Senior epigraphist\u00a0Y. Subbarayalu\u00a0explained, \u201cThrough the writings of Ptolemy and Pliny, we know that the Romans came to India for trade. But it was not clear whether it was one-way or two-way. This new evidence gives proof of two-way trade that happened during the Roman period.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 16px; color: #242424; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe UI Midlevel', sans-serif; font-size: 17px; background-color: #f7f7f7;\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">The inscriptions correlate with recent excavations at Berenike, where archaeologists from Tamil Nadu joined Polish researchers last year and found similar Tamil-Brahmi inscriptions on pottery. Professor Schmid observed that among more than 2,000 Greek graffiti marks left by visitors from across the Mediterranean world at the Valley of Kings, \u201cnone of them came as far as Indian traders.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"intra-article-module\" style=\"position: relative;

The name of a Tamil merchant named \u2018Sikai Kottan\u2019 found 8 times in 5 different pyramids reminds us of how deeply the footprint of the Tamils was imprinted on the world trade map. These are another testament to the fact that the Tamil civilization was a progressive civilization that crossed the seas to Egypt during the Roman period and implemented the globalization we speak of today thousands of years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-slot\" style=\"color: #242424; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe UI Midlevel', sans-serif; font-size: 17px; background-color: #f7f7f7;\">\n<div class=\"article-social-slot\" style=\"display: flex; justify-content: center;\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\" style=\"display: flex; max-width: 550px; width: 550px; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" style=\"position: static; visibility: visible; width: 550px; height: 1603px; display: block; flex-grow: 1;\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=2021844775260057715&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.news9live.com%2Fstate%2Ftamil-nadu%2F2000-year-old-tamil-brahmi-inscriptions-found-in-egyptian-pyramids-rewriting-ancient-maritime-history-2931980&amp;sessionId=c5820a01093a354458d20afb9ff6833e9682ce35&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"2021844775260057715\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 16px; color: #242424; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe UI Midlevel', sans-serif; font-size: 17px; background-color: #f7f7f7;\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 16px; color: #242424; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe UI Midlevel', sans-serif; font-size: 17px; background-color: #f7f7f7;\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\"><strong>Global Implications<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 16px; color: #242424; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe UI Midlevel', sans-serif; font-size: 17px; background-color: #f7f7f7;\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">Professor K.
