The EFEO Paris seminar is on Monday 24th April (from 11h to 12.30). Valérie Gillet (EFEO) speaks on "La période obscure (the Dark Period) du pays tamoul entre les IIe et VIe siècles de note ère : mythe ou réalité ?"

In this seminar we shall be focusing on the concept of the "dark ages" in Tamil Nadu between the 3rd and 6th centuries CE which seems to have been introduced in the writings of the celebrated historian K.A. Nilakantha Shastri in the first quarter of the 20th century and which has been adopted by many of his successors. The conquest of the whole Tamil land by the brutal Kalabhra dynasty in the 3rd century would have been responsible for the descent of a dark age, identified as such on the basis of the relative absence of archaeological and textual documents. We shall initially survey the archaeological and literary material concerning the Tamil land in the 8th century CE in an attempt to understand and contextualise the apparent lack of information about the period we are interested in, and then we shall analyse documents that mention the Kalabhras in order to evaluate the validity of the theory of their three centuries long reign. This approach allows us to consider the processes of historiographic construction of big ideas that sometimes prove to be deeply rooted myths.

The news of the death of S. EX. Samdech Vibol Panha Sok An, Deputy-Prime Minister deeply affects all the teacher-researchers and all the personnel of the École française d'Extrême-Orient, especially those working in Cambodia.
The knowledge he had of our institution and of its members, the interest he always took in our work in his position of Minister of the Counci of Ministers previously, and then even more so in that of President of the APSARA authority, were for us the most precious encouragement. Each one of us will remember Monsieur Sok An as a tireless worker whose understanding of conservation and of scientific research was exceptional.
The Director, Yves Goudineau, has offered in the name of the École his condolences to the Ambassador of Cambodia to France, His Excellency Chem Widhya, and to Monsieur Sum Map, Director General of the APSARA.
The EFEO Centre of Siem Reap has sent flowers to the APSARA.
