There is a legend that is said to be written in the ancient book of the 15th century, that the island of Java used to float in the ocean and wobbled. Then the gods decided to nail Java Island with Mount Meru. This mountain itself was in India. The one who brought him to Java was the god Vishnu and the god Brahma.
At first Mount Meru is placed in the western tip of Java, but this makes the position of the island of Java is one-sided. So divided this mountain. Until becoming Mount Semeru placed on the east side of East Java, and Mount Penanggungan on the west side of Java.
Well that was some mystery and myth that envelop the beautiful Mount Semeru. Believe it or not, it helps us to respect what is a belief for others. Right?
