Exploring the Pacific - The Great Ocean - Extra History - #1

Thanks to our Patrons for selecting this topic! Want to choose what subject we cover next? Join us on Patreon and vote on topics for EH! http://bit.ly/EHPatreon Welcome to our first episode on the Pacific Ocean and the cultures that explored and settled on the island chains. We'll be talking about the three sections of the Pacific: Micronesia, Melanesia, and Polynesia. But before we can talk about the people, we have to talk about the ocean itself. The Pacific Ocean was nicknamed the Peaceful Ocean by Ferdinand Magellan, but nothing could be farther from the truth. Ringed by volcanoes, and resting over several tectonic plates, the Pacific Ocean is vast, deep, and a hotspot for earthquakes and tsunamis.

Hooray! More Alternate History time, despite the lack of relevance to the Pacific: 1213 In the Sri Vijayan Empire, a Nation highly Dependent on International Trade Wealth, is not Able to send its Ships through the Red Sea or the newly re ~ opened Suez Canal that lets Boats continue to the Mediterranean Sea and, hence, to Europe. The Non ~ stop Wars between the Powers in that Region have deeply Hurt the International Trade Situation, which had Flourished before the Break up of China. It is because of this Situation and its bad Effects for Sri Vijaya that Sri Vijaya begins to send out Missions of Exploration to try and Discover an Alternative Route to Europe. 1450 In the Sri Vijayan Empire, the Great Age of Sri Vijayan Sailing is Drawing to its Close. The larger Populations that the American Crops have Created have Caused a Shortage of Wood in some Places. As a Direct Consequence of Building the Great Chinese ~ Style Junks that the Sri Vijayans need for Travelling the Oceans is often seen as a Waste of Resources. The Sri Vijayans have Sailed as far as is Humanly Possible with the Technology they Currently have, and the Islands of their Archipelago are well Populated. There is no more Virgin Land for them to Sail and Trade over Thousands of Miles for Tools and Slaves is just not Worth it. Sri Vijaya itself Remains an Ocean ~ going Empire and continue to Sail for vast Distances ~ Persian Shahs still Dine on Sri Vijayan Cuisine, Arabian Women still Regularly Scent themselves with Sri Vijayan Perfumes, and European Kings are still Prepared to Pay Jaw ~ Dropping Prices for the latest Oriental Fashions [much to the Disgust of the Religious Authorities] but these Voyages are now the Exception rather than a way of Life. P.S: Since I don't know any of the Moana soundtrack is it all right if I hum "The Pacific" theme instead?

Sorry, but when you name something "The Great Ocean", the soundtrack I hear is not Moana...

*165,250,000 km² - To convert miles to kilometers you use a factor of about 1.6, but to convert square miles to square kilometers the factor needs to be squared, so about 1.6² = 2.56. Apart from that another good video!

This sounds like it will be really interesting and something not covered in a lot of history books in the US. Please continue to do these topics!

For some, it's the Walpole connections, which I admit are fun and educational. But what keeps my eyes glued to my screen, instead of also slowly playing Sid Meier's Civ, as I listen, is spotting Zoe! I gave a Zoe plush to a friend who'd lost a cat. Her cat had come from a harsh life, and was an emotional and physical wreck. But her last home was full of love, and she left an empty space, where there's now a Zoe plush, who doesn't run and hide.
