Script

In Delhi stands a 7-meter iron pillar, forged around 400 AD under Gupta emperor Chandragupta II, that hasn’t rusted after sixteen centuries outdoors. Despite Delhi’s harsh monsoon weather, the Iron Pillar weighs over six tons and still gleams with almost no corrosion, unlike any other ancient iron. Metallurgists found high levels of phosphorus in the iron, a direct result of ancient Indian smiths avoiding lime during smelting. That missing lime is why the Iron Pillar has resisted rust since the Gupta era, longer than any modern steel structure exposed to the same elements.
