Fewer and fewer sources of recorded data as we move in the past.
Study of modern history comes with the luxury of accessible pictures, voice and video recordings, documents, artifacts, relatively newer monuments with engravings, inscriptions, plenty of coins.
Study of ancient India gets harder as most of the records don’t exist anymore. Structures made of wood (in case of Mauryas for instance) have perished and there’s hardly any evidence left in places like Patna (Patliputra). Only stone and rock monuments (Sanchi, Ajanta caves) have survived or the oral records (Vedas) that were passed from one generation to the other.
In wake of limited clues, piecing together ancient history becomes challenging and fraught with speculation. But exciting at the same time! Which is what drew so many European enthusiasts and scholars like William Jones to take up the arduous task of uncovering mysteries of the ancient past. They solved many a mysteries like identifying origin of Gautam Buddha and Buddhism in India, figuring out who Ashoka was, deciphering Brahmi script, discovering Sanchi stupa, and many others.
India was a 3,000 year old civilization until the discovery of Harappa by John Marshall and his team around 1920s, and we became a 5,000 year old civilization overnight. We still haven’t been able to decipher the Indus Valley script though.
Who knows how much of historical evidence remains buried in the ground. It takes commitment, funding, passion to painstakingly unearth it.
