Chennai: Paddy and land that came out of the jars excavated during the excavation in Sivakalai in Tuticorin Regency have confirmed that civilization developed on the banks of the Thamirabarani River 3,200 years ago, Minister M Stalin said told the State Assembly on Thursday.
This, he said, was confirmed by AMS Carbon Dating carried out by US Lab Beta Analytic.
It was found that rice in USN belongs to 1,155 BC which is 600 years older than the sample found in Keeladi in the Sivaganga district where the ongoing excavation has created interesting findings.
Historians say that graffiti found in Indus valley civilizations and those found in South India are around 80% identical.
This shows that there may be several linguistic connections between Indus Valley Civilization, South India and Sri Lanka.
The shorttized river in the state, Thamirabarani began in the Bukit Pothiga of Western Ghats in Ambasamudam Taluk, flowing through Tirunelveli and Thoothukudi and Ethics in Korkai (Tirunelveli District) to Mannar Bay (Bay of Bay of Bay.
Stalin said the government would establish a museum in Tirunelveli to showcase rare artifacts found in Adichanallatur and Sivagalai in the districts of thoothukudi and korgai at a cost of Rs 15 years.
“To assign the Country and Cultural Chairs and Culture, the state government will conduct excavations in Chera Era Port City Musir (now Pattanam) in Kerala along with local archaeologists.
Likewise, the study will be conducted in Vengi in Andhra Pradesh, Talakadu in Karnataka and most at Odisha with the help of local archaeologists, “Stalin said, making Suo-Motu’s statement in the assembly.
He said the State Archaeological Department will conduct research in Quseir al-Qadim in Egypt, which was once part of the Roman Empire and in Khor Rori in Oman, to establish Tamil’s trade relations with these countries.
The government will also conduct similar studies in Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam (conquered by King Tamil Rajendra Chola) with the help of local archaeologists, he added.
“Looking for Tamils cultural roots, we will travel throughout the world.
The government will scientifically establish evidence that the history of Indian continental children must begin with the Tamil landscape,” said the minister’s chairman.
He remembered that the Government Government had left excavation in Keeladi incomplete, encouraging the country to continue its initiative.
“Further excavation and carbon dating stipulates that Tamil attaches to the sixth century BC.
Keeladi has reunited Tamils throughout the world and with that spirit, the State Archaeological Department now explores sites in Adichanallur, Sivagalai, Kodumanal, Mayilabilbarai and Gangaikonda Cholapuram,” he said .
