Wari-Bateshwar ruins

The fortified ruins stretch across 600 meters with four mud ramparts and contain evidence of an advanced urban settlement from the Iron Age period.

Archaeological findings from 2006 revealed settlements dating back 4,000 years, with silver punch-marked coins indicating extensive trade connections during 450 BC.

Excavations uncovered evidence of sophisticated mathematics, geometry, and metallurgy skills through discovered tools, beads, and architectural elements across the site.

The site spreads between Wari and Bateshwar villages, located 17 kilometers northwest of the Old Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers confluence.

A 5.8-kilometer mud rampart known as Asom Razar Garh served as a secondary defense line, measuring 20 meters in width and 10 meters in height.
