புறநானூற்றின் வழி பழந்தமிழரின் தொழில்முறையும் அளவையியல் சிந்தனையும் / A Puranaanooru Perspective of Profession and Art of Measurement in the Times of Ancient Tamil People

Abstract

The ancient Tamil people used to practice nature-based industry. The Tamils took up the occupation which was connected with their life. It can be known that the Tamils were technical minded in all fields such as business methods, soil related studies, engineering, metrology and physics. The Tamils lived by dividing the land into five parts. They lived and worked according to the land they lived in. When we look back at the pages of history of two thousand and five hundred years of Tamil, we can see that Tamils have advanced knowledge. Ancient Tamil literature eloquently exemplifies that the ancient Tamil was the one who realized himself and measured his ideals. Even in the era of no education, poets have gone beyond the sky to sing and record about cosmic mediums. The business method and quantitative thinking of Tamils are being investigated through the evidences found in “Purananooru”.
