The dawn of Age of Discovery. Why and how the age of exploration started? India was always the goal, the final destination of treasures. Were the Europeans able to arrive at their destination? How hard was it for them? This story outlines the exploration of Phoenicians, the earliest known explorers and their way of exploring the mighty oceans. The Queen of Egypt sent an expedition to the sacred land of Punt. Was Punt India? May be, say some historians. Excavation of Roman coins at Arikkamedu, TamilNadu strongly supports the trade ties between the two mighty nations - India and Rome which is also outlined in many of our Sangam literature.
