A SHORT HISTORY OF NEPAL

The early history of Nepal is shadowy.In Nepal there must have been a Stone Age and Copper Age as in Northern India.Excavations and researches will one day we hope, bring to light many dark chapters of the early history of Nepal.There is no systematic presentation of historical events in their properchronoligical order.Legends and fiction are mixed up with the tiny threads of history.It is hard to distinguished facts from fiction.If therefore awaits the energy and patience of keen intellected scholar to teach out real facts and presents them before the public.For the present we must study the legends as well as facts.Here we follow the version of Buddhist chronicles which are among the oldest existing materials regarding the history of the Valley Of Nepal.Of course, there were many centres of culture in ancient Nepal as in evidenced by the existence of relics (ruins of ancient buildings,and monument in stone) at ranions spots in the Terai and in the Kathmandu Valley,but on all these our chronicles are entirely silent.Thew history of Nepal Had been for along time ,the history of the valley though it may not be the oldest centre of civilization in the whole kingdom of Nepal today.
It is understood that historians approach historical events from their own point of view, selecting some events as important others as unimportant ;some finding as true, others as false,and they differ widely as to the causes and effects of historical events and movements.So, it is necessary to the past from diverse points of view of many historian and not now conditions have changed since then.
