Be ASEAN

Why would they do it?
They are too poor to fund the expedition and just ordinary fisherman that want to trade with the aborigins
Do you think abo would let them settled in their land?
The real question is why Majaphit never reached it

Hindus are bad at sailing

Must be the reason that Hinduism spread through the Indonesian archipelago? Oh wait...

Maybe they could have sailed to South Australia.
To know what's beyond, to see where the world ends. To know the limits of everything.

Other asians probably spread hinduism to Indonesia

That's not the job of Trepanger

Those are perfectly western ideals, most of the ancient southeast Asian kingdoms wouldn't care less about what lies beyond, as long as they can defeat their rival kingdoms.

>So why didn't they settle it? Why didn't they explore it?
Presumably for the same reasons it took 3 sets of European explorers to finally settle here.

The only habitable parts of the country are too far down the coastline, for back in that time, it wasn't prime real estate.

You European were already united before under Roman Empire, that's why you explored the other areas. Our man's romance was to unite the archipelago and we didn't even unite all the archipelago yet before the west came here.
Then why it took so long to unite? Because our history was full of backstabbing and civil wars. When our area was big, someone wanted to get some of it and then civil wars happened. Though ironically Majapahit was born with backstabbing the mongol.

Imagine having your great empire born out of turning against such a transcontinental horde that was the biggest civilization the world had ever seen at the time.

Majapahit was the seed of a glorious civilization that would've stood for many centuries, if only that cuckold Brawijaya the fifth didn't let his faggot son Raden Fatah to convert to Islam and form the Demak Sultanate, just what kind of a superpower it would've been. Perpetual failed invasions of Malacca was also a problem, should've dismantled the Portuguese presence from within.
