The discovery of 4000 year old advanced chariots from excavations at Sinauli, UP in 2018 stunned the world. Not only did the dicovery deliver a final blow to the fallacious Aryan Invasion, it also busted many myths about ancient Indian civilization.

Clearly the civilization that consisted of warriors who used technologically advanced weaponry. Antenna swords with copper-covered hilts and medial ridge were found next to the skeletons. Also found were shields and helmets among which is the world’s oldest copper helmet

The excavated copper helmet predates any other helmet in the world. The three chariots made of wood and covered with thick copper sheets also indicate a culture that fought many wars.
What’s exciting is that there are both men and women warriors buried at the site.

This clearly indicates that women warriors have been part of Indian culture for millennia. The shields had two gender-specific designs. Women warrior shields had steatite inlay work and those with copper designs were for men.

Additionally decorative objects such as combs embellished with animal motifs like camel and peacock show that these animals were part of popular Indian culture in the ancient past. Mirrors and golden artifacts attest to the fact that this was a wealthy civilization

These archaeological excavations clearly indicate that even 4000 years ago, Indians posessed advanced technological knowledge . It will be interesting to find out how the study of objects found at Sinauli will change our perceptions of world history in the future.

The image of the chariot shown here is incorrect. Unfortunately the source I got it from had shown this as the reference image.The correct image is shown below. Apologies for any confusion.🙏
