Petroglyphs and other artifacts, dating back to 10,000 years ago, have also been found too.. Much later Goa was part of the Maurya Empire., ...then the Delhi Sultanate. In 1510 the Portuguese established a permanent settlement called Velha Goa, means Old Goa, up to this day, a lot of Portuguese influence is still there, even though, the Portuguese left in 1961.
