During the time between 800 and 200 BCE the Śramaṇa movement formed, from which originated Jainism and Buddhism. In the same period, the first Upanishads were written. After 500 BCE, the so-called "Second urbanisation" started, with new urban settlements arising at the Ganges plain, especially the Central Ganges plain. This age saw the rise of the Magadh, Nanda, Maurya dynasties and the establishment of trade and travel with other countries. Culturally, this period was extremely rich.
