The history of Sri Lanka dates back many thousands of years to the 4th century BC, when there is evidence of a thriving civilisation in the ancient city of Anuradhapura. This was followed by the arrival of a Sinhalese prince who married one of the locals but later began to bring women from South India for the men in his kingdom to marry. The prince, who had many wives, also married one of these women.
