reveals that the islands have been populated for over 3,000 years ago. Early
settlers were travelers on the Silk Route and from the Indus Valley

A proud history and rich culture evolved from the first settlers who were from various parts of the world traveling the seas in ancient times.
The Maldives has been a melting pot of different cultures as people from different parts of the world came here and settled down. Some of
the local music and dance for instance resemble African influences, with hand beating of drums and songs in a language that is not known
to any but certainly represents that of East African countries. As one would expect there is a great South Asian influence in some of the
music and dancing and especially in the traditional food of the Maldivians. However many of the South Asian customs especially with
regard to women - for instance the Sub Continent’s tradition of secluding women from public view - are not tenets of life here. In fact women
play a major role in society - not surprising considering the fact men spend the whole day out at sea fishing. Many of the traditions are
strongly related to the seas and the fact that life is dependent on the seas around us
