In my introduction blog, I have already explained the purpose of finding the similarities between Tamil and Sumerian.
There existed a general practise of burying the dead in various civilisations. The same existed in the Vaigai River Civilisations as well.
The excavations of Perambair shows that the dead is burried in a big urn and there were few more pots near to the dead body containing various funeral things.
Following image shows the urn with few pots next to that at Perambair, Tamilnadu, India. Similar ones are in Keeladi and Adichanallur as well.
As mentioned in the previous blog, there were many artefacts hidden under the earth of the Vaigai civilisation. Some of the artefact samples were sent for carbon dating. It was found to be dated back to 600BC.
City named Ur was once prominent city of the Sumerian Civilisation. The burial urns found during the archeological study of Leonard Wolley in the year 1922 at Ur which is presently called Tell el-Myquyyar in South Iraq as given below represents similar urns from excavations done in Tamilnadu.
Isn't it similar?
The comparison between these findings will surely take the civilisation on the River Vaigai back to the same time as Sumerian 4500-1900BC instead of 600BC.
