Answers
Explanation:
The world is passing through a revolution in the field of documentation in terms of decoding and digitisation of ancient manuscript, data sharing and data mining. Whenever the technology is upgraded, the documented data has to be updated with the compatible mode of technology. This is a continuous and vulnerable process, a sigh of relief is that the ancient record is documented technologically through scanning, photography, videography and data entered in the meta-data form. Before discovering all these methods, the sermon of Emperor Ashoka was inscribed on rocks known as Rock Edicts. Further, the art and science of scripting found different modes of expression such as, inscriptions on clay tablet, stone, copper plate, palm-leaf, handmade paper, bark and wood carrier. All of them are in the form of manuscript written in different languages. They are all preserved in their original form in Museums and Manuscript libraries and also in situ. They are also found today in digital form for further understanding.
National Museum is a treasure for Manuscripts and ancient written records. The replica of Girnar Rock Edict is placed in the prime place to view and know the creative genius of Indian scribes. The major, minor rock edicts and pillar edicts of Ashoka found across India are in the languages of Bramhi, Prakrit, Greek and Kharoshti, which are earliest written documents.
