Harrapan period earthenware (Pottery) found on the Sahibi riverbed by INTACH-Rewari, at Hansaka village, Rewari District, 2012

Archaeological findings on the Sahibi River have confirmed habitations on its banks before the Harappan and pre-Mahabharata periods. Both handmade and wheel-made earthenware dated from 3309–2709 BCE and 2879–2384 BCE has been found on the banks of the Sahibi River at Jodhpura. INTACH-Rewari found pottery on the Sahibi riverbed at Hansaka in the Rewari district. A red stone statue of Vamana Dev was found in the Sahibi riverbed near Bawal in 2002; the statue is now displayed at the Shri Krishna Museum, Kurukshetra. Other artifacts discovered in the Sahibi River include arrowheads, fishhooks, appearheads, awls, and chisels.[3]

Identification with Vedic rivers
See also: Drishadvati river

Several modern scholars identify the old Ghaggar-Hakra River (of which Tangri river is a tributary) as the Sarasvati river and the Sahibi River with the Drishadvati river of Vedic period, on the banks of which Indus-Sarasvati civilisation developed. such scholars include Bhargava[4] The Drishadwati River formed one border of the Vedic state of Brahmavarta and was mentioned in the Rigveda, the Manusmriti, and the Brahmin Granths texts.

gollark: Text mode will subtly mess it up.
gollark: <@!426660245738356738> I assume the bad constant issues are due to not writing it to a file in *binary* mode?
gollark: Just include the entire source code of potatOS (except the bits that actually run it), shove your code in the middle somewhere, minify, compile to bytecode, strip debug symbols, and obfuscate the string constants using my thingy maybe.
gollark: You could compress it, I guess. PotatOS has LZW although actually that isn't used much now.
gollark: Well, it's still more efficient to just use uncompiled code.
