Did Ancient India Build the World’s Oldest Dockyard? #theforgottenpast #facts #history

More than 4,000 years ago, a carefully planned city stood near the coast of Gujarat. This was Lothal, one of the prominent settlements of the Indus Valley Civilization. Archaeological excavations revealed organized streets, advanced drainage, intricate bead-making workshops, and a massive brick basin that many researchers interpret as an ancient tidal dockyard.

Eventually abandoned to the sands of time, the ruins of Lothal still challenge our understanding of ancient technology.
