Ancient Inscriptions Discovered in Nallamala Forest | 11th–16th Century Stone Inscriptions Unearthed #EtvApShorts #nallamallaforest #ancienthistory #ancientinscriptions #Stoneinscriptions

Experience ancient 'copying' technique with reporters Traditional rubbing techniques, inherited in Jining for over a millennium, are hailed as the ancient equivalent of the "camera" and "printing." This unique Chinese method preserves epigraphic literature. The wealth of stone inscriptions in Jining has been conserved and disseminated thanks to these techniques, while these valuable carvings have, in turn, refined and perpetuated the craft through generations. Today, join us through the lens of our reporters to uncover the distinctive charm of this age-old 'copying' art.#CulturalJining #RubbingTechniques #craft #art #StoneInscriptions #AncientCraft

This major open-access initiative makes one of Karnataka’s most important historical records freely accessible to scholars, students, and the public worldwide. 🛕 These inscriptions were documented and digitally conserved by the 𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐜 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐮 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 as part of the seminar “𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐊𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬”, held in March 2025. 📍 𝐒𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 (𝐚𝐥𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲): Banavasi, Chandravalli, Gudnapura, Halmidi, Kavadi, Malavalli, Shiga, Talagunda, Tadagani, Telagunda, and other nearby locations. This includes images of the renowned 𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐢𝐝𝐢 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, considered the earliest 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐊𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚𝐝𝐚 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. 🧭 The project involved 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐤𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥 across 15 historic sites, with more than 𝐬𝐢𝐱 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧-𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 by the four-member team. 🔬 Using an 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐜 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫, a high-accuracy structured light 3D scanner, the team created 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐞-𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 — a transformative leap over traditional estampages, which are now rare and impractical. Given that many inscriptions are rapidly deteriorating, this initiative marks a vital intervention in preserving our shared heritage. 🙏 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦: • The 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐞𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚 (𝐀𝐒𝐈) — especially officers from the Headquarters, 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐮, and 𝐃𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐝 Circles • The 𝐊𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐚 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐞𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲, 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐮𝐦𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞 • Countless local residents, whose warmth and assistance enabled fieldwork • Shri 𝐑𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐡 𝐇𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐣𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐮𝐫, for his tireless support and facilitation at many sites 🔍 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚, 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐔𝐬𝐞 All images are released under a 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧-𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐀𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝟒.𝟎 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 (𝐂𝐂 𝐁𝐘-𝐒𝐀 𝟒.𝟎) 𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 and may be freely used 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 in: 📘 Research papers and journal articles 📗 Books and monographs 🎓 Educational or documentary videos 🏛 Museum displays and information boards 📜 Wikipedia articles and Wikimedia projects 🎁 Commemorative mementos and public exhibitions Each image is also enriched with 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚, including: • Language, script, location, and dynasty • Coordinates and historical period • Digitisation method and view type • Links to relevant items on Wikidata and Wikipedia This structured approach ensures the data is 𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞-𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞, 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦. 🔗 Explore the collection on Wikimedia Commons: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/C… 🔡 View individual characters on Akshara Bhandara: mythicsociety.github.io/Aksh… 📩 Contact Udaya Kumar P L Honorary Project Director, The Bengaluru Inscriptions Digital Conservation Project The Mythic Society, Bengaluru 📞 91-98452-04268 📧 udayakumar.pl@gmail.com #3DScanning #AksharaBhandara #AncientIndia #AncientScripts #ArchaeologyIndia #Banavasi #Chandravalli #CreativeCommons #CulturalHeritage #DigitalHeritage #DigitalHumanities #EarlyKadambas #Epigraphy #Estampage #Gudnapura #Halmidi #HeritageConservation #HistoricalPreservation #HistoryMatters #IndianEpigraphy #IndianHistory #InscriptionsOfIndia #KadambaDynasty #KadambaInscriptions #KannadaEpigraphy #KannadaLanguage #KarnatakaHeritage #Kavadi #KnowledgeCommons #Malavalli #MillimetrePrecision #MythicSociety #OpenAccess #OpenGLAM #PreserveOurPast #PublicHistory #Shiga #StoneInscriptions #StructuredData #Tadagani #Talagunda #Telagunda #Ugadi2025 #VishvavasuSamvatsara #WikimediaCommons #MythicSociety

What came first - speech or writing? Naturally spoken #language came much before scripts were invented for it. One must be silly to compare the age of languages by merely carbon dating #stoneinscriptions. Go to your #oralhistories to get a true sense of antiquity of a language.🙏🏿
