Ancient Indian city uncovered
February 11 2008 at 10:06AM
New Delhi - Archaeologists have dug out the remains of a 2 500-year old city - believed to be bigger than classical Athens - from under the ruins of an ancient fort in India's eastern state of Orissa, a newspaper reported on Monday.
Eighteen pillars were found among the remnants of the grand city during an excavated at Sishupalgarh, a ruined fort first discovered six decades ago, the Times of India said in its report.
Sishupalgarh lies on the outskirts of Orissa's main city of Bhubaneshwar.
The findings of the team of archaeologists from India and the United States include the debris of household pottery and terracotta ornaments showing that the city's inhabitants led an advanced lifestyle.
The site is 'the most visible standing architectural monument discovered in India so far'
The site is "the most visible standing architectural monument discovered in India so far," Monica L Smith, head archaeologist from the University of California who was part of the 12-member team that conducted the excavation told the newspaper.
"It's a huge city that existed about 2 500 years ago. The city had four gateways and could have housed up to 25 000 people. Even classical Athens had only 10 000 people," another archaeologist, RK Mohanty was quoted by the newspaper as saying.
Scientists said that the city was an important one, with well-built walls and a big expanse. The pillars during the excavation work were part of a gigantic structure and probably used for public gatherings or special functions.
However, it was not clear as to how such a huge city was destroyed, researchers said adding that information about the ancient city would be gathered with the help of fresh data and findings. - Sapa-dpa

Remains of ancient city unearthed
Bhubaneswar (PTI): Remains of an ancient city believed to be around 2500 years old have been unearthed by archaeologists at Sishupalgarh near here.
The remnants at the historical site including 18 pillars came to light during a fresh research work undertaken by a team of archaeologists including Monica L Smith of The University Of California and R K Mohanty of Deccan College, Pune.
"A huge city existed at the site around 2500 years ago. The latest findings at the site comprise the most visible standing architectural structures discovered in India so far," Smith said while explaining various aspects of the findings.
The remnants suggest that the city, with four gateways, had 20,000 to 25,000 settlers, while classical Athens housed about 10,000 people, Mohanty said adding all these showed the significance of the ancient city.
The archaeologists came out with new features on the urban life of the people of the ancient period in course of a surface excavation at the fortified site, that was first discovered in 1948 by a team of 12 experts.
The pillars discovered during their research and excavation work were a part of a gigantic structure, Mohanty said adding the huge structures were probably used for public gatherings or special functions.
Referring to the walls excavated at the site, he said this were quite well-built with a big expanse, amply showing the importance of the ancient site as a city.
