- The Tamil Nadu State Department of Archaeology (TNSDA) has joined excavations at Berenike, an ancient port city on the Red Sea coast of Egypt.
- The objective is to identify evidence of ancient trade links between the Tamils and the Romans.
- Earlier excavations at Berenike in 1995 uncovered a potsherd bearing the Tamil-Brahmi text korrapuman.
- Other Red Sea sites, including Quseir al-Qadim, yielded Tamil-Brahmi-inscribed potsherds with texts like kanan and catan.
