In ancient times, the area's name was Mahahattam. About two big ponds and a dozen smaller ones were created by the [[Indus Valley civilisation]] to trap runoff rainwater in them, which could last for a full year until the next rainfall replenished the supply. There are a few myths of that culture that concern the area of Maham. Archaeological excavations in the region on land about the area of a dozen village estates have yielded well-documented finds, which have shed light on the pre-Harappan settlements, particularly at Madina and Farmana Khas. Dr. Vasant Shinde of the [[Deccan College Post-Graduate and Research Institute|Deccan College]] in [[Pune]], Dr. Manmohan Singh of [[Maharshi Dayanand University]] in Rohtak, and other Japanese scientists explored these archaeological finds. | ||
