The line below is a time axis. Position on it is date, so concurrency is visible: concurrent polities sit side by side rather than in sequence.

3 sourced edges run between this region and another, to Srivijaya, The Sultanate of Demak and The Sultanate of Banten. Those are not drawn on this line — a thread that crossed regions would assert a sequence nobody cited — but they are on each polity’s own page.
