500 ancient artifacts uncovered at the remarkable Bhamala Archaeological Complex in Pakistan

The Bhamala Buddhist Archaeological Complex in Pakistan has revealed a wealth of history and treasure dating back 2,000 years. Excavations have recently uncovered more than 500 “terracotta artifacts, stucco sculptures, architectural elements, copper coins, iron nails, door sittings, pottery and 14 coins from the Kushan era,” reports The Express Tribune.

According to The Express Tribune the site is believed to date back 2,000 years, and pending laboratory tests on recent finds, Bhamala might be found to be even older.  Newly recovered artifacts, like the clay Buddha heads unearthed at the site, may date back to the 3^rd century A.D.
