- Muziris abstract "Muziris (in Greco-Roman sources) was an ancient seaport and urban center in south-western India that existed from around 1st century AD. Muziris has found mention in the bardic Tamil literature and a number of classical European historical sources.The port was a key to the trade between southern India and the Phoenicians, the Egyptians, the Greeks and the Roman Empire. The important known commodities exported from Muziris were spices (such as black pepper and malabathron), semi-precious stones (such as beryl), pearls, diamonds, sapphires, ivory, Chinese silk, Gangetic spikenard and tortoise shells. The Romans brought money (in gold coins), peridots, thin clothing, figured linens, multicoloured textiles, sulfide of antimony, copper, tin, lead, coral, raw glass, wine, realgar and orpiment. Location of coin hoards unearthed suggest an inland trade link from Muziris via the Palghat Gap and along the Kaveri Valley to the east coast of India. Though the Roman trade declined from the 5th century AD the former Muziris attracted the attention of other nationalities, particularly the Chinese, till the great floods of Periyar in the 14th century.The exact location of Muziris is still not known to historians and archaeologists. It is generally speculated to be situated around present day Cranganore, 18 miles north of Cochin. Cranganore in central Kerala figures prominently in the ancient history of southern India as a vibrant urban hub of the Chera rulers.A series of excavations were conducted at the village of Pattanam (near Cranganore) by the autonomous institution Kerala Council for Historical Research (outsourced by Kerala State Department of Archaeology) in 2006-07 and it was immediately announced that the lost port of Muziris was found. The rapid conclusion invited criticism from historians and archaeologists.".
