HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY IN INDIA : M. M. NINAN The World according to the Greeks One such route was the spice route connecting Malabar Coast to Yemen, Egypt and to rest of Europe. In A.D. 45 Hippalus discovered the monsoon winds in the <strong>Indian</strong> Ocean and this discovery reduced the time of transit to less than forty days. It was this route that St.Thomas took.

HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY IN INDIA : M. M. NINAN Trade in Early India, Oxford University Press says the following on page 66: "Thanks to a graphic description left behind by Pliny, historians are able to trace the development of the sea-route to the west coast of India in four-stages. The most developed route, which was also the shortest and safest, began from the Red Sea port of Myos Hormos and /or Berenice and reached the famous Malabar port of Muziris (Muciri of the Tamil Sangam texts) in forty days by following the Hippalus (i.e. the south-western monsoon) wind. Pliny states that the earliest point of maritime contacts between India and the West was Patalene in the Indus delta; the subsequent point was the port of Barbaricum on the middle mouth of the Indus. The third stage made Sigerius or Jaigarh on the Konkan coast the convenient harbour and finally, Muziris became the most important port of call." Essentially by the time Pliny wrote things down Muziris was well established as a major port of call for Roman shipping. Note that the term Roman refers in general to the peoples ruled by the Romans - which included portions of Arabia and regions around the Mediterranean - i.e. present day Palestine/Israel, Armenia and Africa. Parthians and the Lost Tribes of Israel The Parthian Empire (247 BC – 224 AD), also known as the Arsacid Empire was a major Iranian political and cultural power in ancient Persia. Its latter name comes from Arsaces I of Parthia who, as leader of the Parni tribe, founded it in the mid-3rd century BC when he conquered the Parthia region. The Parthian empire was essentially ruled and populated by the innumerable members of the tribes of Israel who were scattered all over the area. "Dawid’s descendants of the House of Phares were ruling over separate groups of the ten tribes of Israel from the Caucasus Mountains to the territory of modern India. Also, many kings of Parthia itself had names indicating that they were also royal members of the Dawidic line of Judah. Such names include the key consonants of PH-R-S in Hellenized forms of their Parthian names (such Parthian royal names as Phraates, Phraortes, and Phraataces are examples). Over the centuries Yehowah kept his promise to Dawid by causing Dawid’s descendants to rule over many Israelite nations in Asia. How did Dawid’s descendants (from the defunct kingdom of Judah) ever come to rule over the descendants of the ten tribes in Asia? While Yehowah can easily intervene in world affairs to keep his 9
