Madhya Pradesh: 2000-year-old modern society unearthed from Bandhavgarh National Park

Reportedly, archeologists have uncovered several archaeological treasures from the Bandhavgarh National Park in Madhya Pradesh. If reports are to go by, they have discovered paintings, water bodies that are man-made, along with a few other pieces of evidence.
Revealing more about the findings, experts stated that the tiger reserve of the present day was once most likely part of an old trade route, through which traders passed and used the rock-cut caves as their shelters.
Archeologists also got hold of a 1,500-year-old rock painting, along with several man-made water bodies, which are believed to be no lesser than 1,800-2,000 years old, from the national park in Madhya Pradesh.
Referring to this, an ASI official in the know-how added that the presence of the water bodies built at a height and used for collecting rainwater suggests that the habitation had a modern society. He further added that the water bodies could be around 1,800-2,000 years old, however, the evidence they got suggests there was some kind of renovation 1,000 years ago.
As reported earlier too, this zone has often made it to the headlines for what it holds and what gets unearthed from time to time. Last year, the ASI informed of unearthing around 26 Buddhist caves there after a long summer exploration which, as per the records, date back to the 2nd-5th century BCE.
