The earliest recorded history of the existence of monarchy starts with the reign of Tangja Leela Pakhangba in 1445 BC.^[10]

The game of polo was invented by King Ningthou Kangba (1405 BC- 1359 BC). This remarkable achievement was recorded in the Kangbalon and the Kangjeirol, two of the old manuscripts of Ancient Meitei language.^[11]

Geography

The territory of the antique realm is majorly mountainous, though the central plains is the main place where civilization flourished and was mainly concentrated.^[12]^[13]

Language

Due to regional variation, though various dialects existed, the Ancient Meitei language was the main principal language of the antique realm.^[14]^[15] The Wakoklon Heelel Thilen Salai Amailon Pukok Puya was written in 1398 BC (3400 years ago), as verified by the National Archives of India, New Delhi.^[16]

Most people in Ancient Manipur were engaged in agricultural activities and fishing activities. Only a few were traders and merchants. However, commercial activities were restricted to only a few groups of people, who were given permission by the monarchs.
