Ancient Manipur, also known as Antique Kangleipak[1], was a civilization flourished in the central plains of the present day Manipur, India.[2][3][4][5][6] The Kangla served as the foremost capital city of the realm since time immemorial till the late 19th century AD.[7] It had its earliest recorded evidence of the existence of monarchy right from the reign of Emperor "Tangcha Leelaa Pakhangba" (1445 BC-1405 BC).[8][9]
History
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]
