 Ten thousand year old Bhakkar civilization.

                   

   (Episode 2)

           Regarding the ancient history of

Bhakkar, it has been admitted that its history is not found.  This land has been barren and uninhabited for thousands of years, like the uninhabited area of ​​Thal.  And this has been acknowledged on the grounds that there are no ruins of very ancient buildings and no written history in Thal.  The land of Thal Waseeb, a very prosperous, lush and lush and full of industrial civilization, was at its peak ten thousand years ago today.

 All the historians and researchers of the world agree that human settlements started on the banks of rivers and streams.  There are rivers on the banks of which the first settlements were settled ten thousand years ago.

 The Indus Valley Civilization, which archaeologists have equated with the Babylonian and Egyptian civilizations, flourished along the banks of the Indus.  Water is a basic need for animal, plant and human life. The rivers flowing from Mount Solomon in the mountain ranges west of the Indus River and the water flowing in them were the main cause of greenery and prosperity of the population.

 Now the question arises as to when and how the first man in Bhakkar district became free.  The weather here is now windy, plants and crops. Archaeologists have found such human and animal remains in the Potohar Valley of the Son Valley. Their analysis and research revealed that this is the area where the world's oldest human  Traces of population have been found. Experts believe that man probably spread his evolutionary stages to the corners of the world by setting them in rocky valleys when the constructive forces of nature in this region began to form this region.  At that time, three severe ice ages passed in which huge rocks were flying in the air like birds. So man decided to leave his first position and spread in the world.

   With the background of the antiquity of the Son Pothohar Valley, Kohistan Salt areas, you can now assume that the geographical position of the Indus is that the area between the Indus and the Chenab is now fifteen feet higher than the Thal.  ۔  This slope reaches up to 30 feet up to Chenab.  The present Thal was not Thal at that time. It was as fertile as the land of Dera Ismail Khan.  Thousands of years ago, there was a lot of rain. Dams and dams did not stand in the way of water. Nor was water used for digging canals.  The area between Suleiman and Hyderabad Thal would be flooded. The soil brought from the mountains would be very fertile. The whole area was covered with all kinds of plants, trees, bushes and plants. It can be well estimated that if every ten  If there is a river or a canal running at a distance of twenty miles, that is, if there is an abundance of water, then why the population has not increased.

 The Indus River, which was a very important means of public transport and freight. For thousands of years, ships used to travel long distances carrying goods.  The history of Mianwali Layyah Khushab districts cannot be truly revealed until we bring to light the history of ruins in the NWFP from Peshawar to Kohat, Bannu, Tank, Dera Ismail Khan, Wahwa and Dera Ghazi Khan.  ۔

 Between five thousand and three thousand years BC, the Hundred Marius and Dravidian tribes of Iraq came to Kabul, traversing northern Iran and Afghanistan. They passed through the Khyber Pass and spread to the plains of northwestern Pakistan.  These tribes, who entered the areas of present-day Pakistan, continued to enter not only through the Khyber Pass but also through other passages.

 In the past, these routes were very different from today's routes. In ancient times, the route used to run from Kandahar to Afghanistan and reach the Punjab through the Karam Valley.  They would cross Sindh and then proceed to Chiniot. Another route would reach Dera Ghazi Khan and Dera Ismail Khan. The caravans coming through it had to cross the river from these two places.  Although the names of these places like Dera Ismail Khan etc. are new but the place is old.  These villages and settlements were spread over the place of the present Thal and Kachhi. But three thousand years ago today, when the river Indus started flowing from east to west.  The old cities were replaced by the sand brought by the river. In the sixth century AD, the river Indus was flowing west of Bhakkar.  Earlier, the flood victims had started resettling the towns of Klorkot Behl Darya Khan Kotla Jam Bhakkar Pir Ashab Nautak and Behl in those days. As the Indus River continued to flow towards the west.  The human population under its control settled on its eastern bank and villages. The river continued to move towards the west. At the same time, the settlements on its banks also continued to move towards the west.  As they moved away, these ancient settlements and cities were buried under the sand dunes.  These Thakrals mark the cities of the past. Even today, some people still find something from here. Some Thakrals are identified around Goharwala on the south side of Khansar.

 By the time Alexander the Great invaded India, Bhakkar had been liberated from Iranian occupation.  And this area was under the control of Ambhi, the ruler of Taxila.  When the troops of the Jhelum and Chenab rivers, ie the current head terrams around the camp for a while.  The villages between the east of the Indus and the Chenab were looted by the Greeks. Some of these places were completely destroyed and some remained inhabited until later.  Often when settling and leveling these dunes, bricks, household utensils, old coins and human skeletons come out.  If the Indus River were flowing east today from its old channel, Bhakkar.  Then the remnants of the great civilization and civilization here would have been telling us the events of ancient times even more than the Harappan civilization. Thus we can say that the ancient civilization of five thousand years ago was not limited to the present Bhakkar.  Was spread in the area of.
