The Lost City of Muziris | How Did This Mysterious Ancient Indian City Disappear?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 лип 2024
- Muziris, or Muchchiri Patnam as it was known locally, was once one of India's most important port town which traded with the mighty Roman Empire with the black gold, pepper. After hundreds of glorious years, the port city Muziris disappeared without leaving any trace. Or did it?
Join me today as I learn more about our illustrious past, and find the answer to the question - is Muziris lost forever, or have the recent excavations helped us identify the exact place where the city existed?

Corrections:
1. The floods took place in 1341 CE and not 1431 CE as I mentioned in the video. That's an error from my side.
2. Portuguese reached India in late 15th Century

I had heard about Muziris when I was studying Indology during 1996-98. I got to see some artefacts dug out from the ancient port city thanks to you.
That’s fascinating! I learnt about it only recently and was absolutely enamoured by it :)
Missing my Kerala and its magical monsoon.
A few suggestions
1. Muziris is now a heritage site, and you could have visited the Kottapuram fort and market associated
2. Try to check out Kochi -Muziris biennale, which draws a lot of croud and artists around the world.
3. Chendamangalam synagogue is an example..but there are a handful of synagogue in that area, also the first masjid -cheraman masjid is a heritage site now and many oldest churches (Syrian Churches) in South Asia / India can be found nearby.
The fort and the market were certainly on my itinerary, but had to skip due to time. Hopefully next time :)
"It is the tradition among the Christians of Malabar (Kerala) that a 'Xarao Perimal' (Cheraman Perumal) of Cranganore (Kodungallur) was so very well affected to them and that through them he was converted to Christianity and persuaded to go to Meliapor (Mylapore in Tamil Nadu)" - Diego de Couto (16th Century)
"The pagans (Hindus) of Malabar (Kerala) believes that a king (i.e a King of Kerala or Cheraman) had once ascended up to heaven and they continue to expect his descent therefore they assemble at cranganore (Kodungallur) and keep ready there wooden sandals, water and adorn the place with lamps and decorations on a certain night of the year" - Tuhfat al Mujahidin (16th Century C.E)
It was the tradition among the Hindus of Kerala that a legendary king titled as 'Cheraman Perumal, Cheraman Thampuran, Cheraman Ramavarma etc' of the Kerala (Malabar) tradition aka 'Vira Kerala Chakravarthi' many thousands of years ago had once divided his possessions including his 'Sceptre (chenkol), Crown (mudi), Sword (val) etc' among his nephews and sons of the Kerala-Country (i.e Malayalam, Malanadu, Malamandalam etc) as consisting of 'Kolathiri of Kolathunadu, Eralathiri of Eranadu, Venathiri of Venadu etc' and ascended up to heaven or took a journey to the Ganges (Ganga) river unlike the tradition current among the 'Muslims, Christians etc as according to the foreign travelers themselves in Kerala (Malabar) history.
"The king Cheram Peroumal (Cheraman Perumal) is said to have partitioned Malabar (Kerala) and took a journey either to the Ganges (Ganga river) in fulfilment of a vow or as the Moors (Muslims) say to visit Mohammad in Arabia for embracing his religion." - Jacobus Canter Visscher - 18th Century
Kerala and Tamil Nadu were two different communities that developed in the adjacent regions of the western ghats hence the politics, traditions, social system, religious practices, social customs, architecture, festivals, arts etc of Keralam (i.e Malayalam, Malanadu, Malamandalam etc) were all quite distinct from Tamil Nadu region (i.e Pandi-Nadu, Chola-Nadu etc) since earliest known history.
For Example:
The characters of 'Kannagi and Kovalan' in the Jain prequel 'Silapathikaram' and the Buddhist sequel 'Manimegalai' of Tamil Nadu is 'Kanyavu and Balakan' in the native Old Malayalam ballad of Kerala known as 'Thottam Paattu' in which 'Kanyavu' killed the Pandian king and burned down Madurai and Lord Shiva established her abode at Thiruvanchikulam (i.e Kodungallur) in the Kerala tradition.
The Jain prequel 'Silapathikaram' and the Buddhist sequel 'Manimegalai' of Tamil Nadu are abounded in the references to Brahmanas, Vedic Yajnas and even the art forms of Kerala as present to this very day but the story and the pseudonym or the characters of Ilango adikal, Kannagi, Kovalan, Senguttuvan, Nedumchezhiyan etc are neither historical figures nor historical documents but fictional characters of the traditional mythology of Tamil Nadu and not part of Kerala tradition.
I belong to Syrian orthodox Christian community of kerala, yes I also read about this 📖❤️
Sir, Kerala was one of the 7 janapadas (kingdoms) of Bharata (i.e Indian subcontinent) along with Tulanga (tulu region), Konkana (konkan region) etc that were collectively known as the 'Parashurama Kshetra' (i.e creation of parashurama) and Kerala was one of the 3 janapadas (kingdoms) of Dravidadesha (dravida region) meaning the southernmost region of Bharata (Indian subcontinent) along with Pandya Kingdom and Chola Kingdom as according to the Sanskrit scripture's (i.e Puranas) since known history.
:
The kings of Kerala are referred to as belonging to the Keralakula (i.e Kerala-Dynasty) in the Oldest Sanskrit works of Kerala as the sovereign of Kerala was titled as ‘Keralaputhra’ in Sanskrit since the 3rd Century B.C and similarly Yakshan Keralan, Godha Keralan, Kerala Narayanan, Keralan Srikumaran etc are the various other personal names of Keralites as present in the Oldest Inscriptions of Kerala in Old Malayalam since the 9th century C.E as the Kerala-Country and its capital was under the dominion of the Naaduvaazhikal (i.e vallabhapattanam king, mahodhayapattanam king, kolambhapattanam king etc) as attested by native records and foreign travelers including Al-Biruni since the 11th century C.E
:
For Example: "Malabar (i.e Malayalam Country) is a great province lying towards the west 'of the province of Bandi (i.e Pandya)' and the people here have a language of their own and a king of their own and pay tribute to nobody." - Marco Polo (13th century C.E).
:
It is accepted by Tamil Nadu scholars that the Sanskrit term 'Chola' was written as 'SoRa' in the various Tamil inscriptions of the Chola-Dynasty and similarly, the 'Kerala' kings were referred to as 'SeRa' in the inscriptions of the Invaders from Tamil Nadu until the 12th century C.E as the term 'Sera or Seralan' in Tamil is the transliteration of 'Kerala' in Sanskrit whereas the term 'Pandi or Pandiyan' in Tamil is the transliteration of 'Pandya' in Sanskrit as the term 'Sora or Soran' in Tamil is the transliteration of 'Chola' in Sanskrit hence the land of Kerala was referred to as Cheraman-Nadu, Cheraman-Loka, Chera-Bhumi etc in Kerala records itself.
:
For Example: "...sarvam eve anupashyata tathaiva Andhran cha Pundran cha Cholan, Pandyan, Keralan." - Valmiki Ramayanam - Kishkindha Kanda
:
The 7th century to 12th century inscriptions of Tamil Nadu refers to multiple Pandya kings and Chola kings as having invaded the region of “Malainadu or Kerala” and the Tamil Nadu king Raja Raja Chola (985 C.E -1014 C.E) in his inscriptions on the conquest of Kerala claims that his army invaded the country which was the Creation Of Parashurama (Kerala) and plundered the town of Vizhinjam, Kollam, Kodungallur etc which itself shows that the land of Kerala was known as the Parashurama Kshetra (i.e creation of parashurama) among even the non-keralites in history.
:
The ancient European travelers of the 1st and 2nd century C.E have referred to the geographical region of North India or the land between Himalaya mountains and Vindhya mountains as 'Ariaca' after the Sanskrit word 'Aryaka' (i.e Aryadesha) whereas they referred to the geographical region of Kerala (i.e Keralaputhra) as 'Damirica' after the Sanskrit word 'Dramidaka' (i.e Dramidadesha) meaning the southernmost region of Bharata (i.e Indian subcontinent) hence the Oldest literary works and inscriptions of Kerala itself refers to the geographical region of Kerala as 'Dramida' in which the city of Mahodayapuram (i.e Makkothayarpattanam in Old Malayalam) or Thiruvanchikulam (i.e Srianjanakhalam in Sanskrit) or Muyirikodu (muziris) in Old Malayalam as situated on the banks of the river Periyar (i.e Mahanadhi, Choorni etc in Sanskrit) was the capital of the Kerala king titled as 'Keraladhinatha' in Sanskrit or 'Cherabhumishvara' in Malayalam (i.e Keralabhasha).
:
For Example: "Keralaanaam dramida shabdhavaachythvaad apabhramshena tadbhaasha tamizh ithyuchyathe" - Lilathilakam - Meaning - "The language of Kerala is known as Tamizh in the vernacular through the phonetic modification of the word Dramida."
:
The term 'Tamizhakam' in the Tamil grammar Tolkapiyam itself is the transliteration of 'Dramidaka' in Sanskrit and not denoting a single culture or language or kingdom or history but a common geographical region as consisting of KL and TN thereby the author has recognised 12 regional dialects in which 5 dialects are pertaining to Kerala and 7 dialects are pertaining to Tamil Nadu just as the Tamil grammar Nannul of the 13th century hence the Kerala records have also differentiated the language of Dramida (i.e Tamizh) into Pandyabhasha (pandi language), Cholabhasha (chola language) and Keralabhasha (malayalam language) in history.
:
The inscriptions of Kerala as dated between the 9th century C.E and 12th Century C.E is referred to as 'Old Malayalam' by linguists because the inscriptions of Kerala as dated between the 13th century C.E and 16th century C.E shows linguistic continuity with minimal differences hence it is termed as 'Middle Malayalam' by linguists.Malayalam language (i.e Keralabhasha) is just as old and classical as any other Dravidian languages including Tamil hence the phonology and vocabulary of Keralites to this very day are found in the Oldest mythological literary works and inscriptions of Tamil Nadu (ex. njan, njandu, thudangi, pettu, aliyan, achan etc) as the grammatical principles of Malayalam language (i.e Keralabhasha) was contrasting from the ‘Tamizh’ of the inhabitants of Tamil Nadu due to the phonological and morphological differences between the regional languages of the East and West of the Ghats mountain ranges since known history. (Ex. Njan in Malayalam is Nan in Tamil)
:
The terms 'Tamizh, Naazhi, Pazham, Pavizham, Makizham etc' in Old Malayalam are all derived from the Sanskrit words 'Dramida, Naadi, Phala, Pravala, Makula etc' as such phonetic modifications or transliterations of Sanskrit words are present in all the Dravidian languages since known literary history and similarly, the terms 'Ketala, Choda, Pada' etc in the Ashoka Edicts of the 3rd Century B.C in Prakrit language are the transliterations of the Sanskrit word 'Kerala, Chola, Pandya' etc as attested by all linguists today.
:
The terms Cherakon (i.e Keralakularaaja in Sanskrit), Kunnalakon (i.e Shailabdhishvara in Sanskrit), Valluvakon (i.e Vallabhakshoni in Sanskrit), Piraamanar (i.e Brahmana in Sanskrit) etc as found in Old Malayalam and Middle Malayalam inscriptions and literary works are NOT denoting the people of Tamil Nadu or 'Tamilans' irrespective of caste referred to as a 'Pandi, Chola, Konga, Thonda' in all of known Indian history but the people of Kerala referred to as 'Keralar' and 'Malayalar' alone in Indian history.
:
For Example:
The kings of Kerala were referred to as 'Malayala Thiruvadi' in the inscription of South India as dated to the 13th Century C.E while the kings of Tamil Nadu were referred to as Pandya and Chola in the same inscription of the Kakatiya Dynasty of South India because the people of Tamil Nadu now known as 'Tamilans' were referred to as a 'Pandi, Chola, Konga, Thonda' in all of known Indian history including Kerala literary works until the 14th Century C.E while the people of Kerala including the Kings were referred to as 'Keralar' and 'Malayalar' alone in Indian history.
:
The region of modern Tamil Nadu as consisting of dharmapuri, salem, coimbatore etc as comprising of an earlier independent territorial unit known as ‘Kongu-Nadu’ were under their local chieftains referred to as 'Adiya or Adiyaman' until the 12th Century C.E in Indian history whereas it is the land of Kerala as comprising of the independent territorial unit known as ‘Malayalam’ or 'Malabar' who were under the local chieftains referred to as ‘Chera or Cheraman’ until the 12th century C.E in Indian history and thereafter.
:
The Dravidian languages of Malayalam, Tamil, Tulu, Kannada, Telugu etc including the Tribal Languages (ex. Irula, Kurumba etc) as consisting of common/similar words are all emerging from a Proto-Dravidian language meaning an undocumented common spoken language in pre-history as attested by all linguists today hence there are places with common names in Kerala and Tamil Nadu even today (ex. Thondi, Musiri etc) thus it doesn't mean that the places of Kerala or 'Keralaputhra' referred to as Tyndis, Muziris etc by the travelers in the past were referring to the settlement of the people of Tamil Nadu or ‘Tamilans’ referred to as a 'Pandi, Chola, Konga, Thonda' in all of known Indian history including Kerala literary works until the 14th Century C.E but the people of Kerala referred to as ‘Keralar' and 'Malayalar' alone in Indian history.
Im a tulu living here in kochi. Nice too see more people recognizing the history of muziris.
It’s an amazing history that deserves to be shared more!

You derserve more views bro, beautiful video❤, love from Kerala 🫂
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
From reading about Muziris in books to actually able to see excavation site itself... You definitely cover places which depicts rich cultural history of our subcontinent. The storytelling, inclusion of experts and cinematography just adds cherry on the cake.
Siddharth.
You are doing a wonderful job of reawakening in the minds of the young and also your peers, showing so many wonderful places in India. Your Hindu pride is infectious and it inspires us. Even me, an 85 year old settled in the US from 1965, probably before you were born. Carry on, beta, your great work. Blessings and love.
Thank you so much! I take pride in absolutely everything Indian, and I'm so happy that I'm able to generate curiosity and love for our incredible past among fellow Indians too :)
Muziris is now Kodungaloor. The Cheran king who travelled to Mecca and became a Muslim, build the first mosque here. Named as Cheramman Juma Masjid or Cheramman Masjid. The famous Kodungaloor Bhagavathi/Devi temple and Shiva temple are also near.

Rubbish!
Sir, There are places with common names in Kerala and Tamil Nadu even today (Ex. Thondi, Musiri, Vanchi etc) thus it doesn't mean that the places of Kerala or 'Keralaputhra' (i.e Kaelobothras, Keprobothras etc in Greek) referred to as 'Tyndis, Muziris etc' by the ancient Polytheistic European travelers were referring to the settlement of the people of Tamil Nadu (i.e Pandi-Nadu, Chola-Nadu etc) in Indian history.
The Earliest extant Kerala literary works refers to Kerala as the Crown of Bharata (i.e Indian subcontinent) in which the Keralites from Kolavishaya (Kolathunadu) to Velavishaya (Venadu) as conducting trade among the Foreign Traders from abroad and south India referred to as Cheenas (Chinese), Yonakas (Middle-Easterners), Thulukkas (Turkish), Kannadas (Karnata), Chozhiyas (Chola), Pandiyas (Pandya) etc in the marketplace of the prominent cities of the Kerala-Country (i.e Malayalam, Malanadu, Malamandalam etc) referred to as 'Kaelobothras, Malabar etc' by the Foreign Travelers since the 1st Century C.E or as 'Kerala in the various literary works of ancient India.
For Example: Raghuvamsha - Kalidasa - 5th Century C.E - "....Kerala yoshitham alakeshu... - meaning - "the locks of curled hair of the Kerala women
Him turning Muslim is fake
Fake story
Good job,you have done a great history research for this video.I think comparing to other countries we are least bothered about preserving our rich past history.Best wishes from Germany (kerala)
You are right - we unfortunately don’t spend enough to discover and conserve our past. Archeology especially needs a lot of time and investment. I hope it changes and we can learn a lot more about our past 🤗
Thank you for this BEAUTIFUL & INFORMATIVE Upload ❤👍

Sir, The 1st century and 2nd century European travelers specifically refers to the capital of 'Keralaputhra' in Sanskrit (i.e Kaelobothras, Keprobothras etc in Greek) as situated 20 stadia (3 km) inland from the sea-coast or in present day Kerala in which the port city of 'Muziris' (i.e Kodungallur) on the banks of the river 'Pseudostomus' (i.e Periyar river) as situated therefore it was also referred to as 'Jangli, Shinkali, Gingaleh etc' by the Foreign Travelers since the 10th Century C.E after the native Malayalam word 'Changalazhi' as denoting the Estuary at Kodungallur hence the Earliest extant Kerala literary works itself refers to the port city of 'Kodungallur' (i.e Muziris in Greek) on the banks of the river Periyar (i.e Pseudostomus in Greek) as the 'Nripapuri' (i.e Capital) of the Kerala king titled as 'Keraladhinatha, Keraladhishvara etc' in Sanskrit (i.e Keralaputhra) in Kerala history
For Example:
Kerala is not only the country, but also the Kshathriya-king inhabiting the country" - Vaarthika of Kaathyayana pre-3rd Century B.C
The Periyar river and its tributaries in Malayalam was known as 'Mahanadhi, Choorni, Marudhvritha, Nau (chalakkudi river) etc' in Sanskrit and the royal family of Mahodayapuram (i.e Makkothayar-Pattanam in Malayalam) titled as belonging to the 'Keralakula' (i.e Kerala-Dynasty) was known as 'Bahuvyapthi' meaning 'having great expansion' (i.e Perum-Padarppu in Malayalam) in the Sanskrit works of Kerala until the 14th Century C.E among which the port-town of Kochi (i.e Gosrinagara in Sanskrit) referred to as 'Cocym' by the Foreign Travelers since the 15th Century C.E was the property of the 'Elaya Thavazhi' referred to as 'Narayana Varma, Govindha Varma, Rama Varma etc' until the 15th Century C.E or since Pre-Portuguese Period in Kerala (Malabar) history.
The term 'Keshavan, Kashu, Ashudham etc' in Malayalam are also written as 'Keyavan, Kayu, Ayitham etc' in the inscriptions and similarly, the term 'Muyirikodu' in the inscription is to be read as 'Mushirikodu'. (I.e Muziris in Greek) aka 'Changalazhi' in Malayalam until the 14th Century C.E (i.e Jangli, Shinkali, Gingaleh etc)
There is an agreement known as 'Muziris-Papyrus' from the 2nd Century C.E which documents the trade agreement between Muziris (i.e Kodungallur) and Alexandria and simialrly, the port-cities of Kerala were at the height of its prosperity with trade relations from all over the world since the 1st Century C.E to the medieval period of Indian history.
For Example:
“Among all the places in the world I have seen none equal to the Port of Alexandria except Kawlam (Kollam in Kerala) and Calicut (Kozhikodu in Kerala) in India” - Ibn Battuta (14th century C.E)
There were no Kshathriya kings in Kerala.
Please don't support the dishonest historians sir. The Kings of Kerala are referred to as 'Kerala, Keralaputhra, Keraladhinatha, Keralakularaja, Keralavarma etc' in all of known Indian history including Kerala literary works. The south Indian invaders from Tamil Nadu, Karnataka etc have referred to the Kerala (Malabar) kings as 'Sera, Serala, Chera, Cherama etc' in their Dravidian languages and as 'Kerala' in Sanskrit until the 12th century C.E in Indian history as it is the Malayali kings alone in the historical accounts of Kerala since the 9th Century C.E as consisting of the chieftain Kolathiri of Kolathunadu, Kurumpiyathiri of Kurumpranadu, Eralathiri of Eranadu, Vellathiri of Valluvanadu, Onathiri of Odanadu, Venathiri of Venadu etc who were the rulers of Kerala (Malabar) until the 18th Century C.E in Kerala history.
For Example:
The invaders from Tamil Nadu such as the Chola king in his Sanskrit inscription has stated that "he had crossed the sahya mountains (western ghats) and destroyed the Kerala king and his country (Kerala) protected by the chief of the Brigus (i.e Lord Parashurama - Ex. "Jithva Kerala Bhupathim Brigupatheschithva Thapo Rakshitham Prithvim") which itself shows that the land of Kerala was known as the Parashurama Kshetra (i.e creation of parashurama) among even the non-keralites in history.
The port-cities and towns of Kerala (i.e Keralaputhra in Sanskrit) such as 'Tyndis, Kalaikarias, Bramagara etc' including 'Muziris' up to Komari (i.e Kanyakumari in Sanskrit) as mentioned by the Foreign travelers cannot be satisfactorily identified with current names in Kerala unlike the Indian cities as mentioned by the Foreign travelers such as 'Modura (Madurai) in Tamil Nadu (i.e Madhura in Sanskrit), or Souppara (Sopara) in Maharashtra (i.e Surparaka in Sanskrit), or Barygaza (Bharuch) in Gujarat (i.e Bhrigukaccha in Sanskrit) etc' but that doesn't mean that a catastrophic event had destroyed Kerala ports and reshaped Kerala geography in the past unlike elsewhere in India.
Dear Joseph, the Greeks call Kerala as KeraBotra from Kerala Putra even before birth of Jesus. If Brahmins or Sanskrit didn't reach Kerala then how come Greeks, Romans and Egyptians refer Kerala as Kera Putra? Putra means son in Sanskrit and Kera is definitely Sanskrit word for Coconut, the whole Dravidian propaganda failed thanks to Greeks and Periplus @@josephs4044

Sir, The term 'Makkothai, Vanchi, Musiri, Karuvur, Kodunkolur etc' in the local Tamil Nadu literary works and inscriptions until the 12th Century C.E are denoting the Capital of the Kerala (Malabar) Kings titled as 'Keralendra, Keraladhiraja etc' known as 'Mahodayapuram or Thiruvanchikulam or Kodungallur' etc in the Kerala literary works and inscriptions until the 14th Century C.E.
The Kupaka royal family of Kerala (Malabar) titled as 'Keraladeshapunyaparinama, Keralakshmapathindra' etc in Kerala (Malabar) history as comprising of Venadu aka Jayasimhanadu, Trippappur aka Attingal, Chirava aka Chirayinkeezhil, Thiruvankur aka Thiruvithankur etc were several Matrilineal branches as related to one and another by inter-adoptation, marriage etc in Kerala (Malabar) history hence the Invaders from Tamil Nadu such as the 'Pandi king and Chola king' in their own inscriptions until the 12th Century C.E have referred to 'Kollam, Vizhinjam, Kottar etc' including Munchira in Kanyakumari district as belonging to the Kerala (Malabar) kings titled as 'Kupakar, Seralar etc' in Indian history.
The Vrishni branch of Yadava kings or Kupakas, the southernmost lunar-dynasty (somakshathriya) of Kerala and the Haihaya branch of Yadava kings or Mushakas, the northernmost lunar-dynasty (somakshathriya) of Kerala as found in the historical accounts and in the literary works of Kerala are fabricated to be the successors of the various unhistorical hill-chieftains of the local Tamil Nadu mythology (i e Sangam Literatures) by pseudo-historians (Ex. Kari, the unhistorical chieftain of Kollimalai (namakkal district) in Tamil Nadu or Pari, the unhistorical chieftain of Parampumalai (sivaganga district) in Tamil Nadu etc) and similarly, it is only a traditional mythological history of Tamil Nadu (Ex. Purananuru) in which the Vedic sage Agasthya Muni is believed to have brought various Velirs including Ay-Vel from Dwaraka (i.e thuvarai in tamil) to the various hills of Tamil Nadu including Pothiyilmalai (tirunelveli district) and not part of Kerala history
The Ayar or the 'Aioi tribe' as mentioned by the Greek traveler Ptolemy as situated south of 'Kerobothras' (Keralaputhra) in the 2nd century C.E were an agro-pastoral community of Kerala whereas the Kareioi (Karaiyar tribe) and Battoi (Vedar tribe) as mentioned by Ptolemy as situated East of Komari (Kanyakumari) are the fishing and hunting community of Tamil Nadu and not a separate Kingdom.

You are doing wonderful job bhai 🤍
Thanks so much Arjun ❤️❤️
Very nicely done video; a small correction though - the flood was recorded in 1341, and not 1431 like you had mentioned. Just mentioning for factual corrections. Do keep up the good work. Cheers from Kerala!
Thanks so much for the correction - I checked my notes and realised that I made the error while recording the voiceover. Unfortunately I can’t change the voiceover now but have added a correction in the video 🙌

TIGER LEOPARD ELEPHENT i saw everything. After watching your video, I got inspired to upload my video. Guys do leave your CRITICISM. I would love to hear what you think.
👍
Interesting story. Maybe Muziris just moved location. In 1341 Muziris location was lost but the spice trade did not end. 1605 the Dutch and Portuguese resumed the trade for spices. The Dutch East India company became one of the richest companies in the world because of the spice trade. Some people say that the Dutch East India company was the richest company to ever have existed on the earth with a valuation of $7.4 trillion (as an equivalent in today's money). Pepper, cloves, vanilla, cardamom, turmeric, nutmeg and other spices from Kerala were still desired by the Europeans. These spices helped preserve food and add taste to food. My guess is that the early towns near Kochi and the Periyar river replaced ancient Muziris.

You should have visited Kodungallur .. where the Muziris town situated
I did pass through, but couldn’t shoot in the town due to limited time. I had to pick where to shoot and so did it at the excavation site…
🎉
Thank you! ☺️
Its my place......❤and im living there
That’s wonderful!
😂😂😂

The word "Pattanam" in Malayalam means a Metropolitan city.
Thanks for sharing!
Holy land of Kerala was created by lord Parashuram himself. And this കൊടുങ്ങല്ലൂർ Kodungallur is a port city from that time onwards.
Is Sir, Dr. Cherian, an anthropologist?
Unfortunately I don’t know that…
Kerala has its own language, dance, martial arts, food, medicine, spice, heritage, climate and ofcourse people 😂
So?
Indeed 👍
I think musiris is in tamil nadu. Probably Tuticorin side. Also Tondis near it. Muchiri means broken lip. It's only a doubt. Where the seaside is seen as a broken lip. Nauru seems to be Kannur where nooru or calcium carbonate trade. It's also a doubt. Somebody has to do research.😊
You aren’t right with the assessment here. We find references of Muziris in Tamil literature because Tamil was then the language of the entire Tamilgam region - Malayalam wasn’t yet developed. A LOT of research has been done and all scholars have agreed that Muziris is in Kerala.
Puducherry has another and even more famous port - Arikamedu on the East coast and I’ll be sharing a video on that soon as well.
@@SiddharthaJoshiFilms it's just a doubt. But Kerala was always a rain affected region. Also cranganore or kodundungallur is also ancient. May be I am not right. Thanks for the comment
😂
Kabhi suna bharat ke bitarith hai. EXAMPLE TIBETAN ,JWLEWSW KOREA ETC.
There's a fake story spreading by it cells that last chera king converted to islam because he saw moon splitting in dream
Last chera perumal was shiva devotee and went to kailasa
Chera descendants are kochin raja they are Suryavansh kshtriya
Paliath achan is prine minister of this Cochin kingdom
Now there are few it cells that been saying paliath family also converted to islam
Same fake story they spread in malaysia too, of its hindu kings mysteriously 'converting'..
खोज परिणाम घोषित किए जा सकते हो लेकिन
All go this is published work 🙌
nothing Name Out of muziris excavation.vəhy cherians jacobs so interested.
A LOT came out of the excavations. It's a huge project and Kerala Tourism has developed an entire trail in the region on the same. The findings in Pattanam are some of the most important ones from ancient India.
@@SiddharthaJoshiFilms were looking for st. thomas skeleton
@@suchithraraghavan5335 Who was looking for St Thomas's skeleton? My video is clearly not about St Thomas or his skeleton and is simply a celebration of an important historical port of India. There's ample published literature on this which you can read online.
@@SiddharthaJoshiFilms siddhuji I didn't target u.u don't know the mindset of these people. I am frm kerala
St. Thomas coming to kerala is a lie
Muzriz was not the part of India at that time. It was an independent kingdom. There were another kingdoms existed like thiruvithamkoor, kochi, malabar....And budhism came in kerala from srilanka.... Not northern India.
@@Rajmohan-nh4ic whether it is kochi, travancore all are now part of modern day india. So They are definetly included in history of india.
I stay in North Paravoor which is where the Muzaris remains have been found. We are part of India😊
@@kumaraanu i said that time they were not joined in Indian union. They were independent kingdoms at that time. After the British invasion they became part of Indian union.
@@manojpoduval7962 I said about ancient time. Not about your life time 😀
There was no India or Bharath at that time.
Good narrative of Muzris and I happen to be living now in that glorious lost city.
Thank you so much! 🙏🙏❤️❤️
How's it didn't occur to you when you talk about such a historic places you should include map of it. I pity you improve your knowledge on presentation. It is 50% hollow. Pardon me for being so harsh.Because I lost enjoying.
Thanks for the feedback - it’s a good one 👍
Jai Shree ram Har har modi 🙏

@@SiddharthaJoshiFilms only he can save us
muziris❌ (Anglicised name)
mahodayapuram✔️ (real name)
Built by our chera empire king💛⚔️
My understanding is that it was known as Muchchiri Patnam in Tamil Sangam literature. Mahodayapuram is a much later city with both built by the Cheras even though the exact relationship between these two Chera dynasties (ancient and the medieval one) isn’t so known well.
Pls do share some references on this - I would love to learn more 👍
True, Mahodayapuram came later and mostly south of Muziris though close by. The Muziris is western name for local name- Murichipattanam which is also called as Makkottai.
Soo much secularism destroyed kerala s culture of sanatani now a hub of terrorism in many forms.
Video is good but feel sorry for kerala
That’s a very harsh thing to say and perhaps someone from Kerala can respond to this and add their insights. In my experience though, the diversity of Kerala has also been its strength.
No point responding to andhbhakts - the real tukde tukde anti-nationals.
@@Abubabaji22 we have our own eyes and brains to understand the narration.
@@nanditachoudhury4979 okay speak about the things you seen with own eyes and brains lol
As a person from kerala yeah we are losing our culture day by day
Wow I love history and sadly no one mentioned about lost cities of ancient india ,,also I'm from Punjab and nearby my village there is one ancient sight like hill in between fields ,,,and it's not hilly area even nearby hills r 100 to 150 km away,,,,,and people find many ancient artifacts tbt. But no one from gov or asi did any research,,,,,,
Wow! That sounds like an archeological mound…it’s sad no one’s excavated there. There might history if our civilisation buried there…can be a Harappa site as well…
@@SiddharthaJoshiFilms that's true ,,,Sadly people ain't understand historical facts and now people just merging it in their fields ,,, By the way if ever have plan to visit Amritsar, then let me know I'll pick you and don't spend anything on hotels ,,I have farm house in my village , you can stay as long you want and I'm sure it will be better than hotels ,,,
@@jimmyaulakh8247 thank you so much! I have to visit Punjab again - hopefully I’ll do it in the coming winter months. Amritsar and Patiala are my top cities to cover there first 🙌
