A famous Malaysian cleric has stirred attention online after claiming that the ancient Egyptians preserved their mummies using camphor imported all the way from Kedah. The statement links Southeast Asia to one of the world’s most iconic civilizations, a bold claim that continues to spark curiosity and controversy.

Keklantan and Kekdah now trying outsell ketum between each other.

Might as well claim Adam and Eve were from Kedah

It is plausible

The tree camphor sourced from, dryobalanops aromatica is native to SEA. Camphor in ancient times were traded heavily through India and reached Egypt.

Boikot kedah jual barang kat firaun! Boikot!!!

Kesian ada inferiority complex sampai kena cipta cerita dongeng to make themselves feel better.

But we are not the only place.on SEA that has ecosystem that allows those trees to grow.

camphor did came from this region.

i dont know what exactly this ustat claim. but I think he probably marry the idea of camphor SEA origin with the idea of kedah tua being an ancient sea port as old as roman and egypt back then.

its plausible.

Even this also lose to Thailand. Kratom so famous till now need to ban soon

When I first saw the title in the main page, I thought it was "that lady" again.

I forgot that we have many like that lady in this country.

Same like Indians in India.

Ayam not surprised!
Since nasi lemak also reaches Egypt and the Egyptians loves nasi lemak till all pyramid are shaped like nasi lemak!

I more interested what the motive he bring this up?

let me guess. no evidence?

The bigger picture is why all these mat kopiah and minah tudung keep doing this?

I am sure kampung pakcik and makcik will believe. They are at their last leg of life on this planet. And they need a little proud to being along to afterlife. Even if it was fake.

I said it’s plausible

Do elaborate good sir

Kedah is SEA
SEA is not Kedah

Claim lan kao everything la..

Claim nenek moyang elon musk mark zukerberg also from kedah also better

While driving in Thailand, you can get the kratom juice like people selling sugar cane juice all along the way.

The Thai government is, however, trying to control kratom sales nowadays, so you can't find them so openly like 1 or 2 years ago.

Ironic, since cannabis is still widely and freely available, despite the so-called "medical-only" new regulations.

If anyone wants to know, the kratom juice tastes like green tea.

much closer if they get from south india

Facts are they also sourced camphor from SEA

Are these consider brainrot content?

as brainrot as /k.

Malaysia ke arah dunia!

maybe they're from the same family lineage kot.

biar je la

u claimed the credit
then what next?

kesian orang melayu

If it's true then what? Gosok batang melancap because of the past?

To compensate inferiority….

camphor trees can grow everywhere....
next to highway, cleared bush, etc.... grow like weed je

plenty in India, etc...

so why need to import from so far?

Assuming he's correct... so what?

He want Egypt to pay royalties or something?

Ok ok we get it, almost all things created and supplied from here

Not required. Can make a link can liao

Those didn't study history don't know, historical facts is verifiable, from counterparty, other museum, etc.

Claim without substantiation is syok sendiri.

some ppl just wan their ego stroked.

instead of inventing story like this, it is better to think how to lift their bangsa out of budaya tongkat. even if u terror a few hundred years ago, all that means nothing if your cucu cicit today cannot survive without tongkat

lol exactly, thats why i refrain myself from listening to any trash preachers ceramah
all they did is talking about the past just to feel good instead of actually discussing how to bring the ummah to the next level

Tak habis2..what is the agenda?

dia camwhore ada la

Later will claim kedahan was the first trader to cross Indian ocean, taught Egyptians to build pyramid.

It can be true, but not exclusive from kedah

Nampak sangat ketinggalan bas ni

They export so much and the use so teruk in US that FDA wanna regulate

Where evidence? Hatam je

Even if it is true, tak sure need to feel bangga or not?

Got proof or at least plausible findings on this?

Kata-kata ustaz tak boleh pakai la.
Stick to agama enough.

Topkek

All these uztaz and PhD

Did he forget that the last of the great Egyptian empire was in the period of 1500BC? And the greatest period was in the 2500BC?

Who lived in mesia during that period?

according to google, YES.. camphor was malaya heavily traded commodity.. and yes mummies in egypt has traces of kedah camphor!.. don't play play

Camphor came from 2 places

Sumatra and Borneo

No Kedah
Full stop. Jangan budaya asyik claim. Sudah.
Kalau beli dari Kedah pun ditanam di Sumatra.
