Patna, April 15: The Bihar government has submitted a new praposal to the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to have the Cyclopean Wall, a 2,500-year-old construction in Rajgir, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Built before the 3rd century BC, the Cyclopean Wall of Rajgir is a 40-kilometer-long stone wall that ringed the ancient city of Rajgir to protect it from external adversaries and invaders.

“We are leaving no stone unturned to get Cyclopean wall listed in the UNESCO World Heritage Site. We have submitted a fresh proposal highlighting the historical significance and features of the Cyclopean Wall to the ASI following their request”, Additional Secretary cum Director (Archaeology), of Bihar’s Art, Culture and Youth department, Deepak Anand told PTI.

He claims that the wall is one of the world’s oldest examples of cyclopean masonry and that it should be recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has previously stated that the Cyclopean Wall should be recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The pre-Mauryan Cyclopean Wall of Rajgir, which is 40 kilometres long and made of enormous undressed stones, is thought to have been built in the pre-Mauryan era.

The Cyclopean Wall at Rajgir is thought to be identical to the ‘Frontiers of the Roman Empire,’ which stretches through Germany, the United Kingdom, and Northern Ireland and was added to UNESCO’s global heritage list in 1987.
