Have archaeologists found India’s lost port of Muziris? – BBC News


The mystery of India’s lost port of Muziris has captivated archaeologists for decades.

Once at the heart of one of the world’s most influential trading routes, and hailed by Roman author Pliney the Elder as ‘the first emporium of India’, Muziris was known for its rich selection of spices, gems, ivory and silk.

However, in the 14th Century, the port disappeared without a trace – its location seemingly wiped from the map.

Today, there is still fierce debate over Muziris’ true location, but could new archaeological evidence finally provide an answer?
