Amaravati Stupa discovery and dispersal NOT question

Please wait…

1. Which of the following statements about the Amaravati Stupa’s discovery and dispersal is NOT correct?

Colin Mackenzie first documented the ruined stupa in 1797, when his own maps labelled it “deepaladimma.”

Today the two largest collections of Amaravati sculpture sit at the National Museum, Delhi, and the Louvre, Paris.

Walter Elliot’s 1845 excavation near the site’s west gate moved many sculptures to Madras, later known as the “Elliot Marbles.”

In 1858, the East India Company shipped a further batch of sculptures to London, entering the British Museum’s collection in the 1880s as the “Amaravati Marbles.”
