In the fifth century AD, Prince Manohara was said to have mapped his voyage from India to the legendary mountain of Srikunja, 800 years before surviving sea-charts appeared in the West. These legends reflect reality: the precocity of long voyages and cultural exchanges over vast distances. Thanks to the regularity and accessibilty of the monsoon winds, the Indian Ocean was traversed with relative ease for hundreds of years before exploitable routes across the Atlantic or Pacific, with their fixed-wind systems, came into use.
