Over 1,000 "rockets" used during the period of 18th century Mysore ruler Tipu Sultan have been unearthed from the silt of an abandoned well at a village in Shivamogga district, officials said today.
Workers digging an old well at an areca garden at Bidanuru stumbled upon the 'ironcased' cylindrical type of rockets used during the period, a top archaeology department official said.
Department of Archaeology Commissioner Venkatesh told PTI that similar rocket type models of the Tipu Sultan period were found near the same place six years ago.
He said the rockets would be preserved at 'Shivappa Nayak Museum Shivamogga' as 'rocket gallery.'
