	At some point prior to 1725, Hendrik began a search for Angkor, which was rumored to house [[Piece of Eden\|Pieces of Eden]], after meeting a [[Scholar\|monk]] in [[Cebu]] who told him about a similar search conducted by the [[Portugal\|Portuguese]] explorer [[Ferdinand Magellan]] two centuries prior.
