The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) discovered four rock art sites in Mizoram. These sites feature petroglyphs and rock paintings that date back from the 16th to the 19th centuries. This discovery is significant as it provides rare archaeological evidence of early human activity and artistic expression in the region, contributing to the understanding of the pre-colonial history of the Mizo people and the surrounding highlands. While states like Assam and Manipur have rich archaeological records, this specific discovery of four rock art sites within this specific timeframe (16th-19th century) is attributed to Mizoram.
