		To understand the importance of Hippalus' discovery we have to know that before him Greek geographers thought that the Indian coast stretched from west to east.
		Hippalus was probably the first (in the west) to recognize the north-south direction of India's westcoast.
		The use of Hippalus' direct route greatly contributed to the prosperity of trade contacts between Ptolemaic Egypt and India from the 1st century BCE onwards.

		It was a shorter route and avoided the depredations of pirates and loical lords along the coast and could take advantage of the seasonal winds.

		An exploit so adventurous and so triumphant, rendered Hippalus the Columbus of his age, and his countrymen, to perpetuate his renown, called the winds which he had mastered by his name.
		An extensive acquaintance was now acquired with the sea-coast of India, and the great work of Pliny, compiled less than fifty years after the discovery of Hippalus, serves to attest the additional knowledge regarding Ceylon which had been collected during the interval.

		The best place on the Moon to see basin-centered concentric rilles is near the crater Hippalus on the east side of Mare Humorum.
		In this remarkable image by Stephen Keene, Hippalus is the large (58 km wide) crater with a breached rim on the right side of the image, and part of Campanus is visible on the left (south up).
		Arcing through the middle of the image is a family of three prominent rilles whose radii of curvature point to a central focus somewhere in the middle of Mare Humorum, to the right.

		Hippalus showed that by taking advantage of these winds, a round trip between Egypt and the pepper- producing Malabar Coast of India could be completed in less than a year.
		Until Hippalus' discovery, such a voyage was taking at least two years.

		The ring mountains are not as obvious as, for example, the Apennines are for Mare Imbrium, but an inner ring starting on the western edge of Gassendi and running round just inside Mersenius, through Vitello and up to Hippalus, is fairly evident even on this picture.
		One of these is Leibig Scarp, named after the crater just to its west, and the feature probably connects with a similar scarp seen protruding from the western side of Gassendi.
		A collection of wrinkle ridges can be seen at and outside of Puiseux D. Between Hippalus and Campanus you can see three rilles (the Hippalus Rilles) that are clearly arcuate to the basin.

		The use of monsoon wind in the Indian Ocean for maritime trade was a boon to the sailing ships to reach overseas countries.
		It is believed that Hippalus discovered monsoon wind in AD 45-47.
		Before the discovery of monsoon wind the mariners of Orissa, India set their journey to Southeast Asian countries during the northeast monsoon (trade wind) and return during the Southwest monsoon.

		For many years the existence of maritime trade between southern Mesopotamia, southern Iran, the Persian Gulf, Bahrain, eastern Arabia, and the Indus valley during the late 3rd and early 2nd millennium B.C.E. has been well documented (Gadd, 1932, pp.
		This research is relevant in the present instance, because it provides clear evidence of the knowledge, ability, and experience in the use of the monsoon winds that were necessary for sailing between India and the West on the part of sailors in the region long before the Greek mariner Hippalus.
		The latter made the supposed 'discovery', in the early Roman imperial era, of the periodicity of the monsoons and how to use them for Indian Ocean seafaring (i.e., the southwest wind, May-October, and the northeast wind, December-March; see Kulke, 1998, p.

		My glimpses were intermittent, and all lay within 50 Km north of Brayley.
		Further south, I could see portions of Rima Milichius, the northern half of Rima Herigonius, essentially all of the Rimae Hippalus that are shown on the large-format Rukl charts, and all of Rima Hesiodus.
		The latter is not particularly difficult as rilles go, but its (selenographic) easternmost portion was some 20 degrees from the terminator, and the rille's orientation is nearer east/west than north/south, which means that its walls were not favorably placed to cast shadows.
