Thai archaeologists have unearthed two ancient Indian gold rings
estimated to be between 1,900 and 2,100 years old during
excavations at an archaeological site in central Thailand’s
Phetchaburi province, AzerNEWS reports, citing
Thai PBS World.
The rings were discovered at the Don Yai Thong archaeological
site in Ban Lat district while researchers were examining ancient
human remains and artifacts.
Phanombut Chantarachoti, director-general of Thailand’s Fine
Arts Department, said one of the rings bears an inscription
believed to be written in the ancient Brahmi script and is thought
to have belonged to a merchant community from India.
The newly discovered rings have been transferred to the Phra
Nakhon Khiri Museum in Ratchaburi province for preservation.
Authorities have also accelerated excavation efforts at the
site, as rising groundwater levels and seasonal rainfall pose a
threat to the preservation of bronze artifacts and ancient human
remains.
