I am glad to meet you again. First of all I thank you for yours esteemed support on my postings since. I know most of my writings were about the politics and social events whether these would be good or not. However, my passionate is in historical phenomenon, and I would like to give proudly more attention on this subject. I hope my readers will patronage this, as in earlier.
Tamilnadu has stood first of all the states in India, in excavated the historical sculptures, stone, pottery wares and palm expedient. Thus, a pottery ware which is early historic related on the first century AD was unearthed on the banks of a small pond at Karulannathar Temple at Madhagam nerar Avudaiyarkovil in the Pudukottai District. Thanks to the Prof. Mr. Chandrabose, Mannar Arts and Science College, Pudukottai for enlighten this significant pottery ware , which is bringing home the bacon of the Tamil culture.
He said that this ancient pottery ware measured as 12 cm long and in 8 cm breadth and consider as well as in the first century (AD) We could read the two Tamil words Kathir Am were engraved on it. The first word ‘Kathir’ refers the Sun and this the Tamil word purely mentioned in the Sangam Literatures, like Manimegalai, Silappathigaaram, Agananooru, Kalithogai, Kurunthogai,Natrinai and Purananooru. The second word ‘Am’ should be standing in the name of a person else an adnominal.
The President of the Thanjai Tamil University also acknowledged the researcher’s interpretations of the Tamil word as ‘Kadhir Am’ and it also refers the noun, a name of a person.
The unearthed pottery scripts from the Kodumanal,Azhagankulam, Andipatti villages all mentioned the individual names only. So, we are in certain that this Tamil Brhami scripts pottery wares of Madhagam village also mentioned an individual name. Tamil Brhami stone scripts were unearthed from the caves of the Kudumiyanmalai, Sithanavasal and Porpanaikotai in the Pdukotai district. But, this is the first incident where the pottery wares unearthed these places. Thus, this is a significant research, and the Madhagam also consider one of the Sangam era villages, he added.
