Awesome Islamabad

The city of Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, is located on the Pothohar Plateau within the Islamabad Capital Territory and is regarded to be one of the earliest sites of human settlement in Asia.[1] Some of the earliest Stone Age artifacts in the world have been found on the plateau, dating from 100,000 to 500,000 years ago. The crude stones recovered from the terraces of the Soan River testify to the endeavours of early man in the inter-glacial period.[2] Items of pottery and utensils dating back to prehistory have been found.[3]

Excavations have revealed evidence of a prehistoric culture. Relics and human skulls have been found dating back to 5000 BC that show this region was home to Neolithic people who settled on the banks of the Swaan River.[1] The Neolithic people developed small communities in the region at around 3000 BC.[2][4] Situated at one end of the Indus Valley Civilization, the area was the first habitation of the Aryan community in Central Asia
