Archaeologists in Hyderabad have recently found rare stone tools, belonging to the neolithic age, with the findings indicating that the city's history goes back to about 6,000 years.
The Neolithic age relates to the period when humans used tools and weapons made of stone and had just developed farming.
It was for the first time that neolithic tools have been found in the city, said E Sivanagi Reddy, a retired government archaeology official.
