Chola

Exploration

Cornering all manner of trade and the transportation of religious people across the Indian Ocean, the Chola oversaw a vast network of merchants and naval vessels that brought Indic texts and traditions along with spices, ivory, ebony, and other trade goods. Their dominion extended at times to vassals across the sea, in Southeast Asia. But danger came from home, as neighboring kingdoms drove them into obscurity.
