Ancient Heritage of Tamils
V.G. Ramachandran
We have evidence that the ancient Cholas discovered South America
long before Columbus did and that the Inca Sun Worshippers of Peru
are none but the descendants of "our Chola ancestors" (vide
Neelakanta Sastri-History of S. India and M. Monohan's "Chola's in
America 1976" – pp11-20). The Incas had their Temple of the Sun God
(Peru) much like the one in Konarak in Orissa built by the Cholas.
The Chola chieftains (Incas) of America styled themselves
as "Raghuvamsa Manickam". This shows that they belonged to the
Raghuvamsa of Sri Rama whose ancestor Sibi Chakravarthi is well
described in ancient Tamil literature as the Chola king Sembian. This
takes us to a very relevant inference that the ancestors of Dasaratha
are as much the ancestors of the Tamils. One other ancestor of Sri
Rama, Musu Kunthan, is none other than the Musu Kuntha Chola in
ancient Tamil history. This Musu Kunthan's reighn was during the
second Tamil Sangam age 4800-2800 BC.
