SADIKPUR SINAULI

June 21, 2019

The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has started the process of declaring the site at Sadikpur Sinauli of national importance, issuing a notification on June 6 seeking objections, if any, from the public for a period of two months.

About:

The ancient site at Sadikpur Sinauli is spread over 28 hectares in Uttar Pradesh's Baghpat district.
The site was the “largest necropolis of the late Harappan period of the early 2nd millennium BCE”.
At the site, the excavation and preservation work is still ongoing after being started in 2018 and was deemed to have national importance due to the finds uncovered.
Among the treasures unearthed are three chariots, legged coffins, shields, swords and helmets – all which point towards a warrior class that must have existed around 2,000 BCE.
