Nagas are semi-divine, semi-human spirits in Indian and Southeast Asian mythology. Notes from a traveler: "He did not think of himself as a tourist; he was a traveler. The difference was partly one of time, he would explain. Whereas the tourist generally hurries back home at the end of a few weeks or months, the traveler, belonging no more to one place than the next, moves slowly, over periods of years, from one part of the earth to another. " — Paul Bowles (The Sheltering Sky)

Husband and wife team, Hans and Roze Berekoven are the Maritime Mysteries Explorers. They are self-taught marine archaeologists and researchers.
Sunda Shelf Archaeology Project is dedicated to the search for evidence of a possible Ice-age civilisation in the waters over the Sunda Shelf in Southeast Asia at a time when that area was dry land. This theory has gained prominence among a number of scholars such as Dr. Stephen Oppenheimer and the late Professor Ayrsio Santos, both who have written books on the subject. In his book, Oppenheimer calls the region Sundaland and believes it is the cradle of a lost 'founder' civilisation from which all post Ice-age Asian civilisations came from.
One of their most significant discoveries was finding the wreck of the British cargo vessel the Viscount Melbourne. The Berekoven's narrowed down a possible site of the wreck just off a reef in the South Luconia Shoals area of the South China Sea after researching various accounts of the ship's journey from Singapore. This lead them to conduct a survey of this area which eventually yielded evidence of the wreck and the discovery of the final resting place of the HMS Viscount Melbourne.
