how could there possibly be Chilis in the Early Dravidian empire and King
Solomon's time when Chilis come from South America, originally, are not
indegenous to africa, and the new world not discovered til 1492?  this
makes no sense.

If this were possible, then chilis would have had cultivars flourishing in
Africa and I would assume then Europe long before Spain's conquest, and
there is nothing to indicate that. 

I think Dr C Hromnik  is smoking his chili's in a pipe rather than eating them!
