History of Mount Tangkuban Perahu
The history of the origin of Mount Tangkuban Perahu is associated with the legend of Sangkuriang, who is said to have fallen in love with his mother, Dayang Sumbi. To thwart her son's intention to marry her, Dayang Sumbi proposed that Sangkuriang build a boat overnight. When his attempt failed, Sangkuriang got angry and kicked the boat so that it landed upside down. This boat then formed Mount Tangkuban Perahu.
Mount Tangkuban Perahu is an active volcano whose status is continuously monitored by the Indonesian Directorate of Volcanology. Some of the craters still show signs of the volcano's activity. Among the signs of this volcanic activity is the appearance of sulfur gas and hot springs at the foot of the mountain, one of which is in the Ciater basin, Subang.
The existence of this mountain and the topography of Bandung, which is a basin with hills and mountains on each side, strengthens the theory of the existence of a large lake that is now the area of Bandung.
It is believed by geologists that the highland area of Bandung with an altitude of approximately 709 m above sea level is the remnant of a large lake formed from the Ci Tarum dam by an ancient volcanic eruption known as Mount Sunda and Mount Tangkuban Perahu is the remains of ancient Mount Sunda. which is still active. This phenomenon can be seen on Mount Krakatau in the Sunda Strait and the Ngorongoro region in Tanzania, Africa. So that the legend of Sangkuriang, which is the story of the people of the area, is believed to be a documentation of the people of the Ancient Mount Sunda area about the events at that time.
