Brief Description

From the ancient Neolithic tumulus of Saraikala to the ramparts of Sirkap (2nd century B.C.) and the city of Sirsukh (1st century A.D.), Taxila illustrates the different stages in the development of a city on the Indus that was alternately influenced by Persia, Greece and Central Asia and which, from the 5th century B.C. to the 2nd century A.D., was an important Buddhist centre of learning.

塔克希拉

从远古新石器时代的萨赖卡拉坟墓到公元前200年锡尔凯波的防御工事再到公元1世纪的锡尔苏克城，我们可以从塔克希拉了解印度河畔城市的发展历程。它在各个时期分别受到了波斯、希腊和中亚的影响。从公元前5世纪到公元2世纪，这座城市还是重要的佛学中心。
