Kolkata/IBNS: Indian entertainment streaming app, discovery+, in collaboration with Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), has launched a historical thriller documentary titled ‘Secrets of Sinauli: Discovery of the Century’.

Produced by Neeraj Pandey and Shital Bhatia’s production house, Friday Storytellers, the documentary is directed by Raghav Jairath and features Manoj Bajpayee as a host.

According to a release, the documentary uncovers the mysteries behind the excavations in the town of Sinauli, and covers the timeline of the finds, the artefacts, and the people involved across each stage of the discovery.

Sinauli, located in Baghpat district, western Uttar Pradesh, India is reported to be the largest necropolis of the Chalcolithic period (between 2000 BC and 700 BC) in India.

Among other things, the documentary presents a 4000-year old chariot, copper weapons and warrior burials.

The chariots are encased in copper and are believed to be the oldest surviving physical evidence of the chariot ever to be discovered in the world.

Alongside, there are also shields, bows and arrows, spears, swords, helmets, axes and other copper weaponry that have been unearthed from the burial sites.

Why were the swords kept in burials? Did Western countries twist Indian History? Who were the people connected to these swords and chariots?

Raising many theories and questions about wars in ancient India, ‘Secrets of Sinauli: Discovery of the Century’ features experts, some from the Archaeological Survey of India, as historians and archeologists revisit the historicity of the mythology and re-imagine the timeline of history.

“Secrets of Sinauli: Discovery of the Century is a blend of history, science, technology and mythology. India is a country known for its rich culture and varied heritage. Exploring and unearthing new facts of our history is precisely what excited me about this project” said Neeraj Pandey.

Manoj Bajpayee said, “History often gets interpreted in different ways through time, hence, important discoveries like that of Sinauli help us understand our past and our culture better.”

Issac John Direct-to Consumer Head, APAC-Discovery, said, “Discovery of this ancient civilization at Sinauli is a captivating story that needs to be seen and heard across our nation. Our latest original probes some of the most significant revelations about our rich and glorious history.”
