Compiled by WANI MUTHAH, SYLVIA LOOI and S. ARULLDAS
TAMIL civilisation existed more than 4,000 years ago, said
archaeologists excavating near Chennai, India.
The archaeologists are studying inscriptions on stones and artefacts at
a site in Athicha Nallur, which is believed to be the cradle of Tamil
civilisation, both Tamil Nesan and Malaysia Nanban reported.
They also concluded that the Tamils were already an advanced society
before the Mogul emperors invaded India.
The artefacts were believed to be dated around 1,700BC and the
excavation was handled under a new method called thermo luminescence,
that provided the exact age of the site.
Archaeologists said the "Dravidian Civilisation" started from Tamil
Nadu and spread to the other parts of the world.
