Opinions regarding the origin of the different Kanekes opinion among thehistorians, who based his opinion by the synthesis of some historical evidencein the form of inscriptions, travelogues Portuguese and Chinese sailors, andfolktales about the 'Tatar Sunda' which is quite minimal existence. Kanekescommunities associated with the Sunda Kingdom before its collapse in the 16thcentury centered on Pakuan Pajajaran (around Bogor now).

Thus the rulerof the region, known as Prince shoots General considers that the preservationof the river should be maintained. For that govermented royal army ofhighly trained to maintain and manage the heavily wooded and hilly areas in theregion of Mount Kendeng. The existence of a special task forces with theseemingly became the forerunner of Beduy’s society that still inhabit theheadwaters on Mount Kendeng Ciujung the (Adimihardja, 2000).

And King Siliwangi chased up to the valley (Baduy now), andhide until abandoned. Then the prabu was renamed with the new title of KingGolden Wungu, which might have changed the title again. And in Baduy dalam.prabu siliwangi enthroned with 40 loyal followers, until later will be civilwar between them and us, represented by ki Saih a human form but all over hisbody and his face covered by feathers Like the ki monyet.dan this Saih presencein we are at the request of the trustees to God to win the truth
