Temasek ('Sea Town' in Old Javanese, pronounced Tumasik) was the earliest recorded name of a settlement on the site of modern Singapore. It is written as 淡马锡 in Chinese (pronounced Danmaxi in Mandarin). From the 14th century, the island has also been known as Singapura, which is derived from Sanskrit and means "Lion City". Legend has it that the name was given by Sang Nila Utama when he visited the island in 1299 and saw an unknown creature, which looked like a lion.
While the early history of Singapore is obscured by myth and legend, some conclusions can be drawn from archaeological evidence and from written references by travellers. Archaeology points to an urbanised settlement on the site by the 14th century. Allusions by travellers gave some evidence that there may have been a city or town present as early as the 2nd century. At its height, the city boasted a large earthen city wall and moat; many of the buildings were built with stone and brick foundations. Remains of old pottery, coins, jewellery and other artifacts have been found, with many of these artifacts believed to be imported from various parts of China, India, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia. These are sometimes seen as evidence of the city's status as a regional trade centre. An aquatic route, part of the larger Silk route, passed through Temasek.

On the inside...
My deepest thoughts, my highest high
Were part of you like sun and sky
My darkest hour, my closest friend
You gave me power to reach the end
Love will come, hold you again
Love will come, wipe away the pain
Hear my heart, call out your name
Driven worlds apart, picture in a frame
On the inside...
The sweetest dream, the coldest tear
Still haunt the room like you were here
A ghost of love, a ghost of hate
The heart forgives, the mind can't wait
Love will come, call out your name
Love will come, hold you again
Hear my heart, call out your name
Driven worlds apart, picture in a frame
Love will come, call out your name
Love will come, I hold you again
Hear my heart, call out your name
