Carve To The Last Fight

The Family of Archaeologists Turns Out

The Family of Archaeologists Turns Out

"You're not done with your task, my dear Gee," said Mother, hugging her from behind.

"There's still a lot of research and data that I have to verify, Mom, I don't know," replied Gee, looking up when Mom let go of her hug.

A few moments later the mother came back to the workroom with a tray filled with warm drinks, "It seems to drink coffee can lighten Gee a little".

"Wow, thank you, Mom really can read what's on my mind" Gee welcomed the offer with a happy smile, it's been a long time since Gee didn't feel together like this. This conversation between mother and daughter continued until one day when the older sister named Mitha joined in to add to the joy,

There was laughter between them, it didn't feel like the night continued until Mother and Mitha returned to leave Gee who still wanted to continue working. Now and then Gee returned to match some of his father's collection of books that were stored in the closet with the notes he had obtained, unconsciously he fell asleep after being tired of reading in the study.

"Father,! How long have you been beside me?” When Gee opened her eyes, she seemed to smile in front of her. His eyes flashed tenderness, for a moment kissed the forehead of the girl who had just woken up, then hugged her.

"Dad didn't think you were growing up fast, girl," he said for a moment, then asked the girl to move on and go back to sleep in her room. Leaving his work unfinished and not wanting to disturb his father who might still be tired from a long journey.

The smell of flowers and the aroma of coffee that was not far from where he was lying, made the girl who was still wrapping herself in the blanket slightly open her eyelids. Slowly getting up from the bed after his ears heard the sound of the door opening. Aunt Narsih, the house assistant who was not seen, was approaching her with a tray filled with breakfast.

"Thank you, Auntie, just put it on the nightstand" the girl suggested, her hands rolling up the blanket that wrapped her whole body.

"My mother said to Miss Gee, not to go anywhere while she was gone"

"What message and where are you going, and the others?" Gee cut Aunt Narsih's words.

"Mother and Miss Mitha as usual control the branch restaurant workers," said Aunt Narsih briefly.

"Father?"

"Miss Gee's father has gone to teach at the campus since dawn," continued Aunt Ningsih, explaining about her father who had to fill a course at a university whose location was not far from where they lived.

Gee's father is an Archeologist and is also a lecturer at one of the leading universities. Teaching is only one of the activities that his father had to do indirectly, as a true professional supporter of an archaeologist, he must be able to present all that is related to each discovery.

Tuesday from breakfast and cleaning up, Gee returned to the common room that functions as a workspace, which is indeed connected to the family room. In this room, the father is used to spending his time just reading, or the mother often puts several collections of antiques that have history. Some historical relics still need further research.

In one of the rows of books on display in the cupboard, Gee saw that some books looked a little unorganized, it seemed that the father had forgotten to reorganize the book from its original position and intended to tidy up the object.

At a glance, Gee reads one of the covers of these books which contains the history of the royal era. also, some ancient manuscripts are characterized by writings that are completely foreign to him.

"What paper is this?" The girl was a little curious about the different materials from the manuscripts she had seen.

Driven by curiosity, Gee went straight to the table where his laptop was, slowly opened the laptop, and started surfing looking for a little information about the item he was holding.

A manuscript made from lontar from the century BC owned by one of the Javanese Sunda Wiwitan tribes according to a scientific journal that has been published by the national library and refers to several other references from the museum. However, the manuscript in this form is only one of the many methods used to communicate or convey messages.

“Hmm, interesting…!” said Gee a little whisper.

Thinking a little, Gee went back to surfing trying to analyze, match what was written in the papyrus manuscript in his hands, and compare it with a journal that had been uploaded on a site, but could not find or get what he was looking for. Suddenly?

"What's wrong Gee...!?" A voice from behind startled him slightly.

"Dad...you startled me," said Gee a little nervous, it turns out his father had been behind him.

"Hmm ..., what are you looking for and studying Gee? " while looking at the girl who was holding her manuscript. Dad seemed to understand that Gee had similar interests to him.

With a bit of embarrassment, Gee admitted that he was inadvertently trying to find out about the object in his hand. Then slightly invites his father to discuss based on what Gee knows through several sites while surfing but has not gotten what he wants.

With a slight smile, Dad then said, "Of course you haven't found any research results or journals that publish things related to this thing, Gee."

"Father, you mean that this manuscript is still under research and must be stopped because it has not been proven or indeed a link has not been found with a previously existing manuscript?" Gee asked for further explanation.

"It's not like that Gee, have you forgotten that historical evidence will only be studied if there is a connection with another history" the father seems to provoke a little knowledge that the daughter has and intends to test it.

"Yes, father, history is a record of the time and if there is no supporting evidence that supports this, then the validity value cannot be ascertained" I don't want the father to talk like dealing with his students on campus. Because it bores him.

"Sorry ..., sorry Gee, dad can't stop the habit that makes you bored" half-joking dad read what his daughter was thinking.

Gee looks at the manuscript in the form of a palm leaf in his hand which he thinks has a bit of an oddity.

"Father, the pages contained in this lontar manuscript seem to be only partially or incomplete, do you realize it?" Gee asked with a bit of emphasis.

"Hmm, it turns out that you pay attention to the physical object, well I'll tell you from the beginning about the object that is in you"

Gee's father then told him about the origin of the lontar manuscript which he obtained several decades ago by accident in a forest while looking for firewood with his friends.

Stealing is more accurate when comparing it with today where all social systems have been properly accommodated, but not for antiquity because the location and existence of these objects no longer have them, in other words, is a place that has been abandoned. by its inhabitants over time. Not to mention the change in natural conditions caused by human behavior itself is the main trigger for the place to be neglected until it is abandoned.

If we investigate much deeper, we will return to the basic understanding of all life that exists on this earth. Whether we realize it or not, all forms of matter that exist in nature are a unity woven by a term called symbiotic mutualism.

Nature plays an important role for every object in it, including inanimate objects and living things, as a result of the influence of Sementa itself. This role causes evolution in the sequence based on the calculation of the unit of time. Nature also plays a role if something returns there is a deviation from something unexpected that interferes with the process which is commonly called revolution. One certain thing is that nature guides every creature in it to remain in its will and living things are only the driving force of something we call media or space.

Back to the topic of discussion regarding the origin of the lontar manuscript which is still a mystery. Can not be separated from the function and role of one of the creatures, in this case, is humans as a driving force where humans have their way as well as other living things for the sake of survival or existence of life, especially the capacity in terms of the memory of the selection of nature itself.

This papyrus manuscript is one of the methods that humans have as external memory from many other ways, including one method that is still a mystery, namely the knowledge of internal memory which is so complex.

"Father ..., Father please stop!" Gee cuts in again to stop his father's explanation and reveals that his method of delivery is no longer relevant.

"You mean ?" replied the father still not realizing.

"Listen, father, the point is this, conservative in delivering the message is also proof of the need for revolution, father should have realized"

“Oops…,?!” His face was red as if he was holding back an uncontrollable laugh.

"Why hold father, just let go" Gee laughed first to express what was on his mind.

"Ha ..., ha ..., ha ...," his father, who was originally holding back, couldn't help but laugh together. Realizing that this is the real part of the process he has been studying.

The father then went to his room just to rest, leaving Gee who was still surfing online.
