It&#8217;s true that picturesque hill stations and scenic backwaters of Kerala have gained tremendous popularity. But the land has more depth than you would think. History enthusiasts would know what we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re talking about. When they visit the place, they find it surprisingly delightful. One reason for this could be the historical town of Fort Cochin. But apart from that, the state of Kerala also features a number of simple yet graceful archaeological sites. Travelers must try to visit at least a few of them during their trip in Kerala.<\/p>\n<p>Archaeological sites provide great insight into a land\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s history and culture. They tell fascinating stories about ancient people who lived there. They even relate tales of prominent events that took place in the bygone eras. And sometimes, they reflect the general human behaviour of a particular civilization. Simply put, history speaks to us through archaeological sites. Why not experience the mystery yourself in your next visit to Kerala.<\/p>\n<p>Have a look at some of the most significant archaeological sites in the state of Kerala<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #008000;\">1.

Eddakal Caves is the only archaeological site in India that has carvings from the Stone Age Era. Those carvings are of human and animal figures as well as of stone tools.
