When the first man-made rope-sewn wooden boats laid anchor along the coast of Kerala, the scene that met the eyes of those early sailors must have been breathtaking. Cloaked in thick jungles holding the promise of pepper, myrrh, gold, ivory, and countless treasures, blue mountains loomed in the distance, brooding over the coast, their peaks disappearing into clouds and their feet into water-logged marshes. Along the shores, a part of the mountains strained to the very edge of the water, foamy waves lashing against granite cliffs formed during an ancient age when all land had been one enormous supercontinent. Who were these sailors that planted their king’s scepter and staked their claim to the wild marshes of Kerala? Which ancient civilization did they belong to, that they forged a connection so deep and pervasive, it withstood the onslaught of more than four thousand years? In what cultural relics did they leave their mysterious traces?
