History
History
The site of Banbhore hides large numbers of remains of a settlement. Banbhore is an ancient archaeological site and the city is more than 2100 years old. It is located from Karachi in Hyderabad District. It was the capital of chief Bamboo Raja around the 10th century and was named after him. In most historical books, Banbhore is named and recognized as Debal, which is accepted by some historians, scholars, and archaeologists. This city is also a known landmark of Islam because Islam entered into the subcontinent from the city of Banbhore. Preliminary excavation was started by Majumdar in 1928 and in 1951 by Alcock.
