I have been trying to get rid of my old papers collected since my last 81 years on planet earth. Before tearing off any paper, I read it. While going through this exercise today, I found the following info noted by me in one of my diaries:
"Page 82. Cunningham Varanasi. ...north of the Ganges he visited Hodgsons three Ashoka pillars and besides one of them he found burial mounds in which were huge lead coffers, nine feet long, containing unusually long human skeletons, dated to about 1000 B.C...these were the oldest finds ye made on Indian soil"
I do not remember in what context, and from which book I had taken these notes. Would any learned historian friend throw light on this.
