Another Ancient city discovered in India - Indian archaeologists say they have found remains which point to the existence of a city about 7,000 years old at Sisupalgarh, inland in the eastern Indian state of Orissa.

This is not the first ancient city found recently in India. In 2002 a lost, submerged city was found off the Indian coast at Mahabalipuram, also in the East of the country. And there is another submerged city site in the West. These sites are all considerably older than the Harappan civilization, aka the Indus Valley Civilization, previously accepted as the most ancient in the area and often cited as the birthplace of modern man's city state societies. Time to revise the textbooks again. This would also be in line with my own theory of city civs appearing along the propagation route of the cannabis plant from its mysterious original Asian source, probably the lower Himalayas or the Altai Mountains. The use of hemp for rope & cloth fibre would have been essential in these early city civs.
