Long before the Dutch East India Company, the Majapahit Empire ruled the seas of Nusantara. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the maritime foundation of Majapahit's dominance, from the swift lancaran warships to the strategic naval base at Ujung Galuh. They discuss the empire's naval campaigns under Gajah Mada, the vital spice routes connecting the Moluccas to Java, and the sophisticated shipbuilding techniques that produced vessels capable of crossing the Indian Ocean. Learn about the jongs that carried rice, pepper, and tribute across the archipelago, and the naval battles that secured Majapahit's hold over Palembang and the Strait of Malacca. The conversation also touches on the Sailendra legacy of maritime trade, the role of the pasisir ports, and how the empire's naval decline paralleled its political fragmentation. A fresh angle on the sea power that made Majapahit the last great Hindu-Buddhist empire of the archipelago. #Majapahit #NavalHistory #Nusantara #MaritimeTrade #GajahMada #Lancaran #UjungGaluh #Pasisir #SpiceRoute #Moluccas #Palembang #StraitOfMalacca #Java #Sailendra #Shipbuilding #SoutheastAsia #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
