Summary
The site was dated to a late prehistoric era in Thailand, a period of human settlement also known as the Iron Age , established to be around 1,500 to 2,500 years ago. A remarkable archaeological discovery in western Thailand has unearthed two 2,000-year-old gold rings, found alongside human bones at a newly excavated site. The rings were recovered last week during an ongoing dig at the Don Yai Thong archaeological site in Phetchaburi province, according to the Thai government's Fine Arts Department.
Furthermore, Experts identified the script as "pusarakhitasa," meaning "the one protected by Pushya," said to be one of the most auspicious zodiac signs in Indian astronomy. Experts believe the rings’ owner may have been a merchant of the Indian ancient caste system Vaishyas. The excavation is expected to conclude within the next month, after which the Fine Arts Department plans to display the discoveries for the public.
In addition, Since February, archaeologists have discovered eight human skeletons, bronze and gold jewelry, pottery and other artifacts indicating a ceremonial burial of wealthy people or members of the society’s upper classes. One of the rings found on Thursday was engraved with characters believed to be Bhrami script, an ancient Indian writing system.
