Lesson 2 Unit 6
ARCHEOLOGICAL WEALTH
Objectives:
On completion of this lesson, students will be able to:
• Enlist the place of historical and archeological importance.
• Suggest some points how to preserve them.
Nepal has an ancient history. We have proved evidences from Gopal Dy-
nasty to Shah Dynasty who had ruled over Nepal since the ancient time.
Such evidences are found in different form of scripts, legends, coins, trav-
el accounts, architectures, sculptures, paintings, inscriptions or so on.
They are considered as historical property of the nation. But knowingly or
unknowingly, some of such properties are being ignored. Children even
sometimes play with them and get spoiled such valuables. So, we must
be aware enough to protect them accordingly.
Our civilization is very old. Our ancestors used many different things
during their time. In order to get an idea of life in ancient times we
need to study the remains of things of the past. These things are found
in different places, preserved partially or fully. From a study of these
preserved remains we can get an idea of the past. The study of historical
artifacts is called archaeology”.
