There is no further record of Srivijaya in the history of Indonesia; the forgotten past was re-established by a foreign scholar. No modern Indonesian people who heard about Srivijaya until the 1920s, when French scholar George Coedes publish his findings in the Dutch language newspaper, and Indonesia. Coedes China stated that the reference to "Sanfoqi", previously read "Sribhoja", and inscriptions in Ancient Malays refer to the same empire.
