It is an accepted but incorrect history that the Present day Tamil Nadu was inhabited by the three Dynasties of Tamil Kings, Chera ,Chola and Pandyas.
There is sufficient eveidence in the Epics,Ramayana and Mahabharata that the area of the Tamils as much more than the present Tamil Nadu.

While people give much credence to the names of kings mentioned in Tamil Sangam literature, the same attention has not been paid to the geographical description found therein.
Lets us take the description of the Five Divisions of Land according to Tholkappiyama nd other Grammatical works.
.
The land mass here the Tamils lived as divided and named into Five distinct geographical entities.
1.Kurinji-Hilly Terrain.
2.Mullai-Forests.
3.Marutham-Plains.
4.Neydal-Seashore and
5.Palai-Desert Region.
One can n find these five regions is the present Tamil Nadu as it is to-day.
The present conception of Lemuria or Kumari Kandam might explain this phenomena.
This was a large landmass that got submerged in, possibly a tsunami.
View. 1.
There was a mountain chain south of the Tamraparani River,which was an extension of the Wastern ghats.
It as submerged in the sea.
That as called the Malaya Parvatha and there are references to it in the Mahbharata and Ramayana.
There was a king called Malayathvaja, whose daughter as Meenakshi and legend has it that she married Lord Shiva.
That is now being called a Madurai , which is erroneous.
The Madurai here Malayathaja ruled as The Madurai(South Madurai) which submerged.
This continuation of the Western Ghats , Malaya Parvatha is called Sakatdvipa.
One Sarangathdja fought with Asathama, after Drona as killed, in the Mahabharata War.
There are refernces to the Pandyas being adorned with Sandalood paste obtained from the Malayamarutha.(Raja Suya Yaga, Mahabharata)
This Sakat Dvipa resembled the ears of a Hare and it as described as hanging from the Bharatavarsha(Mahabharrata).
This Malayaparvatham was reported South of Tamraparani,currently in Tirunelveli District.
Silappathikaram also mentions that the sandalwood paste as from the forests where the Western Ghats and the Malaya Parvata meet.

Sakatdvipa was 25,600,000 mile
The 49 lands
This land was divided into 49 Naadu, or territories (probably of the size of small districts) between Kumari river and Pahruli / Prahuli / Pakruli river. These are named as seven coconut territories (Ezhu Tenga Natu), seven Madurai territories (Ezhu Maturai Natu), seven old sandy territories (Ezhu Mun-palai Natu), seven new sandy territories (Ezhu Pin-palai Natu), seven mountain territories (Ezhu Kunra Natu), seven eastern coastal territories (Ezhu Kuna Karai Natu) and seven dwarf-palm territories (Ezhu Kurum Panai Natu). All these lands, together with the many-mountained land that began with Kumari-Kollam, with forests and habitations, were submerged by the sea.
Two of these submerged Nadus or territories of Kumari Kandam were supposedly parts of present-day Kollam and Kanyakumari districts.
The above description match perfectly with Kumari Kandam map developed using bathymetry studies since it shows the western extent of Kumari Kandam along the coast of Kerala where lies Kollam.
