The Lost City of Muziris | How Did This Mysterious Ancient Indian City Disappear?
Muziris, or Muchchiri Patnam as it was known locally, was once one of India's most important port town which traded with the mighty Roman Empire with the black gold, pepper. After hundreds of glorious years, the port city Muziris disappeared without leaving any trace. Or did it?
Join me today as I learn more about our illustrious past, and find the answer to the question - is Muziris lost forever, or have the recent excavations helped us identify the exact place where the city existed?

Corrections:
1. The floods took place in 1341 CE and not 1431 CE as I mentioned in the video. That's an error from my side.
2. Portuguese reached India in late 15th Century
