TALES FROM THE GRAVE – TWO XVIITH CENTURY TOMBSTONES OF DUTCH MERCHANTS FROM THE UNITED EAST INDIA’S COMPANY (VOC) – A REDISCOVERY IN NAGULAWANCHA (NAGELWANZEE), INDIA

 The discovery of two tombstones (Pl.2-3), during some road construction works occurring at Nagulawancha (Figure 1), by a local Heritage lover Mr. Matta Srinivas (Pl.1), on September 2019, and its mention by my colleague Dr. Sachin K. Tiwary was the flame that sparkle the interest on trying to decipher this almost 400-year-old mystery. Thru the interpretation of the Dutch writings on these two tombstones, we intend to share a glimpse on what was the VOC (United East India’s Company) role in India on the XVIIth century, and how were the daily lives of these two Company men, buried under these tombstones, the last reminders and memories of their passage on this Earth.
