History
Ancient history and settlement.
No definitive records exist to elucidate Lahore’s earliest history, and Lahore’s ambiguous early history has given rise to various theories about its establishment and history. Hindu legend states that Keneksen, the founder of the Great Suryavansha dynasty, is believed to have migrated out from the city.[38] Early records of Lahore are scant, but Alexander the Great’s historians make no mention of any city near Lahore’s location during his invasion in 326 BCE, suggesting the city had not been founded by that point or was unimportant.[39]
