“The oldest extant manuscript (the Bower manuscript) in Sanskrit was found in Chinese Turkestan, the troubled Xinjiang Province in modern China. Written on birch bark the script is dated to the Gupta Era (5th – 6th century CE). The manuscript contains treatises on medicine, future telling (by casting a die) and spells to counter snakebite.”

“The excavation of graves has also provided evidence of early dentistry in the region. At least eleven drilled molar crowns have been recorded on nine individuals[8]. The drilled crowns were found on both men and women. One individual had three drilled crowns while another had the same crown drilled twice. When archaeologists tried to re-enact the antique procedure, they found that a bow drill tipped with flint head can drill such holes in the enamel in less than one minute. Dentists today use the same procedure, better known as the root canal procedure, to relieve pain in a rotten tooth. Of course, now we don’t have to go through the excruciating pain, thanks to anaesthesia and mechanised drills.”
