The Iron Pillar of Delhi, an ancient metallurgical marvel located in the Qutub Complex, Mehrauli, has withstood corrosion for over 1,600 years. Standing at 7.21 meters and weighing around 6 tonnes, this pillar, likely commissioned by King Chandragupta II, is made of 99.72% pure wrought iron. Its remarkable preservation is attributed to high phosphorus content and environmental factors, showcasing India's advanced ancient iron smelting and forging technology. A true testament to India's early scientific and metallurgical brilliance!
