<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 422835, member: 2844&quot;]Yes, I noticed that before, and I also came across some mistakes. The Gotheborg site is so very extensive that mistakes are bound to happen. It is a learning process for anyone who starts an information site. And he welcomes extra information.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another thing on the Gotheborg site, something most people won&#039;t come across or be bothered about, but which boggled my mind: Jan-Erik Nilsson went to Bali to research what remained of the Majapahit pottery tradition.</p><p>Majapahit was an East Javanese kingdom that once ruled most of SE Asia. Bali was one of its colonies. To get to Bali by plane, you fly directly over the territory of Majapahit proper.</p><p>I fail to understand the logic. Why go to a colony to research the dominating nation? Why not go to the former Majapahit capital and surrounding region, where Majapahit style ceramics are made to this day? His explanation was that a Hindu island would have kept more of the ceramics tradition than a pre-dominantly Muslim one.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
