A sound and light show takes you back to 3rd century BC and explores the early beginnings.

Even prior to the Portuguese Kerala had liaisons across the Arabian Sea with major Red Sea ports and Mediterranean ports as well as ports in the Far East. The spice trade between Kerala and much of the world was key to the world economy and ports in Kerala were the busiest trade and travel routes in the history of the world.
