From Muziris to Kochi: two thousand years of trade, and the next chapter
Heritage
The world’s first venture deals sailed to this coast
In the first century, Muziris on the Kerala coast was one of the great ports of the ancient world. A second-century papyrus records a loan made in Alexandria to finance a voyage to Muziris: financiers backed the voyage, merchants carried the cargo, and both shared the profit.
Arab merchants kept close commercial ties with the Malabar Coast for centuries. In 1341 a great flood opened a new natural harbour: Kochi. Lightmount Collective continues that story from the same coast.
