A Stone Age archaeological site that fell off the radar was rediscovered by an insurance officer and history enthusiast wandering the interiors of Maharashtra. Catch the astonishing tale of how Amit Bhagat found Papamiyan Tekdi in Chandrapur and why the site is so important.

Chandrapur, around 160 km from Nagpur, is known for its black gold – coal. It is also known for the famous Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve. But what is largely unknown is that this part of India was also home to some of the earliest Stone Age communities on the subcontinent.

Archaeological finds here are rich is stone tools that date as far back as 1,50,000 years. The region is so ancient that dinosaurs are believed to have roamed these parts, 140-200 million years ago, which is evident from dinosaur eggshells discovered in Pisdura, close by.
