The ancient city of Sirkap was once a thriving ancient metropolis, complete with streets, houses, shops and places of worship.
The city of Sirkap was built by the Greco-Bactrian king Demetrius after he invaded ancient India around 180 BC. Demetrius founded in the northern and northwestern Indian subcontinent an Indo-Greek kingdom that was to last until around 10 BC. Sirkap is also said to have been rebuilt by king Menander I.
The excavation of the old city was carried out under the supervision of Sir John Marshall by Hergrew from 1912-1930. In 1944 and 1945 further parts were excavated by Mortimer Wheeler and his colleagues. Most of the discoveries at Sirkap related to the Indo-Scythian and Indo-Parthian periods (1st-2nd century CE). Overall excavations to the Greek levels have been very limited, and probably much remains hidden underground: in Sirkap, only about one eight of the excavations were made down to the Indo-Greek and early Indo-Scythian levels, and this only in an area far removed from the center of the ancient city, where few discoveries could be expected.
The site of Sirkap was built according to the "Hippodamian" grid-plan characteristic of Greek cities. It is organized around one main avenue and fifteen perpendicular streets, covering a surface of around 1,200 by 400 meters (3,900 ft × 1,300 ft), with a surrounding wall 5-7 meters (16-23 ft) wide and 4.8 kilometers (3.0 mi) long. The ruins are Greek in character, similar to those of Olynthus in Macedonia.
Numerous Hellenistic artifacts have been found, in particular coins of Greco-Bactrian kings and stone palettes representing Greek mythological scenes. Some of them are purely Hellenistic, others indicate an evolution of the Greco-Bactrian styles found at Ai-Khanoum towards more indianized styles. For example, accessories such as Indian ankle bracelets can be found on some representations of Greek mythological figures such as Artemis.
Following its construction by the Greeks, the city was further rebuilt during the incursions of the Indo-Scythians, and later by the Indo-Parthians after an earthquake in 30 AD. Gondophares, the first king of the Indo-Parthian Kingdom, built parts of the city including the double headed eagle stupa and the temple of the sun god. The city was overtaken by the Kushan kings who abandoned it and built a new city at Sirsukh, about 1.5 km (0.93 mi) to the north-east.
The city was influenced heavily by Grecian city planning principles introduced after Alexander the Great’s conquest in the 3rd century BC. Demetrius, who thought of himself as a Greek, built the city on the Hippodamaean plan: like a gridiron. The city was expanded by Gondophares, who also built the famous Double-Headed Eagle Stupa and the Temple of the Sun.
Taxila’s sanctuaries reflect the multicultural nature of the Indo-Greek kingdom, which consisted not only of the Punjab, but also of Gandhara, Arachosia and part of the Ganges valley.
A.G. Lone, an archaeologist who discovered BC-era lamps from a Jain temple in the area during 2004 and 2005, said the city’s symmetrical pattern was born of the Greek Hellenistic period. Apollonius - 44 AD - drew a parallel between the planning of Sirkap and that of Athens during his travels, and said it was the size of Nineveh, the capital of Assyria. The walls of the city are made from coursed rubble masonry, characteristic of the Greek and Saca periods.
Immediately behind the gate was what was probably a guard’s room. A Greek visitor, whose description of Taxila was included in Philostratus’ Life of Apollonius, said the houses seemed like they were only one storey, but also had basement rooms.
Now a ruin, the city once boasted a 6 metre thick and 5 kilometre long defensive wall also made of coursed rubble.
There was a fortified acropolis or high ground within the defence perimeter, and the streets of the city were more regular than those in Bhir Mound - the first city of Taxila.

If you don't mind, King Ambhi was not from Maurya dynasty. At the time of Alexander invasion, there was Nand dynasty in Patana and Ambhi was an independent King. Maurya dynasty came into existence after the envasion of Alexander.
As far as I remember I did not mention Raja Ambhi as the governor of Maurya dynasty because I also know that Chandragupta Maurya founded Maurya Empire after Alexander the Great. Still sorry if I made a mistake in the vlog.
SALM sir

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT SIR . OUR ARCHAEOLOGY DEPARTMENT IS VERY MUCH SLOW AND LAZY AND OUR GOVERNMENT ALSO,IF SOME TREVLERS WILL COME OUR GOVERNMENT AND ALL DEPARTMENTS WOULD BE ALLERT ,SO LET THEM SLEEP 😴 💤 🙄 AND
PEUWASTA REH SHAJAR SE UMMEDE BAHAR RUKH..
It is true that one should never lose hope, but the unfortunate thing is that our government never thought of protecting its heritage before and there is no possibility of it now.
So, in my opinion, the things in Pakistan will never change.

Shame on the Government of Pakistan. Very badly maintained this Historical KIRCAP once a Town. How can a tourist come where there are no facilities for tourists?
I wish the government would be ashamed of your embarrassment but it does not seems to be happening
Very well done gilani sab and well said about the stupid attitude of archeology department. They are dumb people. I teach in islamia college railway road and that college also comes under archeological department. We can't add any new thing to the building of that college. Shame on them
Jain's ke pahele thirthanker bhagwan Rishabh dev ke bade ladhke bahubali yahan ke raja they. Jain's rajaoun ka yahan raj raha hai or lako Jain's is takshila ke aas pass Bhera or kai shar aabad they, great
Ashok nai yahan raj kia or uske guru acharya chanakya ne duniya ki history ki mashur University banai thi or buddiesm ke stupas or bhagwan bhudh ke stachue install kiye the.
Thanks for information. I think that I briefed all these things in my vlog.
السلام وعلیکم ۔۔ مجھے تو پتہ ہی نہیں تھا کہ پاکستان میرے اپنے پاکستان میں بھی ہزاروں سال پرانی جگہیں ہیں ۔ سہی کہا آپ نے دکھائیں گے نہیں تو پتہ کیسے چلے گا ۔۔ میں اب تک ہسٹری کے لیے انڈین بلاگز دیکھتی تھی ۔۔ لیکن آپ کے بلاگز دیکھنے سے پاکستان ہسٹری کا پتہ چلا ۔۔۔
پھر تو آپ کو میرا شکریہ ادا کرنا چاہیے
پاکستان کی بدقسمتی ہے کہ ہر ڈیپاٹمنٹ میں جتنا کسی کی استطاعت ہے کرپشن کرتا ہے نوادرات نکال کر بیچتے ہیں پھر پابندی لگائیں گے تو واردات کو چھپائیں گے اللہ ان کو ہدایت دے
صرف آمین کہوں گا کیونکہ باقی تو سب کچھ آپ نے خود ہی لکھ دیا ہے
The only thing is missing Description in English because Mr Gilani can't speak Urdu properly! and our children and Grandchildren do not understand his language?
This is a question that I can't speak Urdu properly or your children can't understand. Your comment has mixed me up.
I know that English description is very essential and will try my level best to fulfill this weakness.
In sha Allah

At least now you should agree that your forefathers were Hindus, you belong to Indian Civilization
Not at all. I'm Syed and Muslim by birth. My ancestors are also Muslims. We are settlers from Arab.
Yes the locals were Hindus and converted to Islam after conquest of Arabs after 712AD
Nice
Thanks a lot
Shame on the Arkeological Dept of Pakistan, every corrupt officer has his own rules and regulation because Pakistan is a failed state, No Law and Order, no rules and Regulations in writing and approved by the Parliament? that is why I left PIA in Karachi and joined British Airways in London Heathrow.
Sir, you have left this country and know better that corruption has hollowed out the roots of the country. In this, not only one archeological department but every institution is involved to weakening Pakistan. Rules & regulations exist but no one is interested to implement these, that's why Pakistan is much behind than other countries.
Congrats on your job in British Airways
