New #MapsMonday discovery today! We found Pirak Mound site perfectly depicted on this 1928 #map. This site, located on the Kachi-Bolan region of Baluchistan (Pakistan), was #excavated in the 1960-70s by French-Pakistani teams and was dated to circa 1700-700 BC. During this #excavation, they found extensive #mudbrick architecture, evidence of #rice cultivation, and figurines of horse riders!

Finally, almost 100 years after it was #excavated, l’area sacra largo Argentina is open to the public! On show are four #ancient #roman #temples. Famously, It is also just in front of where Julius #caesar was murdered! #rome #archaeology
