In Papua, the people are better known as swanggi. This is evident in the use of the term bobot, meaning someone who owns a lot of oriental cloth is called bobot, and a bobot usually holds the position of clan/village head. In Indonesia, in particular, and Southeast Asia, people generally did not experience the Copper Age but instead entered the Bronze and Iron Ages. This is evident from the discovery of carved drinking cups in Sauf village, depicting stars, boats, and depicting elements of life considered important. Two famous epics from ancient India, the theory of Atlantis and Lemuria, is now further strengthened by written evidence such as Plato's dialogues with Solon and ancient Egyptian priests about Atlantis, ancient Hindu manuscripts on the Ramayana and Bharatayudha concerning the ancient Rama dynasty, and archaeological evidence of the Monhenjo Daroo civilization, Easter Island, and the pyramids of Egypt and South America.

Moskona's Animism

The alliance of five coastal kingdoms is believed to have had close ties with one another; their kings even claimed to share a common ancestor. Many of the Majapahit soldiers eventually settled in Munaseli, so it's no surprise that many Munaseli residents today appear Javanese. They also had trade ties, even blood ties, with similar alliances stretching from Solor to Lembata. The trade routes established not only among them but also reached Sulawesi. Some even say that small islands in northern Australia were part of this trade route.
