this must have originally been scripted to take place in asia.the whole thing jars with the realities of amazonia.the chief talks of the great rains(monsoon),the naga is the image of the multi-headed hindu examples like kaliya,the native obsession with long life ,ancestors and snakes is pure south east asian.i would bet that in the first script that the river was the mekong, and by the way the expedition acted,was probably set sometime in the early last century.
