The Wari-Bateshwar site was discovered in 1933 by a local school teacher although official excavations only began in 2000. It is thought that the site may be an ancient commercial centre and finds suggest trading contacts with Roman and South East Asian communities. Large quantities of silver coins have also been found, often marked with images of boats, fish or the sun. Those recovered in the current official excavations probably represent only a small fraction of the original finds, as locals state that many have been discovered and melted down or sold between the 1933 and 2000.
More recent excavation discoveries include a pit type dwelling resembling those seen in India and Pakistan which date back to 2000 BC, and a 1400 year old Buddhist Lotus Temple. I was in Narsingdi in November 2009.
