No doubt discoveries in history are linked with excavations and technological advancement is making it easier and authentic. Recently, an amateur historian and metal detectorist is becoming famous due to his unusual discovery of Arabic coins linked to the seventeenth century's Mughal ruler Aurangzeb, found in the meadow in Middletown. These coins were minted in Yemen during the 17th century and recently found after excavations from Rhode island, some of them from the U.S and UK. According to Jim Bailey, there were no American colonies in India or the even Middle East. So for sure, the coins came here by pirates of that time. These coins proved the rise of piracy in the West, at that time when everyone was praising white supremacy and eulogizing them as the torchbearers of enlightenment. This discovery shows the eye-opening reality and demands to look into the story in an objective and unbiased way. This discovery opens new mysteries of Henry Avery, the cruel and the killer pirate, notorious for his brutal murderous behavior. Jim Bailey and other researchers say those Arabic coins are linked to Indian Mughal ruler Aurangzeb of the 17th century.

Khafi Khan writes about when the Mughal officials and governor of Bombay Sir John Gayer talked. “…the discourse turned upon different topics, pleasant and unpleasant, bitter and sweet; questions and answers were made. Of these questions, one was about the cause of the arrest of his agents. Trusting that God and His Prophet would protect me, I said in answer: ‘You do not take upon yourself the responsibility of the shameful deeds committed by your men, which are condemned by all sensible men.” Hence, the 17th century was full of this kind of incident when pirates and robbers looted people who were carrying any kind of treasure or wealth. Aurangzeb demanded justice from East India Company with the condition of friendly trade relations but as East India Company had no links with Henry Avery, it could not capture him. Aurangzeb condemned this act while British officials were trying to save their trade relations. This incident is condemnable as 15000 pilgrims were not just looted but also ruthlessly slaughtered while their fellow countrymen, the English, claimed to be the torchbearer of the enlightenment. This highlighting aspect of the article brings forth the fact that even the so-called politically and economically developed nations have dark sides too so they should objectively investigated and questioned.
