Cut a shawl, two huge boats were made. The length of the boat is 22 feet 6 inches. Its age is about three hundred years. These boats are thinking that ancient indigenous people used in Dipappur of the Pacific Ocean. The name of a stone was 'stone Thakur' in the name of the place. Here is the image of the 'arrow-bow' and the image of the goddess. One is Tibetan, Chinese alphabet. A fivefoot tall quaroyite stone was probably in a cemetery. Many experts say analyzing the characteristics of the stones, in the time of nearby Darjeeling, the religion and life of the neo stone era in Panchagarh region were well in the Panchagar region. There is still a lot of tools and tools and tools in Bangladesh are not found in Bangladesh. If the search continues, the archaeological archae of Panchagarh may be discovered in Panchagarh district.
