Makam (Tomb of) Sultan Alauddin Mansur Iskandar Muda

Dua kilometer ke selatan makam Sultan Abdul Malik terdapat makam Sultan ke 17 Perak...
Two kilometres to the south of the tomb of Sultan Abdul Malik there exist tomb of the 17th Sultan of Perak...


Nama baginda iaitu Sultan Alauddin Mansur Iskandar Muda seperti menggabungkan nama besar 2 orang Sultan Aceh iaitu Sultan Alauddin Mansur (memerintah 1580-1585) dan Sultan Iskandar Muda (memerintah 1607-1636). Adakah kerana baginda memiliki titisan darah keduanya? Untuk pengetahuan Sultan Alauddin Mansur adalah anakanda kepada Sultan ke 2 Perak, Sultan Mansur Shah.
His high highness name which is Sultan Alauddin Mansur Iskandar Muda seemed to combine the names of 2 major Sultans of Aceh which is Sultan Alauddin Mansur (ruled 1580-1585) and Sultan Iskandar Muda (ruled 1607-1636). Is it because his highness has traces of blood from both? For information Sultan Alauddin Mansur is a son of the 2nd Sultan of Perak, Sultan Mansur Shah.

Kedudukan makam ini sangat terpencil, tidak dapat dimasuki kenderaan darat.
The position of this tomb is very remote, not accesible to land vehicles.


Untuk masuk ke sini saya harus menunggang motosikal sebelum berjalan kaki agak jauh menyusuri Sungai Perak.
In order to reach here I have to ride a bike before walking quite a distance along the banks of the Perak river.
