I very much doubt that the monsoon wind navigation was figured out as recently as this, nor do I think that most people believe the Greeks discovered it. Number one, Madagascar was colonized by people from Borneo; number two, the Sumerians arrived in Mesopotamia from the sea, and as a large-scale migration they probably had prior knowledge of the seasonal winds -- over 5000 years ago. Have a great week, all! To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

Good points. Also, Hinduism goes back into the B.C. era in Southeast Asia. It’s a heck of a lot easier to travel between there and India by sea rather than land.
