yang jarang terjadi, sebuah air terjun dan sungai yang jernih mendadak berubah warna menjadi merah seperti sup tomat.

Rochelle Coffey memperhatikan perubahan warna air dari jernih menjadi merah hanya dalam waktu 2 jam.

Ibu dua anak ini sedang mengunjungi Air terjun Cameron, di Alberta, Canada bersama suaminya. Dia telah biasa mengambil gambar di sungai tersebut selama enam tahun.

Namun dalam perjalanan terakhir ini, seakan dia tidak percaya yang dia lihat, warna sungai berubah warna menjadi merah kecoklatan.

Fenomena tersebut disebabkan akibat tingginya curah hujan sehingga mengikis sedimen berwarna merah yang disebut argolite dan membawanya dari bebatuan ke air.

Danau Waterton, tempat dimana air terjun terdapat, mempunyai batu sedimen tertua di perbatuan Canada, yang berusia 1.500 tahun lalu.

Waktu Paus memberi bagian Amerika Selatan ke Spanyol dan yang lainnya ke Portugal dalam Perjanjian Tordesilla (dulu portugis ma spanyol rebutan amerika), Spanyolpun menjelajahi hutan tropis di amerika selatan. Konon waktu mereka balik mereka bawa cerita tentang ular yang sangat besar yang mereka sebut matora, atau "pemakan banteng". Menurut laporan mereka, ular ini mencapai lebih dari 80 meter panjangnya.



Kolonel Percy Fawcett, yang dikirim untuk memetakan bagian-bagian dari Amazon, mengklaim telah bertemu anaconda sepanjang 62 kaki. Sebagai petugas Royal Engineers ia menuliskan informasinya cermat. Berikut buku hariannya:

"Aku mengambil senapan untuk menembak makhluk yang mulai membuatperahu kami kandas, aku menembaknya tepat di tulang belakangnya dengan kaliber 44. Kami melangkah mendekati darat dan mendekati makhluk dengan hati-hati. Sejauh yang dapat diukur, panjangnya 45 kaki terapung di air dan 17 kaki di dalam air, sehingga total panjang 62 kaki . Tubuhnya tidak tebal, tidak lebih dari 12 inci diameternya, tapi mungkin sudah lama tanpa makanan. "

Pada tahun 1925, Pastor Victor Heinz juga melihat salah satu ular, kemungkinan besar anaconda, sedangkan orang-orang Negro Rio Sungai Amazon. Mengatakan bahwa mereka ngeliat ular sepanjang 80 kaki dan tubuh setebal drum.

Bernard Huevelmans, ayah Cryptozoology, mencatat pertemuannya dengan sebuah anaconda dengan sekelompok orang Prancis dan Brasil.

"Kami melihat ular tidur di padang rumput. Kami segera melepaskan tembakan ke tubuhnya. Tembakan membuatnya kejang dan dia mencoba lari, tapi kami berhasil mengejar dan menghabisinya. Saat itulah kami menyadari betapa besar ular itu, ketika kami berjalan mengitarinya, panjang tubuhnya sepertinya tidak akan pernah berakhir Yang membuat saya kagum adalah kepala besarnya, berbentuk segitiga sekitar 24 inci.. Kami tidak memiliki alat untuk mengukur binatang itu, tapi kami mengukurnya dengan merentangkan tangan kami. Kami mengukurnya dan menyimpulkan kalo makhluk itu panjangnya lebih dari 23 meter (75kaki). "



The Diario, surat kabar dari Pernambuco di Brasil, dari 24 Januari 1948 menerbitkan sebuah artikel dengan judul 'anaconda Beratnya 5 Ton. " Gambar menunjukkan bagian dari anaconda raksasa yang tertangkap oleh ras Indian. Mereka menangkapnya waktu anakonda itu tidur setelah makan banteng, panjangnya 131 meter. Empat bulan kemudian, surat kabar dari Rio berjudul A Noite Illustrada menampilkan satu foto anaconda dibantai oleh Milisi. Ini panjang mencapai 115 meter.

Kolonel Rene van Lierde adalah pilot helikopter yang sedang terbang di atas provinsi Katanga. Ular raksasa tiba-tiba menjulang seakan untuk menyerang helikopter itu. Dia mengangkat dan mengambil beberapa foto ular dan melanjutkan perjalanannya. Ia memperkirakan panjangnya kurang lebih 45 kaki. Ini ngalahin python sepanjang 32 kaki yang berasal dari Indonesia.

Masjid Agung Banten 
By Bambang Setia Budi

Great Mosque of Banten, as old and historic mosque, always enlivened the pilgrims every day from various areas in Java in general.Complex building of this mosque in the village of Banten Lama, about 10 kilometers north of Serang, Banten province capital.Great Mosque of Banten, was first built by Sultan Maulana Hasanuddin (1552-1570), Apart from being a place of worship, also become a tourist attraction riligi,
According to people in the past, the Great Mosque of Banten in the first five stacked arcades, but in the 17th century had turned into three. This case was possible because the two roof top stacks is actually only an additional roof supported center poleThe most interesting part of the roof of the Great Mosque of Banten is precisely on two concentric stack of roof top that vaguely remind idiom Chinese pagoda. Both roofs were standing right on top of the stack with a third roof structure system supplier that meets style at one point. The laying of such a show the impression as if the roof in a critical position and easy to waver, but this is precisely the main attraction.
Two roof top stack that serves as the crown seemed more than a roof covering the inside of the building space. No wonder the forms and expressions as it actually can be read in two interpretations: the mosque roofed stacked five or mosque roofed plus stacks of three with two crowns on it as an aesthetic element.
Another interesting element is the tower to the east of the large and monumental, and is unique because there has never been a tower like that in Java, even in the whole archipelago. Because the tower is not a tradition that complements the mosque in Java in the early days, the Great Mosque of Banten is among the first mosque to use elements of the tower in Java.
Tradition says, a brick tower constructed approximately 24 feet high as it used to be said to function more as the tower of view / observers to offshore because of its shape like a lighthouse than as a place to carry a call to prayer. Clearly, all of Banten, Dutch news almost always mention the tower, the tower proves that always attracted visitors of the City of Banten past.
The news also showed the tower has been built not long ago with the construction of mosques. From Dr KC Crucq search results, which have been loaded in the essay titled Aanteekeningen Over de Manara te Banten (Some Notes on the Tower in Banten), published in Tidscrift Voor de Indische Taal, Land and Volkenkunde van Nederlandsch Indie, otherwise, the tower was built during Emperor Maulana Maulana Hasanuddin when his son Joseph were grown and married.
However, from the ornaments, the tower of the Great Mosque of Banten seemed unaffected decorative art found in Java, such as tower-shaped headdress ornament dagoba or elongated triangle, known as tumpal. Both are often found in East Java Candi Jago and other temples. In fact, the motive of niches at the entrance of the tower as if it is a simplification of kala-makara motif in the tradition of pre-Islamic culture of Indonesia as well as decoration of mihrab Kasepuhan Great Mosque in Cirebon.
ACTUALLY there are many other unique elements that may be mentioned briefly, such as the pedestals of stone andesite large gourd-shaped and vary in each basic pillar of the mosque. Most large-sized pumpkin with a line that most of the pedestals on the four pillars pillars in the middle of the prayer room. The size of this huge base with no will we meet along the island of Java, except in the former ruins of one of the mosques in Plered Sultanate of Mataram, Yogyakarta.
In addition, there is a large pulpit and full of antique ornaments and colors. Place this sermon is a waqf Nyai Haji Irad Jonjang Attack on 23 Shawwal 1323 Hijri (1903 AD) as written in Arabic script bald on the top face of the viewer chancel arch. Different from mimbarnya that attract attention, mihrab (the imam leading the prayer) in the form of very very small niche, narrow and simple. This is very different from that developed in the mosque mihrab in other parts of the world.
The existence of the pavilion and pond for ablutions in the east complete the general characteristics of the Javanese mosque. Pole marquee that was built during the reign of Sultan Maulana Yusuf was also using a stone base with pumpkin in the form of buildings and traditional construction techniques of Java.


MAJID KUDUS


Mosque Minaret is one of the relics of history, as evidence of the spread of Islam in Java. This mosque is unique because the design of the building, which is a merger between the Hindu Culture and Islamic Culture. As we know, before Islam, Java has grown in Buddhism and Hinduism with the legacy of temples and temple. In addition there is the worship of the Spirit Ancestors (animism) and belief in the objects (dynamism). Mosque Minaret into evidence, how a combination of Islamic Culture and Hindu culture has produced a building that is unique and high-style architecture. A building of mosques, but with the tower in the form of temples and various other ornaments of the Hindu style.
Sunan mosque built by the Holy Ghost in the year 956 H. This can be seen from the slate that is located in Pengimaman mosque, which reads and shaped Arabic, which is difficult to read because it has a lot of letters damaged. Stone was armored, and the size of the shield is with a length of 46 cm, width 30 cm. The legend says that the stone came from Baitulmakdis (Al Quds) in Jerusalem - Palestine. From the words that appear Baitulmakdis Holy name which means holy, so that the mosque is called the Holy Mosque and the city named by the Holy city.
Mosque Minaret consists of 5 pieces right side door, and 5 pieces left door. The windows all have 4 pieces. Large door consists of 5 pieces, and a large pillar in the mosque which comes from teak wood is 8 pieces. However, this mosque is not in the original, larger than the original because in 1918 - an already renovated. Inside the mosque there is a pool, pool-shaped "padasan" is a relic of the primeval and serve as a place of ablution. Is still in question until now, whether the pool Hindu relic or deliberately created by Sunan Kudus to adopt the Hindu culture. Inside the mosque there are 2 pieces of the flag, which is located on the right and left of the preacher read a sermon. On the front porch of the mosque there is a gate door, which is commonly referred to by residents as "Lawang twin", is said gate is derived from the former Majapahit kingdom first, the arch was once used as a door mirror.
Ghost stories of the tower there were various versions, there are opinions that say, "that the Holy tower is the former temple of the Hindus,". The proof is almost similar shape Kidal Temple located in East Java, established about 1250 or similar Singosari Temple. Another opinion says that under the Ghost Tower, once there is a fountain of life. Why? because the living creatures that have died if included in the spring into life again. Because it is feared will cult, ditutuplah spring by building towers. Holy tower height of approximately 17 meters, around decorated with a picture discs, all of which amounted to 32 fruit number. 20 pieces including a blue and berlukiskan mosque, men with camels and palm trees. Who's the other 12 pieces of red and white flowers berlukiskan. In the tower there is the stairs are made of teak wood which may be made in 1895 AD About the building and decoration clearly shows its relationship with the Hindu art of Java. Because Minaret building that consists of 3 parts: (1) Feet (2) Body and (3) The peak of the building. Also decorated with ornamental art, or artefix (decoration that resembles a small hill).
Unique and historical impression this is a very interesting religious tourists and ordinary tourists. Every day this place is always crowded by tourists, tourists from around the Holy city is usually visited on a weekday, Saturday and Sunday are usually more visitors from out of town. On 10 Shura 'is the culmination of a crowd in the mosque complex, in order khaul Kanjeng death of Sunan Kudus. Although it contains a unique characteristic, but the spatial structure of the mosque seems unorganized. Being situated in the center of the Holy city, just 5 minutes from the square of the Holy city, the mosque was surrounded by a fairly dense housing residents. Thus, reduced the beauty of the Minaret Mosque complex of buildings that are now entering as one of the cultural heritage. In addition, the number of beggars who were around the mosque, also can interfere with the visitors who come. Kept awake for sustainability, the arrangement of space around the mosque must be repaired back to maintain a beautiful and unique impression Mosque Minaret this.

Mosque of Kraton Surakarta
