"The 'Kyaukza' of 1442 C.E."
In the "Kyaukza" stone insscription serial No.963/20-23-804- Burmese Era 1442 C.E. there is indication of Muslim King's reign of Arakan in 14th century who were frineds of Burmese Kings and used to visit them. The Kings of Arakan had Muslim titles. If they were not muslim Kings mentioned in the incription, the Muslim Kings of Arakan might be Rohingya Muslim Kings, from the Mayu river valley, the eastern of the Naf River . Rohingyas claim their existence there of over thousands years. If not thousands years, their existence might be from the time of 1202 C.E . When the Muslims conquered Bengal, that is 800 years.
