before Christ or possibly earlier
◉ The cities mentioned in Sangam Litreature were
true
◉ Could there be 3 Madurais? Was Kheezadi the

◉ It is believed that Jains and Buddhists bought it
south and introduced it to write Tamil.
36
41. Was Brahmi really invented in North
India?
◉ Most number of Brahmi inscriptions found are in
Tamil and spread geographically in South India
and Northern Sri Lanka.
◉ Earliest dated Tamil Brahmi inscription found in
Sri Lanka in 3rd century vs earliest Ashokan
Brahmi is 2 century
◉ Porunthal excavations have established
authoritatively that Tamil Brahmi/Tamili existed in
5th century BCE by carbon dating.
41
42. What can these ancient civilisations
teach us about society?
◉ What kind of people could have lived there ?
◉ If pots were inscribed who could have done
them?
◉ Who could have been the most educated ?
◉ Who could have been the most influential and
powerfull person in town?
◉ What does Sangam Literature talk about
