Archeological Survey of India

In a major raid, over 122 artifacts have just been recovered from the farmhouse of Chennai-based businessman Ranvir Shah.

ASI has unearthed eight burial sites, the remains of two chariots and several artefacts, including three coffins, antenna swords, daggers, combs, and ornaments, among others. But what makes it so special?

For centuriess, hundreds of megalithic stone sentinels or menhirs have stood guard in the little hamlet of Vangchhia in the Champhai-Farkawn mountain range of Mizoram. Called the Kawtchhuah Ropuithe, these mysterious megaliths may hold the key to hitherto unknown facts about a lost civilisation.
