2000-Year-Old Arikamedu Secrets 😱 Lost Roman Port of Pondicherry | Tamil Travel Vlog

Welcome to Episode 6 of the Pondicherry Travel Series! 🇮🇳🌴
In this special vlog, we explore one of India’s most important but forgotten archaeological treasures — Arikamedu, the ancient Indo-Roman trading port near Pondicherry.

🏛️ What is Arikamedu?

Arikamedu is a 2000-year-old archaeological site where traders from Rome, Greece, and Southeast Asia visited India for beads, textiles, pottery, spices, and rare goods. Excavations revealed:

Roman Amphora jars

Arretine (Roman red polished pottery)

Ancient Tamil beads industry

Indo-Roman trade artefacts

Brick structures believed to be warehouses, factories & port buildings

Arikamedu stands as proof of how Tamilakam was already connected to the Western world long before modern trade routes existed!
