Snapshot
Understanding the recent excavations at Sinauli in UP, and their links to our Vedic past.
Archaeologists of Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) under the leadership of Dr Sanjay Manjul excavated Sinauli in 2018. He discovered 116 burials there.
It is Asia s largest burial site excavated as of now. It provided the first ever ancient chariot discovered in
Bharatavará¹£a. This chariot is now dated to between 2100 BCE and 1900 BCE.
It is a solid wheel chariot but contains triangular shaped radial reinforcements made of copper (a different kind of spoke), making it better than the spoked wheel fast chariots unearthed in other parts of the world, avoiding quick breakage of wheels, while moving fast.
