This Wealthy Indian Port Traded With Rome… Then Vanished #theforgottenpast #history #facts

More than 2,000 years ago, ancient ships sailed across the Arabian Sea to reach the coast of Kerala, India. They were bound for Muziris — a legendary commercial hub documented in classical Greco-Roman texts and Tamil Sangam literature. Ancient merchants traded gold, wine, and glass for Malabar black pepper, fine pearls, and silk. Then, sometime in late antiquity, Muziris vanished from historical records. Whether lost to devastating floods along the Periyar River, buried under centuries of silt, or gradually abandoned, the exact heart of this ancient metropolis remains one of archaeology’s great ongoing investigations.
