Because of our inability to understand we dismiss the Sangam period as a figment of imagination and the number of years it lasted , the number of Kings who patronised. The Sangam period is assigned between 400 BC to 500 AD, that too the the Third and Last Sangam. The earlier two Sangams are dismissed as legends!
Tag: Date of Tamil Sangam
The third Sangam lasted for 1850 years. Agastya 5000 BC First Sangam-5000 -4400= 600 BC Second Sangam-600-3700=3100 AD. * For a language to develop and to attain highly complex Grammar and Classical Literature the language should have evolved at least 1000 years earlier. ** These dates agree with the dates of Ramayana. So Tamil language should have been used at least by 4000BC
