The Singapore Stone

Long held to be the oldest surviving piece of a far larger boulder that used to stand near Bukit Larangan and the Singapore river but which was probably blown up by British engineers to make way for construction, the last remaining piece of the Stone shows that an advanced civilisation had past through or could have even existed on Singapore island somewhere since the 14th Century CE.

Historians have not been able to decipher or pin-point what sort of script is on the stone and so it remains a mystery who exactly were the earliest inhabitants of Temasek.
