Majapahit's Sailing Seasons and the Monsoon Trade

In this episode of Fexingo History, Lucas and Luna explore the maritime logistics that underpinned the Majapahit Empire. Focusing on how the monsoon winds shaped trade and naval campaigns, they discuss the role of the jongs, the seasonal cycle that determined sailing windows, and how Gajah Mada's Palapa Oath required precise timing. They examine the strategic importance of ports like Tuban and the spice route from the Moluccas, and touch on the limitations of medieval sailing technology. Learn how the empire's reach was both enabled and constrained by the rhythms of the Indian Ocean. #Majapahit #MaritimeHistory #Monsoon #PalapaOath #GajahMada #Jong #SpiceTrade #Nusantara #Tuban #Moluccas #IndianOcean #SailingSeasons #MedievalTrade #SoutheastAsia #History #FexingoHistory #Podcast #AncientEmpires Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
