There are various references to several naval expeditions sent by the rulers of V and VI Dynasties of Egypt, to the distant and mysterious land of “Punt”. This reference to “Punt” is identified as Punnata by some scholars. The Greek geographer Ptolemy (90 A.D. to 168 A.D.) had called it “Pounnata”. An inscription of 300 A.D. said that the kingdom of Punnata was adorned by rivers Kaveri and Kapini. Punnata rulers had matrimonial relations with Kadambas and Gangas. All these evidences indicate the antiquity of Punnata.. புன்னாடு கொங்கு நாடு ஒரு பகுதியாக இருந்துவந்தது. பின்னர் புன்னாட்டு அரசனுக்கு ஆண் வாரிசு இல்லாமல், இளவரசியை கங்க மன்னனுக்கு மணமுடித்து கொடுத்ததோடு [https://archive.org/details/coorginscription01riceuoft In the 5th century the Ganga king Avinita married the Punnad Raja's daughter, and the province thus came to be annexed to Ganga vadi under their son Durvvinita], It is further mentioned in the 2nd century A.D., by Ptolemy as Pounnata, ' where is beryl.

Another inscription of the same period records a gift of land to Lord Avinasilingam by the same person98. The Umattur chieftains seem to have ruled over the Kongu country from 1446 to 1520 A.D. more or less peacefully rebuilding ruined temples and rehabilitating ruined towns. They seem to have also evinced considerable interest in agriculture, irrigation and trade and by all this, did much to repair the damage done by the Muslim rule.
