Islamabad: Hidden History, Ancient Civilizations, and Mystical Legends Behind Pakistan’s Capital
Islamabad, Pakistan’s modern capital city, hides a fascinating and ancient history behind its stunning Margalla Hills. Often seen as a newly-built, well-planned city, Islamabad's roots actually trace back thousands of years, linked with ancient civilizations like Taxila and Hindu sacred traditions. The Margalla Hills, considered the foothills of the mighty Himalayas, hold tales of White Huns invasions, sacrificial rituals, and ancient temples. Legends suggest that the name "Margalla" originated from ancient rulers, brutal battles, and serpentine paths. Fossils found here indicate these hills were once under the ocean over 40 million years ago. Sufi saint Bari Imam even prophesied that a great Islamic center would emerge here. Islamabad’s hidden archaeological heritage includes ancient caves linked to Buddha, Hindu gods like Ram, Sita, and Lakshman, and prehistoric civilizations connected through trails like Trail 6 (Darrah Kawani).

Before the creation of Islamabad, the area was dotted with ancient villages like Saidpur, Shah Allah Ditta, and Simly, each with deep historical and cultural significance. Saidpur Village, with its ancient Hindu temples, Buddhist caves, and Mughal-era relics, is considered the soul of Islamabad’s early history. Rich in folklore, from the travels of Emperor Jahangir to ancient Hindu pilgrimages, Islamabad’s landscape was once a thriving center of civilizations and trade routes. Today’s tourist hotspots like Shah Allah Ditta Caves and Saidpur Village stand as living museums of Islamabad's hidden past, offering a mesmerizing blend of Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, and Mughal heritage that remains largely unknown to the wider world.
