Continuing Mis-Identification of the Altai Culture

[Michael Kerr]

Hi Alanus, it must be the way I wrote my last post but the delgation that met Claudius were Chera traders from Kerala who were of Tamil origin. While they were in Rome they were probably asked about the mysterious Seres who produced silk & they must have described the people who they dealt with who they thought were Seres but who were not Chinese really but enterprising Indo-Iranians or Tocarians who traded Chinese silk for other goods as Chinese silk would have fetched a good profit on the Indian sub-continent.
