Hund, Archaeological site in Swabi District, Pakistan
Situated on the bank of the Indus River, Hund features ancient structures, residential buildings, and extensive architectural remains from multiple historical periods.
The site served as the third capital of the Hindu Shahi dynasty in the 9th century, following their capitals in Peshawar and Charsadda.
Excavations at Hund revealed coins, jewelry, and household items from Indo-Greek and Hindu Shahi periods, displaying the craftsmanship of past civilizations.
The Hund Museum, established in 2002 on 33 kanals of land, houses numerous artifacts and includes facilities such as a cafeteria and rest house.
Alexander the Great crossed the Indus River at this location in 327 BC using a boat bridge constructed by his generals.
