Modern civilization knows it as the Equatorial region, while in China the Ming Dynasty manuscript of the 14th century referred to the country as sanfai the author gave a clue to the location of the country in the south.
Then the era changed to the contemporary era the dream of searching for treasure turned into a journey to find the scientific truth about the story.
Contemporary researchers agree that the island referred to in the ancient manuscript is in Sumatra, Indonesia.
In his book the rise and glory of Srivijaya from the 3rd to 7th centuries in 2017 historian Walters wrote many historical notes about Sumatra that show how popular Southeast Asia was in the past as the world's main source of gold.
In a book entitled the Aceh kingdom in 1986, French historian Denis Lombard described the situation in Aceh which was much more frightening. He stated that there were 300 gold mines in the Aceh kingdom and each mine was estimated to be able to produce unlimited 24 carat gold.
When French General Agustin arrived in Aceh in 1621 he saw a lot of gold as if Aceh was a land that produced gold. That the gold found is often in lump form according to several historical studies, significant exploitation of Sumatran gold occurred during the colonial period.
Colonial rulers made money from the gold and spice trade. Local residents also took advantage of the opening of the international gold trade as an opportunity to make money.
They process gold to sell and give birth to new, wealthy entrepreneurs. Several names of businessmen from Sumatra who became rich thanks to gold then made donations when Indonesia became independent.
Currently gold mining in a number of areas of Sumatra is still ongoing but not as massive as before, the amount of gold on the island has decreased drastically.
Regarding the story of the gold-plated island, it seems more appropriate to attribute it to another island at the eastern tip of Indonesia, namely Papua.

Well, first there is Central Papua Province where the gold is located in Mimika Regency. Papua is the largest gold mining area in Indonesia managed by PT Freeport. Where they produce around 240 kg of gold every day, there are even 1.76 million tons of gold reserves in the land.
Next there is the province of West Nusa Tenggara, precisely in the land of Sumbawa, there is a green stone mine and it is the second largest gold producing area in Indonesia and it is estimated that there are 2.77 million ounces of raw gold there.

Next there is in the province of Central Kalimantan where in the province of Central Kalimantan, precisely in the village of Pujon which is one of the largest gold mines in Indonesia, even there it is often referred to as the Gold Village because it has abundant gold ore.
Lastly is the province of East Java, precisely in the seven Banyuwangi Hills which is one of the largest gold producing cities in Indonesia. It is estimated that there are around 28 million ounces of gold reserves there from a total mineral reserve of 1.9 tons.
