Answer :
Final answer:
The ancient kingdom where royals visited a temple to see lotus lanterns in 57 BC was founded in 57 BC, which corresponds to Option (A).
Explanation:
The ancient kingdom mentioned in the question, where royals visited a temple to see lotus lanterns in 57 BC, would have been founded in the same year, 57 BC. The reference to lotus suggests possible connections to ancient cultures where the lotus was significant, such as Egypt, where the lotus symbolized rebirth and new life, or to other ancient Asian cultures where lotus imagery was prominent.
However, the historical texts and archaeological findings used to determine dates for ancient kingdoms, as with the discovery of Zhou bronze vessels that provided a complete relative chronology, are not explicitly mentioned for this kingdom. As such, based on the information given in the question, the ancient kingdom was founded in 57 BC (Option A).
