Life imitates Phantom comic with largest whale graveyard found in Indian Ocean

Recently a whale graveyard was found in the Indian Ocean, and some have claimed it to be the largest know graveyard in the world, including fossils of previously unknown whale species. The reason this is interesting from a Phantom's perspective is because in the very first Phantom story "The Singh Brotherhood" created by Lee Falk and Ray Moore, Diana found a whales' graveyard that was being hunted by the Singh Pirates who wanted the ambergris.

While ambergris is not used as much for perfume in today's world, back in the 1930s it was costly and greatly sought after. For instance, in 1930, a 44-pound haul brought in an impressive $11,000 (roughly $172,000 adjusted for modern inflation). Even in modern days in 2021, fishermen found a 127 kg (280-pound) piece of ambergris off the coast of Yemen, valued at US$1.5 million.

Above is a copy of the original story featuring Diana talking about the ambergris she found. In the story, she talked about the graveyard being off the coast of Java,known which is not too far from this recent discovery. As you can see, the graveyard found by the Chinese scientists is off the coast of Perth, Western Australia, but due north of Australia is Java, which is only a few sailing days away.

Is this just a coincidence of life imitating a comic?
