AUSTRONESIAN MUSEUM

THE FIRST AND REAL AUSTRONESIAN MUSEUM LOCATED IN AUSTRONESIA --in the WORLD! “The South China Sea was known as the (Austronesian) Champa Sea for almost 2000 years. The only thing “historical” about China’s “historical” Nine-dash line claims to the Austronesian Champa Sea was when Portuguese cartographers such as João de Lisboa and Lopo Homem  put the name “South China Sea” over the correct “Champa Sea” of Queen Ponagar of Champa in their maps.” Chinese Junks were "fluvial" until technology from Kunlunpos, Balangays, Paraws (that originated in Panay Island) --"outriggers" and "Crab Claw Sails," were maritime navigation jewels of Austronesians--improved Chinese Junks. THE CONCEPT of "sailing against the wind,"came from Panay Island in Austronesia specifically the Iloilo Strait. Ancient world maritime navigation technology came from the "giant bamboo outriggers" and the Crab Claw Pandan Sails of Iloilo.
