The Forgotten Dynasty Behind The Biggest Hoards Of India - Tapa blanda

The rulers of Chera, Chola and Pandya Kingdoms of South India were from the same family roots, and were brothers. They had a very great tradition from 10000 to 30000 of years. They were Chandors. They built their capital even in 2220 BC in Goa. Their language was Tamil. The first historian of the world, Herodotus points out that those people were known as the Panis who were later known to the world as the “Palm-Asians, and still later as the Phoenicians”. Those Panis (Panayan) were great merchant guilds sailing the seas to Greek, Ionia, Egypt, etc. They parted the art of writing to the foreign countries. Some Pharos of Egypt are known to be of these people. They had relations with the Hittites, Chaldeans etc. They were great warriors and sailors. Toddy taping was one of their professions in addition to hunting and trade. These ancient people were connected with Palmyra Palm and also with the Boddhi tree (tree of knowledge) of Saint Sri Buddha. Their identity and history is almost lost except in some Copper-plates, Inscriptions and the old Tamil literature. The Persian, Arabian and Western invasions to India have almost erased the history of these people. The last king of their tradition was abducted from his ancestral Palace in 1810 AD and was killed. The ancestral Palace gone to his descendants could not be claimed by his relatives in the newly developed political circumstances. History been marred and camouflaged. In the year 2011, a very huge Hoard of treasures were detected in a temple at Trivandrum. It contained many Crowns of the early kings of this dynasty. But, the mother Palace, Eraniyel, and the people behind it were sidelined by new social groups. This book, in addition to tracing out the original dynasty, its root and history, tries to feed new life to a neglected and ‘Forgotten Dynasty’ and people who were once the apostles of Culture and civilization in the world. The author supplies evidences from literature, traditions, a number of Copper plates, inscriptional and documental evidences to prove his arguments extending to several centuries ahead of this present age.
