Ambalantota is a tidbit for Sri Lankan archaeologists and scientists from around the world, thanks to the numerous archaeological artifacts discovered in this area of the deep south of Sri Lanka. Today Ambalantota is a small town on the way from
Hambantota to
Tangalle. It is here that evidence of the history of the times of the Sanskrit and the pro-Sanskrit civilizations is found. Finds relate to the history of man 7000 years ago.

The human skeleton found in Godawaya is at least 7000 years old. Several prehistoric stone tools, as well as animal remains, were discovered from the Godawaya at Archaeological excavations in Ambalantota.
The complex of biodiversity of Ambuluwawa is a unique combination of nature and human creation. The complex in Gampola on an area of 327 acres, a few kilometers from

The great ancient
Anuradhapura, as we are sure, must necessarily be included in the historical part route through Sri Lanka. Skip the visit of Anuradhapura, as well as skip the ruins of the ancient
Polonnaruwa, which means if not at all not to visit
Sri Lanka, then at least, do not get the keys to understanding one of the greatest ancient civilizations on Earth. And after going to Anuradhapura, stop in the city for at least 2 nights to get acquainted with most of the historical monuments of the city.
Anuradhapura is one of the greatest centers of ancient Buddhism. This is the first capital of Sri Lanka. The city existed for fifteen centuries and was destroyed in the X century AD. The capital was famous for its power and splendor. Kings, monks, engineers, sculptors and ordinary people left behind a huge number of Buddhist monuments. Today the ancient part of the city is designated as the Holy City — Puja Nagaraya.

Buduruvagala — an ancient Buddhist temple in the
Uva Province, Sri Lanka. The complex consists of seven statues and belongs to the school of Mahayana thinkers. The statues date back to the 8th-10th century and date from the reign of King Walagamba. The giant Buddha statue still bears traces of its original stucco molding, and a long orange band indicates that the statue was once brightly colored.
Next to the Buddha statue there are three more, each on either side of the Buddha image, all of them are executed with abhaya mudras and belong to the late
Anuradhapura period. The central of the three figures to the right of the Buddha is considered a Buddhist mythological figure — Bodhisattwa Awalokiteshwara. To the left of this white statue is a female figure in a thrice bent pose of worship, which is believed to be his wife Tara.
