Syro -Malabar church conducts seminar  on Muziris as excavations make  progress at  Pattanam

P.J..Cherian’s associates K.P.Shajan and V.Selva Kumar  have been actively involved with Pattanam excavations .They presented papers  at  the Research Seminar  on November 2005 organised by the  LRC (Liturgical Research Centre) at  Mount St’ Thomas in Kochi     Shajan presented his paper on -Pattanam as the First Indo-Roman Trading Centre on the Malabar Coast. Selva Kumar’s paper  was -Archaeological Findings about Muziris. The church as an institution has never taken interest in archaeological  excavations and historical research. Much before the  Pattanam  excavations were  launched in 2006  by Kchr, the seminar was organized  to  give the impression that Pattanam  is ancient Muziris where St’Thomas landed.
