Read about how Quests of the Dragon and Bird Clan retraces mysterious ancient trade routes!
Author
Paul Kekai Manansala has researched ancient and medieval history for
decades traveling to far corners of the world for clues about
little-known ancient maritime voyaging and oceanic trade networks. He
has collaborated and corresponded with recognized experts like Dr.
Stephen Oppenheimer, author of Eden in the East and archaeologist
Wilhelm Solheim in developing this ground-breaking study.
Manansala's book Quests of the Dragon and Bird Clan explores the history of an ancient maritime trade thalassocracy founded by peoples called Nusantao.
The Nusantao were intrepid seafaring people who learned to master celestial navigation in very early times. These oceanic adventurers interacted with other peoples included the Neolithic Yayoi who the author suggests used Nusantao trade routes in migrating to Japan.
Catastrophic events like sea flooding and volcanoes stimulated Nusantao exploration and migration further and further abroad. In the course of these wide-ranging travels, Manansala suggests that these sea explorers altered history in wide-ranging areas in ways never before explored.
For example, he claims that the legendary king Prester John of the Indies was an historical and not-so-legendary Nusantao king. Also he provides evidence that the Holy Grail, which most medieval texts claim came from, and returned to the Indies, was related to Nusantao spiritual culture.
Quests of the Dragon and Bird Clan has one-of-a-kind insights that you will not find any other history book!

Long ago, beginning in the New Stone Age, a people that included the ancestors of the Malayo-Polynesian people, known as the
Nusantao, spread news of the world's center to the far reaches of the globe.
A great churning of the ocean -- a major volcanic eruption
-- had left clues convincing these
ancient navigators that they had discovered the axis mundi, the link between the three worlds of old mythology!
