Kausambi

 


Excavations at Kausambi 1949-50

https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.535976


It was established in the late Vedic period, by the rulers of Kuruvamsa Kingdom ( as their new capital. The  Kuru capital Hastinapur was destroyed by floods, and the Kuru King transferred his entire capital with the subjects to a new capital that he built near the Ganga-Jamuma confluence, which was 56 km away from the southernmost part of the Kuru Kingdom now known  as Prayagraj previously called Allahabad.

This statement is in Vayu Puran (K.K. Muhammad, Archaeologist)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosambi

Research

https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/handle/10603/54692


Senior archaeologists at the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) claimed on Friday that the Sanskrit epic Mahabharata could date back to 1500-2000 BCE, instead of 900-1000 BCE as commonly believed on the basis of the findings of renowned archaeologist BB Lal.


The claim follows the findings at the excavation site of Sanauli, 68 km away from Delhi and  the discovery of a “war chariot” allegedly driven by a horse, a rusted bow and arrow, a burial site and ochre.
