    නිරිත දිග මෝසමෙන් එන වියළි සුළඟ භාවිතයට ගනිමින් උස් කඳු මුදුන් වල මැටියෙන් සාදන ලද මෙම උදුන් යපස් උණුකර වානේ නිස්සාරණය කර ගැනීමට සහ අනර්ඝ තත්වයේ වානේ අපනයනය කල බවටද සාදක හමුවූවා
    As early as the seventh century A.D. Sri Lankans made steel in furnaces powered by monsoon winds, a previously unknown ancient technology. Forty-one iron-smelting furnaces have been found at a site in the arid region of Samanalawewa, according to Gill Juleff, director of the excavations for Sri Lanka's Archaeological Department. -

    :yes: Dr Juleef did research work and published about these furnaces. It's said that the Arabs bought steel from SriLanka and also from South India.
    Famous Damascus steel was made using these imports.
