2. The ancient in the modern
‘The ancient in the modern’ cites R. E. M. Wheeler’s Five Thousand Years of Pakistan: An Archaeological Outline, which presents the imposing material heritage of Pakistan to the outside world. Wheeler’s attempt of a long history of Pakistan was also intended to preserve this inheritance for future generations of the new-born nation. Wheeler’s outline of the regions make up modern Pakistan, from the Indus to the arrival of the first Arabs. This outline gives us a glimpse of Pakistan’s diverse historical continuum that increasingly goes under-remarked and unremembered. The material and cultural connections and confluences of Pakistan belie the image of a modern monolith.
