Surprisingly, there is never any kind of rusting or corrosion in it. The Trishul is unaffected by the sun, shade, or rain falling from the sky.     Megaliths Megaliths are the earliest surviving man-made monuments, derived from the Latin mega (large) and lith (stone). Megaliths were constructed either as burial sites or as commemorative memorials. In India, archaeologists trace the majority of the megaliths to the Iron Age (1500 to 500 BCE), though some sites precede the Iron Age, extending beyond 3000 BCE. The scientists and researchers, who study the movements of the Sun, verify with these megaliths, as observatories from prehistoric times. The Punkri Barwadih megalith site of Hazaribagh is a famous group of megaliths of the state. The megaliths have been proven to date back to 3000 BCE.
