Historical records and archaeological findings indicate that this area was a melting pot of cultures, religions, and commerce, facilitating the exchange of goods and ideas between traders from the Indian subcontinent, China, the Middle East, and Southeast Asian kingdoms. The valley's significance in regional trade networks from the 5th to 14th centuries is well-documented, showcasing its role in the spread of Hinduism and Buddhism throughout the Malay Archipelago.
