பண்டைய நாளில் உலகில் மனிதன் வாழ்ந்திருந்தான் என்பதற்கான அடையாளமாகத் திகழ்பவை அவன் பயன்படுத்தி விட்டு சென்ற பொருட்களே ஆகும். குறிப்பாக பழங்கற்காலத்தில் அவர்கள் பயன்படுத்திவிட்டுச் சென்ற கல்லாயுதங்கள் மூலம் தொல்பழங்கற் காலத்தில் அவர்களது வாழ்க்கை முறையை அறியமுடிகிறது. இத்தகைய கற்கால மனிதர்கள் திருவள்ளூர் மாவட்டத்தில் வாழ்ந்திருந்தனர் என்பதற்கானத் தடயங்களான கருவிகள் அதிக அளவில் கிடைத்துள்ளன என்று தொல்லியல்த்துறை மேனாள் ஆணையர் (பொறுப்பு) முனைவர் சீ. வசந்தி கூறுகிறார்.

The statement of TN CM Thiru M K Stalin, welcoming the Madras Day celebrations, has come as a rude and painful shock to lovers of Tamil culture, history and followers of the Tamil movement in Chennai and other parts of TN. The statement goes against the traditional stand of the TN govt right from the Congress govts to that of the DMK and even the AIADMK to ignore the Madras Day as they always believed that Chennai and other parts of TN existed from well before Sangam era for over 2000 years
