Buddha 500 BC.
Eastern greek ambassador
Megasthanez has written about MADURAI, its queen , sister of krishna.
Accords perfectly with the sangam tamizh tradition of kaali,seyon and mayon.
mayon
Arthasastra also mentions about pearls of pandyans and sandal. Chandragupta time.
.
Mahavamsam says vijaya and his soldiers came to ceylon at the time of Buddha
500 BC.

According to K.A.Neelakanta sastry, there are ancient (vael)Spear and
(seval )cock items proved to be of 1000 BC, by carbon dating,

It was the time of king solomon in palestine..1000 BC
Palestinian and christian ideas and people could have come to tuticorin area contemporaneously, with palestine events,
Nazareth town is so close to aazhvarthirunagari.
.
In a way, the thamravarni culture may precede vaigai.
Hence, there has been trade
From palestine through the redsea after land through the gaza strip.
The only reliable evidence is sangam poetry.
One poem in purananooru explicitly associates tamizh language with pandyans only.
Another poem explicitly
Says that pandyans are descendents of paandavas i mahabaratham.
Chera, chozha and pandya all were residents of rajasthan, yamuna, punjab.

Panipet..kurukshetra.
.
Ettuth thokai
That itself is an anthology.
There is reference to kaanap paer eyil (big fort in forest)
Present day kaalaiyar koil.
I think ramnad, sivagangai districts may give a lot of information about sangam era. Kaanap paer eyil was then ruled by vaengai maarban.
.
Some individual works within Ettuthokai are attributed to specific poets or compilers. For example,
Ainkurunuru is attributed to Gudalur Kilar.
Kalittogai is attributed to Nallantuvanar.
Akananuru is said to have been compiled by Rudrasarman.
