[edit] Naga kingdom

The Northern part of the Indian-Ocean's Island throve during the Naga Kingdom from 6th century BC to the middle of the 3rd
century AD. Naga people were of the Tibeto-Burman origin, a Mongoloid race and migrated to India 4000 BC, driven by some
political disturbances from Central Asia through the North Eastern frontier of the Himalayan mountain range.

I would not say that the Nagas of Nagaland NE India, and the ancient Naga kingdom of Northern Lanka are the same group. If the Mon-Khmer of Nagaland Northeast India were in Northern Lanka, we would see that in the peoples features and language.

Let me say, When the Nagas came from India due to political crises, nobody was there, or did Nagas bild the civilization first? whay bout Yalpaam Nagsa? are they came from same??

The issue of the Nagas (mostly legend) is irrelevant to a write up about Killinochchi. There is no reference connecting Killinochchi to the Naga legends either in literary sources (Pali, Sanskrit or Chankam), or in inscriptions, potsherds or elsewhere. So, even if the Naga legends can have some basis, there is nothing to connect with Killinochchi. On the other hand, archaeological excavations have found buddhist ruins dated to the 1st century CE or before.Bodhi dhana 03:47, 29 September 2007 (UTC)Bodhi_dhana
