Why it matters
Research identifies Morning of the Earth and its Uluwatu filming context as part of Bali's early modern surf history.
Uluwatu's temples and religious practice are sacred contexts, not visual props for a surf narrative. The record is historical and does not imply filming access today.
Research identifies the 1971–72 filming era as a key point in Uluwatu's visibility to surfers abroad.
