A lot of people in here learning about Barlowe for the first time today, might be good to mention that, not only does he paint these badass paintings, he is also a successful author himself
@vimodkr@MeluhhakangZ Just temple names that too in later era. Port cities and capitals were always two distinct power regions for Tamil Kings. Muzuri of Cheras, Pandians had Korkai which was even famous than Muzuri among Romans & Greeks. Cholas had Poombukar. Port cities are never capitals.
@MeluhhakangZ Interestingly no a single inscriptions mentioned Kodungallur as Vanji in ancient times. Their claims maybe due to the influence and settlement of medieval Cheras. Notice by this time Ay dynasty also ended gradually around 12th century AD. So maybe they needed to build Kodungallur
@MeluhhakangZ Karur (also known as Vanchi, Vanchi Muthur) was the capital of real early Chera dynasty from 3rd century BC to 5th century AD. After that they lost majority of their power in heartland of Tamilagam getting reduced to a small coastal power while "Ay dynasty" was Pandian relatives.
People saying pacific rim almost had them fighting demons are missing out on the artist (Wayne Barlow) own rendition of hell itself, which is even more wicked.

Known for its alien-like landscape, roughly 95% of land snails, 90% of reptiles, and 37% of plant species are found nowhere else.
Bhrami is not origin or Indian scripts. It is one of the script per Buddhist & Jain puranic sources aswell. Tamili has its origin in south. Tamili scripts from Adhichanallur, Sivakalai & Keezhadi all dating older as 600-1000 BC, from various sites. Update your pp presentations.
@vettrrius My bad it's seems multiple papers of Iravdham sir's works had been accepted. Yet they've placed it on proto or early Tamizh Epigraphy. We should refer to his books ands works. Still there's no direct evolution of script found in north or in TN. Still oldest Tamili is Tamilagam.
@vettrrius I've also seen the IVC fish symbol with in Pandian empire coin. Scholars like iravadham Mahavadevan been working on it. Still a peer reviewed paper yet not released or accepted. Hindians won't accept it. Atleast we got older evidence for Tamili script.
