Original sentence: 16,000 BC: Lemuria submerged.1780 BC: The Third Tamil Sangam established by a Pandya king.19th and 20th century Tamil revivalist movements, however, came to apply the name to the territories described in Adiyarkkunallar's commentary to the Silappadhikaram.20,000 BC: A lost Tamil culture of the Easter Island which had an advanced civilisation.200,000 to 100,000 BC: beginnings of the Tamil language.200,000 to 50,000 BC: evolution of "the Tamilian or Homo Dravida",.3031 BC: A Chera prince in his wanderings in the Solomon Islands saw wild sugarcane and started cultivation in Present Tamil nadu.50,000 BC: Kumari Kandam civilisation.6087 BC: Second Tamil Sangam established by a Pandya king.7th century BC: Tolkappiyam (the earliest known extant Tamil grammar).Adiyarkkunallar, a 12th-century commentator on the epic, explains this reference by saying that there was once a land to the south of the present-day Kanyakumari, which stretched for 700 kavatam from the Pahruli river in the north to the Kumari river in the south.All these lands, he says, together with the many-mountained land that began with KumariKollam, with forests and habitations, were submerged by the sea.Ancient Tamil literature is the source of Tamil deities like Murugan and Kortravai.As the modern equivalent of a kavatam is unknown, estimates of the size of the lost land vary from  to  in length, to others suggesting a total area of 6–7,000 square miles, or smaller still an area of just a few villages.In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Tamil nationalists came to identify Kumari Kandam with Lemuria, a "lost continent" posited in the 19th century to account for discontinuities in biogeography.In these accounts, Kumari Kandam became the "cradle of civilization",  the origin of human languages in general and the Tamil language in particular.It is said to have been located in the Indian Ocean, to the south of present-day Kanyakumari district at the southern tip of India.Kartikeya (, ), also known as Skanda, Kumara, Murugan and Subrahmanya, is the Hindu god of war.Kumari Kandam Tamil:குமரிக்கண்டம், Kumarikkaṇṭam) is the name of a supposed sunken landmass referred to in existing ancient Tamil literature.Kumari Kandam appeared in the episodes "The King of Kumari Kandam" and "The Atlas Pin" of The Secret Saturdays.Mathivanan, then Chief Editor of the Tamil Etymological Dictionary Project of the Government of Tamil Nadu, in 1991 claimed to have deciphered the still undeciphered Indus script as Tamil, following the methodology recommended by his teacher Devaneya Pavanar, presenting the following timeline (cited after Mahadevan 2002):.None of these texts name the land "Kumari Kandam" or "Kumarinadu", as is common today.Perumal () also Thirumal () is the Hindu deity most popular amongst Tamils of Tamil Nadu state in India and in the Tamil diaspora.Ramaswamy discusses particularly how cultures process the experience of loss.Sumathi Ramaswamy's book, The Lost Land of Lemuria: Fabulous Geographies, Catastrophic Histories (2004) is a theoretically sophisticated study of the Lemuria legends that widens the discussion beyond previous treatments, looking at Lemuria narratives from nineteenth-century Victorian-era science to Euro-American occultism, colonial, and post colonial India.Tamil mythology means the stories and sacred narratives belonging to the Tamil people.The Silappadhikaram, one of the Five Great Epics of Tamil Literature written in first few centuries CE, states that the "cruel sea" took the Pandiyan land that lay between the rivers Pahruli and the mountainous banks of the Kumari, to replace which the Pandiyan king conquered lands belonging to the Chola and Chera kings (Maturaikkandam, verses 17-22).The Tamil literature in parallel with the Sanskrit literature formed a major source of information on Hindu culture.The ancient Tamil epics forms the source of various historical figures in Hindu scripture like Agastya, Iravan, Patanjali etc.The only similar pre-modern reference is to a "Kumari Kandam" (written குமரிகண்டம், rather than குமரிக்கண்டம் as the land is called in modern Tamil), which is named in the medieval Tamil text Kantapuranam either as being one of the nine continents, or one of the nine divisions of India and the only region not to be inhabited by barbarians.There are also references to the rivers Pahruli and Kumari, that are said to have flowed in a now-submerged land.There are scattered references in Sangam literature, such as Kalittokai 104, to how the sea took the land of the Pandiyan kings, upon which they conquered new lands to replace those they had lost.These ideas gained notability in Tamil academic literature over the first decades of the 20th century, and were popularized by the Tanittamil Iyakkam, notably by self-taught Dravidologist Devaneya Pavanar, who held that all languages on earth were merely corrupted Tamil dialects.These sangams may have overlapped in parallel to the third historic sangam; the second century BCE Tissamaharama Tamil Brahmi inscription detailing the thiraLi muRi (written agreement of the assembly) was excavated a few miles from the coast of the historic Tenavaram temple, Matara, Sri Lanka.They also associated this territory with the references in the Tamil Sangams, and said that the fabled cities of southern Madurai (Ten Madurai) and Kapatapuram where the first two Sangams were said to be held were located on Kumari Kandam.This body of mythology is a mix of elements from the Tamil culture, Dravidian culture and Indus Valley cultures along with the Hindu religious aspects.This land was divided into 49 nadu, or territories, which he names as seven coconut territories (elutenga natu), seven Madurai territories (elumaturai natu), seven old sandy territories (elumunpalai natu), seven new sandy territories (elupinpalai natu), seven mountain territories (elukunra natu), seven eastern coastal territories (elukunakarai natu) and seven dwarf-palm territories (elukurumpanai natu).This version is a city on the back of a giant sea serpent with its inhabitants all fish people.Two of these Nadus or territories were supposedly parts of present-day Kollam and Kanyakumari districts
