Ancient graffiti in Egypt's Valley of the Kings has been discovered, proving the presence of Indian tourists over 2,000 years ago. The graffiti was found by French scholar Charlotte Schmid and Swiss Professor Ingo Strauch, claiming almost a third of the Indian language inscriptions found across various Egyptian tombs. The findings were published in a book titled "Tamil Epigraphy: A four-day international conference 2026, Proceedings Volume 1," and presented at the conference in Chennai, India. The researchers believe the discovery of these inscriptions is not new, as early Egyptologists did not know what language they'd been written in and were unable to translate them. They also found eight inscriptions in five different tombs and translated the text to mean “Cikai Korran came [here] and saw.”
