Descripción del artículo del vendedor

In the autumn of 1924 the scholar archaeologist John Marshall made an announcement that at one stroke dramatically altered existing perceptions of South Asias antiquity he proclaimed the discovery of the civilization of the Indus valley Within weeks Marshalls news was recognized as conveying one of the most monumental discoveries in the history of human civilization the world over it became apparent that this was on the same scale as the findings of Heinrich Schliemann who unearthed Troy and Arthur Evans who dug out Minoan Crete The Troy and Crete stories have been well told several times over But a detailed archivally rich and completely accessible narrative of the people processes places and puzzles that led up to Marshalls proclamation on the Indus civilization has like the civilization itself long remained buried Now for the first time in this book we have the whole story enchantingly told Nayanjot Lahiri has mined and deployed as never before bureaucratic memoranda colonial noting marginal letters and piecemeal musings within the institutions and in the work of individuals who collectively discovered the Indian subcontinents earliest cities Spanning nearly a century this is a tale of men such as the colourful collector traveller Charles Masson who first described Harappa the archaeological pioneer Alexander Cunningham Harappas first excavator discerning diggers such as Daya Ram Sahni Rakhaldas Banerji and Madho Sarup Vats who uncovered Harappa and Mohenjodaro the Italian linguist turned explorer Luigi Pio Tessitori who unearthed Kalibangan but never lived to tell the tale of his exploits government officials of all kinds who as self taught archaeologists stumbled upon significant clues in their work arenas and presiding over the whole process a Cambridge classicist brought by Lord Curzon to India as Director General of the Archaeological Survey of India John Marshall who finally pieced into place a maze of enigmatic data on the long forgotten Indus civilization Finding Forgotten Cities combines an astonishing amount of detail hitherto undisclosed on the lives and times of these men It comprises a powerful narrative history of how Indias antiquity was unexpectedly unearthed It will interest every serious reader of history and anyone who likes to read an utterly fascinating story 410 pp.…
