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]
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. 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.
