For the testimony of ancient metallurgical skills in Delhi in India is considered Ashok's column. It is over 23 feet tall, averages 16 inches and weighs about 6 tons. The solid body of the column is made of wrought iron and consists of professionally welded discs. At the base of the column is the inscription - the epitaph of King Chandra Gupta II, who died in 413 nl

A mysterious amount of iron

Even though Ashok's pillar is more than one and a half thousand years old, its properties are remarkably preserved. The smooth surface is like polished brass with only intermittent disturbances of the chimneys and weather influences. The mystery is that any equivalent amount of iron, which would be subjected to Indian monsoon rains, wind and high temperatures, would have been rusted for more than 1600 years.

Iron production and storage techniques far outweigh the capabilities of 5. century. These abilities are probably much older, perhaps several thousand years. Who were these mysterious metallurgists who created this wonder and what happened to their civilization?
