It is said that what we call as the kumarikandam and the Lemuria continents as vouched by the European historians are one and the same. Therefore, it is assumed, that the history of Tamils began from the Lemuria era itself. It is further established that the civilisation of the historical sites like Mohanjadero and Harappa are also that of Tamils. The language used there also similar to the ancient one spoken by Tamils. The Archeological findings of Adichanalloor in Tamilnadu in the year 1876 like earthen vessels, golden ornaments, Ornamental brass lamps etc vouch for the fact that the Tamils were equally adept in handling clay as well as various kinds of metals. Kaveripoompattinam and Vaanagiri findings of Chola gold coins and that of Roman gold coins reveal that the Tamils have indulged in sea-trade also with countries across globe.
