In ancient times, Somali merchants traded spices to the powers of the Mediterranean sea. However, these spices weren’t native to these lands. So... where did they come from?

nope I mean it's amazing how they managed to survive for so long, but there were periods and interregnums where the Tamil kingdoms were conquered. Cholas (300s BCE-1279 CE) 1. Early Cholas - 300s BCE - 300 CE 2. Interregnum - 300s CE - 848 CE (All of the Tamil lands and kingdoms conquered by the Kalabhras, Buddhist warrior tribes) 3. Imperial Cholas - 848 CE - 1070 CE (Cholas at the peak of their power) 4. Later Cholas - 1070 CE - 1279 CE (Defeated by the Pandya Kingdom and territories lost to them, end of the Chola dynasty) Pandyas ( 500s BCE - 1334 CE) 1. Early Pandyas - 500s BCE - 300s CE 2. Interregnum - 300s BCE - 590 CE (Kalabhras again) 3. Pandya revival - 590 CE - 985 CE 4. Interregnum - 985 CE - 1216 CE (conquered by the Cholas) 5. Second Pandya revival - 1216 CE - 1310 CE 6. Pandyan civil war and collapse - 1310 CE - 1334 CE (Vira Pandya and Sundara Pandya fight a civil war over the throne, this weakens the dynasty and the state begins to fragment, with various vassals and feudatories declaring independence, the final blow is struck by raids and invasions carried out by the Delhi Sultanate, whatever remained of the Pandyas was conquered by the Vijayangara empire.)
