KIRAT DYNASTY - (800 BC - 300 AD) Nepal's recorded history began with the Kiratis who ruled for about 1225 years .It was during this period that Siddhartha Gautama, founder of Buddhism was born. Early Kirat settlements emerged around mother goddesses and Bhairav temples. This probably were also Kirat defenses on hilltops such as Phulchoki, Nagarjun, Champa Devi, Nagarkot gap, Nuwakot etc.. The Kirat towns on hilltops were referred to as pringgas eg. Pharping, Khopring (Bhaktapur) and dula suffix meant settlements on slopes: Kupondol (Newari term dol for dula).
