"Entire Kerala coast is Muziriz"-Say'sMuziris project DirectorP J Cheriyan

 
Cherian, however, still shies from admitting that the site is indeed Muziris or Muchiripattanam: 

This very interesting interpretation is to escape from the controversy related to the present identification Pattanam as the early port Muziris by Cheriyan and Team . Now we have to investigate Entire coast of kerala for locating Muziris.
Please wait for the next annoucements!!!!!

“Muziris could be one port or several. It could be the entire Kerala coast. It would require much deeper research and evidence to establish it.”

ഡൊ:ചെറിയാനും സംഘവും വളരെ കാലമായി പട്ടണമാണു മുസിരിസ് എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു ഉറപ്പിക്കാന്‍ നോ‍ക്കുന്നു.ഇതിനു തക്കതെളിവുകള്‍ ഇതുവരെ കിട്ടിയിട്ടുമില്ല.500 കോടി രൂപവരെ ടൂറിസം അടിസ്ത്ഥാനമാക്കിയുള്ള പുരാഖനനത്തിനു അവിടെ വേണ്ടി വരും എന്നാണു കണക്ക്.ഈ പശ്ചാത്തലത്തിലാണു വേണ്ടത്ത്ര തെളിവില്ലാതെ ലോകം മുഴുവനുള്ള മാദ്ധ്യമങ്ങളില്‍ മുസിരിസ് കണ്ടെത്തി എന്നു പ്രചരിപ്പിക്കുന്നത്.കണ്ടെത്തുന്നതു നല്ലതാണു.കേരളത്തിനു അഭിമാനിക്കാം.
ഈ വിധത്തിലുള്ള അടിസ്ത്ഥാനരഹിതമായ പ്രചരണമാണു എതിറ്ക്കപ്പെടുന്നതു. ഈ പശ്ച്ചാത്തലത്തിലാണു പി ജെ ചെറിയാന്റെ ഇപ്പോഴത്തെ പ്രസ്ത്താവനശ്രദ്ധിക്കേണ്ടതു.ഒരു കേരളതീരം മുഴുവനുമായിരിക്കാം മുസിരിസ് എന്നു ഒരു മുഴം നീട്ടി ഒരേറു.!!!പക്ഷേ ഇതൊരു പുരാവസ്ത്തുഗവേഷകന്‍ പറയു

 முழு கேரள கடற்கரையும் முசிரிஸ் "-சேயின் முசிரிஸ் திட்ட இயக்குநர் பி ஜே செரியன்

அக்டோபர் 8, 2011 சனி

"முழு கேரள கடற்கரையும் முசிரிஸ்" -சேயின் முசிரிஸ் திட்ட இயக்குநர் பி ஜே செரியன்

 இருப்பினும், இந்த தளம் உண்மையில் முசிரிஸ் அல்லது முச்சிரிப்பட்டணம் என்பதை ஒப்புக்கொள்வதில் இருந்து செரியன் வெட்கப்படுகிறார்:

இந்த மிகவும் சுவாரஸ்யமான விளக்கம், செரியன் மற்றும் குழுவினரின் ஆரம்ப துறைமுகமான முசிரிஸ் என தற்போதைய அடையாளம் பட்டனம் தொடர்பான சர்ச்சையிலிருந்து தப்பிப்பதாகும். முசிரிகளைக் கண்டுபிடிப்பதற்காக இப்போது கேரளாவின் முழு கடற்கரையையும் விசாரிக்க வேண்டும்.

அடுத்த அறிவிப்புகளுக்காக காத்திருங்கள் !!!!!

"முசிரிஸ் ஒரு துறைமுகம் அல்லது பல இருக்கலாம். அது முழு கேரள கடற்கரையாக இருக்கலாம். அதை நிறுவுவதற்கு மிகவும் ஆழமான ஆராய்ச்சி மற்றும் சான்றுகள் தேவைப்படும். ”22 -6-2011
