How was Ken Arok actually killed?
Many people know the story of Ken Arok as the founder of Singasari and a major figure in Javanese history. However, behind his glory, there was a secret that ultimately led to his own death.
Why did Ken Dedes tell Anusapati that Ken Arok was the one who killed her biological father, Tunggul Ametung? Did Ken Dedes still harbor a grudge after years of being Ken Arok's wife?
Why didn't Anusapati kill Ken Arok himself and instead used Ki Pengalasan? How was the assassination carried out? Why, after successfully killing Ken Arok, was Ki Pengalasan also killed?
And most interestingly, was all of this actually part of Ken Dedes' master plan?
In this video, we will explore a story full of intrigue, betrayal, revenge, and power struggles that became one of the darkest political dramas in the history of the Singasari Kingdom.
