[Summer of Epics] E04⏐The sunken treasure of Belitung


Listen Later

[Summer of Epics]

Some treasures disappear forever ... but others resurface.

Like the sunken treasure of Belitung.

Once submerged in a reef, somewhere in the Java Sea, the treasure now holds pride of place, in the heart of the Asian Civilizations Museum in Singapore.

Presented in a display that evokes the benevolent and impetuous waves on which it once sailed, the Belitung Treasure contains remarkable riches.

It is also connected to the great history of the Silk Roads. Synonymous with human adventure, full of wonder and peril.
