Drawing on classical texts, Indian sources, and geographical observations, Francklin identifies Patna as the probable site. His work reflects early British efforts in archaeological and historical research in India, combining scholarship with colonial interests. Francklin’s study contributed to the foundational understanding of India's ancient urban centers and their significance in world history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBook details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e William Francklin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback \u0026amp; Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 405\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gyan Books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1815\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs Inquiry Concerning the Site of Ancient available in paperback or hardcover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes – \u003cem\u003eInquiry Concerning the Site of Ancient\u003c\/em\u003e is available here in Paperback and Hardcover; pick the one you want from the options above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat language is this edition in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition is in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho wrote Inquiry Concerning the Site of Ancient?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInquiry Concerning the Site of Ancient is written by William Francklin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow fast does Bookston ship?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping is free on every order, with no minimum.
