    Time and Rectangular Seals

    The state of Petristan in the Indian subcontinent spreads across the watershed of Paratha River system to the west and Korma River in the East. The early civilization of the Paratha Valley has been acknowledged as one of the past glories of southern Asia ranging from 2700 to 1700 B.C. Today, recent findings have suggested that this civilization was profoundly influential on the formation of the Petristan state. Therefore, the Petristan State Archaeological Survey has investigated 5000 sherds derived from eighteen probably states which were selected by random sampling techniques. Fifteen sites that are thought be single-period villages and three urban sites, Garam Masala, Tiltandula and Phul-Gobi, were carefully looked at. In order to derive a chronological order of these assemblages, the relative dating method of seriation has been implemented. Through this, the initial development of Petristan through the influence of Paratha Valley can be understood to a further extent.…

    Medieval India and China

    During medieval times, India’s social climate could be considered one of an idealistic civilization. From growing crops, to the teachings of higher forms of education, India was booming with potential. During the time between CA 300-1400, the society itself boomed with international trades of sugar, cotton, pepper, and cinnamon. The agricultural advantage was good for India because these resources were in high demand elsewhere in the surrounding regions. The Gupta Empire for example (ca 320-480) controlled large amounts of territory in India during these times, in a prosperous and somewhat peaceful way. During the Gupta Empires’ reign, it was considered a period of peace and growth. Very in tune with the arts, the Gupta kings ensured that works of art were treasured and preserved. Other various arts, such as poetry and mythological tales were reworked and refined as well. This appreciation for the arts inspired the rise of India drama. Other great accomplishments during these times were mathematics, which likens itself to the systems of Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks.…
