History of Nepal

Before Nepal's emergence as a  nation in the latter half of the 18th century, the designation  'Nepal' was largely applied only too Kathmandu valley. thus up until ta unification  of the country, Nepal's history is largely the history  of the Kathmandu valley. References to Nepal in famous Hindu  epics such as the Mahabharata, puranas and also Buddhist and Jain scriptures, establish the country's antiquity as an independent political and territorial entity. The Vamashavalis or chronicles, the oldest of which was written during the 14th century, are the only fairly reliable basis for Nepal's ancient history. The Vamashavalis mention the rule of several dynasties the Gopalas,the Abhiras and the Kiratas .. over a stretch of centuries. However,no extant historical evidence has yet authenticated the rule of these legendary dynasties.The documented history of  Nepal begins with Changu Narayan temple inscription of king Manadeva I(C 464-505 A.D.) of the Lichavi dynasty .They are 3 dynasty in Nepal there are:
1). Lichavi dynasty
2).Malla dynasty
3). Shah dynasty, Unification of Nepal.
