Eight new ancient sites have been discovered across Pakistan’s northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province, stretching from Swat to Taxila, during the ongoing excavation and exploration work in the region.

The discoveries were made by Italian archaeologists in collaboration with the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Directorate of Archaeology. Among the findings, remains of a small temple estimated to be around 1200 years old have been unearthed in Barikot, Swat.
