High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Ancient history of Sri Lanka begins with the gradual onset of historical records in the final centuries BC, ending the prehistoric period. A traditional date is the landing of Vijaya, a semi-legendary king who arrived in Sri Lanka with 700 followers, dated to 543 BC, the earliest historical event mentioned in the Mahavamsa chronicle and the founding myth of the Sinhalese people of Sri Lanka. The account of the Mahavamsa becomes historical from the 3rd century BC, with the arrival of Buddhism under Devanampiya Tissa of Sri Lanka. Epigraphic sources also appear with the presence of Buddhism, from about the 3rd century BC. The earliest historiographic litearature, such as the Mahavamsa, dates to the 6th century AD. The entire ancient period of Sri Lankan history is dominated by the Anuradhapura Kingdom. The medieval period in Sri Lanka is taken to begin with the fall of the Anuradhapura Kingdom in AD 1017
