History and Entertainment
In the prehistoric period, over two thousand years ago, the Maldives was mainly populated by the Dravidians. These are the people who came to the islands from the territories of present India and Sri Lanka. Little is known of the early history of the archipelago. The first written references to it date back to the middle of the 12th century. At that time, the archipelago was visited by the first Islamic preachers. Before their visits, the major islanders’ religion was Buddhism. In 1558, the Maldives saw the period of the active colonization, as they attracted Portuguese settlers.
