                                  Taksha Shila   University                                               TakshaShila, the ancient world’s first international university (c. approx. 400-500 BCE to 550 CE), was named after “Taksha’s Cut-Rock City” in ancient northern India.

Several walls were built from as early as the 7th century BC, with selective stretches later joined by  Qin Shi Huang  (220–206 BC), the first  emperor of China . Little of the Qin wall remains.
