But in an extraordinary effort, 50 countries collaborated to relocate the monuments. That sparked the creation of UNESCO's World Heritage Convention, which now protects over 1200 heritage properties across the world. Follow our work on social media...

I can see everybody is asking for evidence. For everybody's kind information...it is already evidented come to keezhadi excavation site and musium. Whole Tamilnadu and south india temples are standing as a document. Don't be in a dilemma or live with false idea for rest of your of life come to south and know the carbon dating and advance technical used by tamils 2500+ years back morever 80% of artifacts found in indian subcontinent is in inscription "Tamil". Back dated Sanskrit inscriptions are considerably very less as per ASI. Stop arguing whole world knows this fact.
I think it is a cultural thing. To the British, beards, earrings, tattoos and headgear were sartorial issues subject to secular regulation. To most populations of the Subcontinent they were not.
Remember, these sites are in southeastern part of India, technically there must be older settlements in southwestern part of India. I am sure there was one huge civilization from north to south in the western part of India.

False stories about king Mahabali written by cunning Brahmins. Mahabali was a Buddhist king, Brahmins killed him by treachery. Lord Vishnu and Indra are imaginary. Brahmins defamed all Buddhist king by writing false stories. Their fake news factory is running for 2500 years

Sri vikrama rajasighe wanetd the prime ministers wife but she says no.. and when after knowing the minister was against him at a time when he was very drunk he ordered to execute the ministers whole family infront of the tooth temple.. it was one of the brutal executions of the time and because of this the sinhalese people too against him.. when british arrived sinhalese people captured him abd gave him to the british for good.. To this day the place where he was captured is marked since then..

If humans originated in Africa three lakhs years ago in Africa, then they must have migrated to every river valleys after one lakh years, that is 2 lakhs years ago from now. So human habitation is seen today even in remote islands (perhaps once all were connected ). I think it is mostly true for all river valleys in India.

how did we ruin the country? huh only Hindus and Muslims are constantly fighting over everything, we are not even involved anywhere except Kerala and Tamil Nadu?
It's not thamil pirami. It is Nagari. The oldest people now called tamil are not tamil. They are nagas. Lord shiwa muruga karuppasamy - Krishna are nagas saints.. The first cultural creaters of the world. Human relationship mother father ungle anty etc. and transformed hunting to farming.
Thrilled to hear ❤️.
10:38 what do you mean by 'what was the writing system between 1500-600 AD' Vedic literatures were produced and Vedic sanskrit was prevalent. It was after Asoka adopted Buddhism that the use of Sanskrit declined.
Here the argument appears a bit stretched.Has the dating of brick structure been done?Has it been conclusively proved that the brick structure was part of an earlier "temple"? TN enthusiasts have the tendencies to push back their history in time as much as possible.The notion of Sangham literature is one among them.
Its not brami word ,it should be called s tamili word change it or delete the video
Thank you.I knew about Kalugu malai(for wrong reason)but not this wonderful piece of art.Is there some resemblance to the Buddhist style of stupa sculpture here?

The Real story is Kandy Kingdom is founded by Tamil Agambadiyar (Agamudayar) caste .Singhala 15th century literature explains that Kandy kings founded by Tamil Agambadiyar caste who belongs to Solar Race of Cholar kings family. Explained this details with records in the below video ruclips.net/video/-xHMJK4x9Sg/видео.htmlsi=iIMjF2c0BdGXzkrG&t=4220
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Not only Kandy Kingdom but Gampola Dyanasty was also ruled by Tamil Kings his name is Jayawira who originated from Tamil Agambadiyar caste of Chola country. You can find the Singhalese literature reference for the same (Please view the video in the above link ) and you can find more more details and confirm this truth by yourself. ruclips.net/video/-xHMJK4x9Sg/видео.html

What a fabulous video, I am really enjoying your amazing content. Would it be possible for you to do a similar video on the great Chola Temples, using your amazing structure and presentation please ? Thank you.
What a fabulous video. I often wondered about these questions specially about the link between Brahmi script found on Ashokas pillars all over India and the language spoken during his time. Your awesome video cleared that doubt.
As a Sri Lankan the last 4 kings of Sri Lanka were Telugu not Tamil. They were called wadiga in Sinhala. Wadiga rata (Telugu country) was the ancient term used in Sinhala exclusively for the land of Telugu people .
Majority of Sinhala politicians are telegus Sinhalese. They hide thier telegu identity and pose as Sinhalese. 600 years ago Vijaya nagara Nickers invaded srilanka and Tamil Nadu under the advice of jews who are the enemies of Tamil race from Ravaneeyam period ...7500 years. It is these telegu Sinhalese ( Rajbhaksha) who conducted genocide of Tamils in srilanka. India ruled by vested interests helped him. Here in Tamil Nadu too the telegus rule under Dravidam banner... Dravidam is the root cause of destruction of Tamil identity and history and language. ruclips.net/video/Cy-B_ip21Lo/видео.html&si=ChcXYW_V_IhJCbCR Tamil is mother of languages including Sanskrit and English. This fact iritates vested interests so they use Telugu Sinhalese to bring Sinhala only. In Tamil nadu yesterday born Hindi and dead Sanskrit are imposed. Telegus are the dedicated agents of jews. From Tamil Nadu India.
Ganges plain was not even tamed till 1000 bc. And there was no remnants of vedic civilization in ganga plains. Vedic people comes from Zoroastrian kingdom of Asia, europe, china and Africa. They occupied sindh Punjab and afghanistan defeating may be ancient phallu worshippers (shaiva?) Zoroastrian king darayus III was defeated by Alexander. Do not stretch "vaidik story" to eternity
😂 uneducated flat earth believer.
This sounds like the dynamic of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and the meroitic script. I see resonance in how the regional histories of scripts unfolded.
if sinhalese didnt gave the kingship to a south indian person like him, it will never fall in to british , what finally happened sinhalese willingly gave the country away to british thanks to this alcoholic useless king who ma$$ cred loyal sinhalese commander and his whole family , the king was manipulated by another ''nilame'' person btw
Ranipet & Gingee are close by, but not the same as the latter is in a different district.
Very interesting video especially the bhakti movement
A fww interesting points, but largely shallow piecemeal research following European style in India with no feel for native culture, history and languages. Reference frame is European - confused outsider looking in - not Indian indiser looking up. What script was kadmiri oanchaang written in 5k to 6k years ago, for instance? How does it relate to other scripts in the country?

Thank you!
Its Tamili, Damili not Brahmi😂

What does it matter how many languages he could speak? He was what his ancestors were, which was Telugu. Is it so difficult to identify him as belonging to a lineage of Telugu rulers who ruled major portions of Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka during this period?
Whats the connection between Draupadi and Durga?? This is how history of Tamils are destroyed
Telugus ruled from Gujarat to Srilanka!
Which telugu dynasty?
@@xavier9476 Hoysalas, Rastrakutas, most famous is Immandi Pulikesi.
Not even in dreams.
@@devsen71 Everything you said is Kannada dynasty not telugu... only telugu have nayak history, rather than nothing is there.
According to magulam it was miisunderstood as tamil brahmi deerived from brahhmi but according to keezhadi & theni nadukkal inscriptions were totally different from brahmi.and so it was mentioned as "tamizhi" which was unique on its origin.
It's important to emphasize that the king was not "from" Tamil Nadu. He, as with others in his lineage going back a few generations, were born in Sri Lanka. He was "from" Sri Lanka. His heritage, of course, was from Tamil Nadu. Sinhala and Tamil were spoken at the courts. The Nayaks of Kandy also supported Buddhism, perhaps in order to maintain the support of the people. There's a good book about this by John Holt called "The Religious World of Kirti Sri: Buddhist, Art, and Politics of Late Medieval Sri Lanka" (which was not about the last king). I say this because there are ethnonationalists on both sides (Sinhala and Tamil) and it's important to realize that identities are complicated and cannot be so easily reduced to being "from" a place where you were not actually born and did not grow up. Love this video and channel though, thanks.
Thanks for the long comment. It added value. Any other history channels/blogs/podcasts you follow?

Where did kandy nayakars come from.
The Nayak rulers played a huge role in reviving Buddhism in the island. They spoke Telugu and Tamil, and used Tamil as the court language in Kandy alongside Sinhala. Sri Vikrama Rajasinha was born in Madurai in 1780
First story is true, he fought against the Mughals bravely 🙏🙏🙏
Did st Thomas went to India?? As per my knowledge he had come to Kerala and Tamil Nadu but on those days both of these territories were not Indian colonies as it is now, both these territories were independent with sovereignty and not at all infiltrated with any Indian yoke. The claim to address Kerala and Tamil Nadu as just Indian colonies is not at all fair at least in Christendom Obviously Kerala is a prominent place which was evangelised by apostle but the great legacy of Kerala was downtrodden under Indian colonization
Thank god the Tamil hindus were kicked out... but the damage was done though..
