About the Book
This book challenges the traditional assumptions stemming from text-based archaeology, particularly those associated with the Alexander Cunningham era. It critically re-examines the role of archives, monumental architecture, and artifacts in the reconstruction of the past. The work seeks to bring a fresh perspective to archaeological research, proposing that these elements offer a more nuanced understanding of history, beyond the textual sources traditionally relied upon.
The author delves into how monuments and artifacts play a critical role in interpreting and reconstructing historical narratives, emphasizing the importance of physical evidence in forming a comprehensive understanding of ancient cultures. The book is a thought-provoking read for scholars and enthusiasts of archaeology, history, and cultural studies.
