This study examines the landmarks, the artefacts and the inscriptions of the locations in which excavations were carried out. The book gives an insight into the solutions confirmed by the discovery of the petroglyphs in the Indus Valley, near Chilas with 30,000 images, and more than 4,000 inscriptions.
