History of Sri Lanka/Ancient Sri Lanka

According to Mahavamsa (text of King Sri Bally in Sri Lanka), the traditional date of ancient Sri Lanka was the landing of Vijaya who came to Sri Lanka with 700 followers (because he was forbidden by Indian Vanga king). He ruled Sri Lanka from 543 BC - 505 BC (modern era: 38 years!). Vijaya played an important role in Sri Lanka, including the establishment of the Kingdom of Tambapani. Vijaya played an important role in the ancient history of the country.

Another annual date of ancient Sri Lanka is the arrival of Buddhism from the son of Devanampiya Tissa, the ancestor Mutasiva of Anuradhapura. Another source said that Buddhism was founded by a man named "Mahinda", but then it was integrated into Sinhara culture. Calligraphic materials show the emergence of Buddhism in the 3 rd century BC

The whole period of ancient Sri Lanka, including the ancient history of Sri Lanka, was governed by Anuradhapura Kingdom. The Kingdom of Sri Lanka moved to Anuradhapura in 380 BC. Since then, Anuradhapura has lived as the capital of Sri Lanka for more than 1000 years, until the collapse of the Kingdom of 1017 when Rajindra started a massive invasion. The capital moved to Polonnaruwa because it is a kingdom

After more than a century since Chola's rule, Polonnaruwa's Vijanyabahu I successfully expelled Chola Empire and reunited the country again. In addition, when I asked Vijayabahu to send a Sri Lankan monk to Myanmar, they also reunited the country of Buddhist culture. King Sinhalese 's Vijayabahu was a strong leader, but after his death, a weak ruler took over after he broke the powerful Chola Empire in Sri Lanka. After all, Sri Lanka invaded an independent country.

Nonetheless, in 1153, the King of the Sinhalese named PrākramabāhuI, also known as ParākramabāhuTheGreat, recombined Sri Lanka and repaired the irrigation system for Sri Lankan water. Prākramabāhu I also changed the location of Buddhism (made a new temple) and allowed Hindus to worship

In the 13th century, Sri Lanka was invaded by India. The irrigation system was destroyed and the capital of Srilonauwara was abandoned (1255). Sri Lanka was later divided into three regions. One for Tamils ​​(North; Jaffna) and two for Sinhalese (South and East; Kurt and Kandy)

Even today, agriculture plays a very important role in the Sri Lankan economy. In the past, Sri Lanka was called "Oriental granary" in the age of the ancient king like Parakramabahu the Great. At that time, the productivity of agriculture in Sri Lanka was of a very high level, mainly thanks to the traditional knowledge on irrigation and water conservation projects. This country is full of lakes and aisles made by ancient kings thousands of years ago, and even today even those benefit Sri Lankans.
