Srinagar, Ancient Carvings and Supernovas

In 1960, the Indian Archeaologist T N Khazanchi, in a painstaking excavation spanning 11 years, discovered proof of 4 distinct human cultures beginning from the Aceramic Neolithic to the Historical era, which meant that the Kashmir Valley had been inhabited for at least 11,000 years. In the excavation, they also found a stone carving, which did not merit enough attention. This week, in the fifth episode of The Kashmir Diaries, I take you to Burzahom, the site of the excavation to tell you the story of how, just 3 years ago, the rock carving led to a stunning scientific discovery. Tune in, and uncover the story of this discovery which was hiding in plain sight, and what it teaches us about the respecting ancient knowledge systems and wisdom.
