From Ancient Maps to Marine Fossils
In this month’s rojak, we have a tantalizing and eclectic blend befitting the theme of stories that are not about Southeast Asia and archaeology, but kinda are. Dive into the enigmatic world of a Southeast Asian cloth map, a new species of dwarf crocodile from Thailand's Phu Phan mountains, and the delicate balance between cultural respect and global curiosity.
The Rojak is a bonus newsletter for my supporters and paid subscribers. It is named after an exotic salad found in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.Thank you for reading, and no museums were hacked (by me!) during the making of this newsletter.
