Buddhist and jain scripture, establish the country ‘s antiquity as an
independent political and territorial entity. The Vamshavalis or chronicles,
the oldest of which was written during the fourteenth century are the only
fairly reliable basis for Nepal’s ancient history. The vamshivalis mention the
rule of several dynasties the Gopalas, the rule of these lengendary dynasties.
The documented history of Nepal begins with the Changu Narayan temple
inscription of King Manadeva )C.A.D. 564) of the Lichchhavi dynasty.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Narendradeva,
another Lichchhavi king, initiated friendly relations with China and his
successors laid the foundations of friendship with india by entering into
matrimonial alliances with the Indian royal families. For several hundred years
after the fall of the LIchchhavi Kingdom in A.D. 897, there are no written
records. Frequently called the Transition periods, this era was marked by
continued refinement of stone and bronze sculpture and the early development of
architecture.</span><br>
