Keezhadi Excavation Findings

Will you believe me if I say, whatever the history we studied long back in our schools is going to change completely..?

Yes. You read it right. Continue to read further.

It is from the recently released initial set of findings from the Keezhadi excavations which is going to rewrite the entire civilization history, which we all have been taught of. And, for those who don't know, Keezhadi is a small village around the borders of Madurai district near the banks of vaigai river.

We all have been told that the oldest human civilisation has developed from the areas of north western parts of India surrounding the Indus valley.

But do we know that the recently released findings of keezhadi dates back to the same period of Indus valley civilisation?? Yes. The findings show many linkages which connects to the oldest claimed Indus valley civilisation.

And the next big revelation is the usage of Tamil brahmi during these periods which further dates back the existence of Tamil language making it the oldest language. (Note: Till now, only Sanskrit has been mentioned as the oldest language in our syllabus and not Tamil)

There are other findings as well relating to the type of vessels, ornaments, living types etc..

The findings have been under rated to the core by both the media's and people.

The reason behind this article is not to purely dwell upon the dominance of the Tamil language or civilisation. But to know our roots rather than longing why no Tamil movie is sent as India's entry for Oscars.

We know that we have been deprived from the pride that our roots deserve but at least let's make our future generation to know these things and that can only happen when we start speaking about this in social media's rather than debating only upon movie reviews and reality shows.

'Indus valley civilisation is the oldest human civilisation', we read.

Atleast, Let our future generations read, Vaigai valley civilisation is the oldest human civilisation!!
