It isn't just archaeologists who uncover ancient remains. Over the years, hikers and trekkers have made some remarkable discoveries of ancient artifacts. In October of 2023, a group of city hikers in Manchirevula Forest Trek Park near Hyderabad stumbled upon a cluster of ancient rock art. Similarly, hikers on the island of Montserrat discovered ancient petroglyphs that date back to the island's earliest inhabitants.
Recently, a group of trekkers discovered a stone cave near the Arunachal-Myanmar border. This cave is believed to have served as a transit camp used by Allied Forces during World War II. The discovery sheds light on a long-forgotten chapter of history and reveals the vital role the site played in slowing down the progress of the Japanese army.
