Majapahit (Javanese: ꦩꦗꦥꦲꦶꦠ꧀; Javanese pronunciation: [madʒapaɪt]), also known as Wilwatikta[note 3] (Javanese: ꦮꦶꦭ꧀ꦮꦠꦶꦏ꧀ꦠ; Javanese pronunciation: [wɪlwatɪkta]), was a Javanese Hindu-Buddhist thalassocratic empire in Southeast Asia. It was from the island of Java in modern-day Indonesia. It existed from 1293 to around 1527. It was strongest during the era of Hayam Wuruk. He took over many places in Southeast Asia during his reign from 1350 to 1389. According to the Nagarakretagama (Desawarñana) written in 1365, Majapahit was an empire that had land from Sumatra to New Guinea.[4][5][6], Spanning across 2 Continents, It had territory in present-day Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, southern Thailand, East Timor, and southwestern Philippines (the Sulu Archipelago).

Majapahit was one of the last big Hindu-Buddhist empires of the region. It is said to be one of the greatest and most powerful empires in the history of Indonesia and Southeast Asia. Its influence went outside the modern territory of Indonesia and has been studied a lot.
