Episode 1 – The Origins of Mauritius: A Journey Through Time
Welcome to the very first episode of The Mauritian Time Capsule! In this episode, we open the capsule on the early history of Mauritius—a small island with a big story.
🌍 From its first recorded discovery by Arab sailors to the arrival of the Dutch, French, and British colonisers, we trace the key moments that shaped the island’s unique identity.
🕊️ Learn about the rise and fall of the dodo, the impact of colonial rule, and how waves of migration—from Africa, Europe, India, and China—formed the multicultural nation we know today.
This episode sets the stage for a deeper understanding of Mauritius’ complex past, laying the foundation for the cultural stories and personal voices we’ll explore in future episodes.
Step in, and discover how history lives on in every corner of the island.
