Ancient Gold Rings Reveal Thai-Indian Trade | Glasgow News

Archaeologists in western Thailand unearthed two 2,000-year-old gold rings alongside human bones, revealing ancient trade links and elite burials from Thailand’s Iron Age. One ring bears rare Indian Bhrami script reading “pusarakhitasa” — “the one protected by Pushya,” a powerful astrological sign — while the other is plain gold, hinting at a Vaishya caste merchant. Eight skeletons, gold, bronze, and pottery were found, suggesting ceremonial rites for the wealthy. The dig ends in a month, with treasures set for public display — proof that global connections stretched back millennia.
