Forget old tamil. I doubt they can even understand early medieval tamil of AlvArs and nAyanmArs At any rate, tamil's claim to continuity is forced and is largely due to its self-imposed diglossia Spoken tamil is far more sanskritized (like its dravidian cousins - telugu and kannada) than the formal tamil register. Formal tamil deliberately uses an unwieldy register to claim "continuity" E.g. No tamil person (regardless of caste) would prefer "magizchi" over "santosham". Yet formal tamil prefers the former. Now because of these choices in the formal register, it feels as though tamil has greater continuity from times of deep antiquity. It is no doubt true that in Sangam literature, words like magizhchi or muyarchi are more likely to be encountered than santosham or prayatnam. But the man on the street prefers sanskrit words! Pray tell me is there any tamil person who prefers "innal" over "kashTam" or "samasyai". This isn't a caste thing as often portrayed. On a slightly different note : Even the phonetic world inhabited by tamils has suffered with the pure-tamil movement, given the death of grantham script and the imposition of the "limited" tamil script. Ordinary tamils did make the pa-ba, ta-da distinctions more easily in the old days than they do now.

The average person is so stupid that they will say "haha you have a cheap car, that means you are creepy and dangerous" and then turn right around and say "this obviously different species from the other side of the planet that actually rolls around in shit all day should move in next door to me in unlimited numbers because we are all the same"

Pagan goddess cults who worship a creative essence embodied as a female statue were still extremely patriarchal. Goddesses were not human women, and human women not goddesses. In India particularly normal women were to attain piety by literally worshipping their husbands.
