Tholkappiyam, Ettuthogai, and Patthupattu are some of the literary sources to reconstruct the history of ancient Tamizhagam.
The ancient Tamils had great respect for the heroes who died on the battlefield.
The hero stones were created to commemorate heroes who sacrificed their lives in war. These hero stones were known as Natukkal or Virakkal.

Periapuranam, Seevakachinthamani, and Kundalakesi were written during the Kalabhra
In the Sangam Society, there were learned and wise women.
Forty women poets had lived
Marriage was a matter of choice.
Chastity (Karpu) was considered the highest virtue.
In their Parents’ property sons and daughters had equal shares.
The other worshipped gods were Sivan, Mayon (Vishnu), Indiran, Varunan and Kotravai.
The Hero stone (natukkal) worship was in practice
Buddhism and Jainism also co-existed.
As it did in northern India caste did not develop in Tamizhagam.
Varuna system came to the Dravidian south comparatively late.
KarikalValavan or Karikalan was the most famous of the Chola kings.
He defeated the combined army of the Cheras, Pandyas and the eleven Velir Chieftains who supported them at Venni, a small village in the Thanjavur region.
He converted forests into cultivable lands.
He built Kallanai across the river Kaveri to develop agriculture.
Their port Puhar attracted merchants from various regions of the Indian Ocean.
The Pattinapaalai a poetic work in the pathinenkeezhkanakku gives elaborate information of the trading activity during the rule of Karikalan.
Following the Sangam period, the Kalabhras had occupied Tamil Country for about two and half centuries.
There is evidence of their rule in literary texts.
The literary sources for this period include Tamil Navalar Charithai, Yapemkalam and Periapuranam.
Seevakachinthamani and Kundalakesi were also written during this period.
In Tamizhagam, Jainism and Buddhism became prominent during this period
Introduction of Sanskrit and Prakrit languages had resulted in the development of a new script called Vattezhuththu.
Many works under Pathinenkeezhkanakku were composed.
Trade and commerce continued to flourish during this period.
So the Kalabhra period is not a dark age, as it is portrayed.
