how could there possibly be Chilis in the Early Dravidian empire and King Solomon's time when Chilis come from South America, originally, are not indegenous to africa, and the new world not discovered til 1492? this makes no sense. If this were possible, then chilis would have had cultivars flourishing in Africa and I would assume then Europe long before Spain's conquest, and there is nothing to indicate that. I think Dr C Hromnik is smoking his chili's in a pipe rather than eating them!
