The conventional approach to Moro study has been through the chronological succession of her rulers (e.g. sarsila', tarsila') and largely through their military exploits and political decisions.
While it is easy to say that this is just an aspect of Moro study and that her cultural, scientific, intellectual, social and religious histories may complete her history; reliable data is hard to come and requires extreme patience and dedication. We have few written documents. Our's is largely an oral tradition. Written histories of neighboring states and colonial archives may provide the take-off we've all wanted to happen.
It is interesting to finally unearth the missing parts of the Moro history?
