Muziris
Muziris ( grc, Μουζιρίς, Old Malayalam: ''Muciri'' or ''Muciripattanam'' possibly identical with the medieval ''Muyirikode'') was an ancient harbour and an urban centre on the Malabar Coast. Muziris found mention in the ''Periplus of the Erythraean Sea'', the bardic Tamil poems and a number of classical sources."Archaeologist calls for excavations at Kodungalloor". ''The Hindu'' adras 5 August 2011. Web/ref>"KCHR asked to hand over Pattanam excavation". ''ibnlive.in.com'' CNN-IBN, 16 November 2011. Web/ref> Etymology The derivation of the name "Muziris" is said to be from the native Dravidian languages, Dravidian name of the port, "Muciri" (Tamil: முசிறி, Malayalam: മുചിറി). In the region, Periyar river perhaps branched into two like a cleft lip (an abnormal facial development) and thus gave it the name "Muciri.", again a speculation. It is frequently referred to as ''Muciri'' in Sangam poems, ''Muracippattanam'' in the Sanskrit epic ''Ram ...

Tyndis
Tyndis ( grc, Τύνδις) was an ancient Indian seaport/harbor-town mentioned in the Graeco-Roman writings. According to the ''Periplus of the Erythraean Sea,'' Tyndis was located north of port Muziris in the country of the Cerobothra (present-day Kerala).Gurukkal, R., & Whittaker, D. (2001). In search of Muziris. ''Journal of Roman Archaeology,'' ''14'', 334-350. Previously, Tyndis was attributed to Thondi, a region ruled by the Pandya country in present day Tamil Nadu. Alternatively, the Cheras of the early historical period (c. second century BCE - c. third century CE) are known to have had their original centre at Karur in interior Tamil Nadu and harbours at Muziris and Tyndis on the Malabar coast (Kerala). Tyndis was a satellite feeding port to Muziris, according to the Periplus. It was a major center of trade, next only to Muziris, between the Cheras and the Roman Empire.Coastal Histories: Society and Ecology in Pre-modern India, Yogesh Sharma, Primus Books 2010 Pliny ...

Kingdom Of Valluvanad
Valluvanad was an independent chiefdom in present-day central Kerala that held power from the early 12th century to the end of the 18th century. Prior to that, and since the late 10th century, Valluvanad existed as an autonomous chiefdom within the kingdom of the Chera Perumals.Ganesh, K. N. (2009). Historical Geography of Natu in South India with Special Reference to Kerala. Indian Historical Review, 36(1), 3–21. The disintegration of the Chera Perumal kingdom in early 12th century led to the independence of the various autonomous chiefdoms of the kingdom, Valluvanad being one of them. The earliest mention of the term "Valluvanad" as a political entity, from the 9th and early 10th century, are references to a region within the Ay kingdom in the south Kerala, then a vassal to the Pandya kingdom. It is possible that the new chiefdom in central Kerala (within the kingdom of the Chera Perumals) derives its origin from this eponymous subdivision in south Kerala. Valluvanad was rule ...
