Question

Where is the largest Epigraphic collection in India?

Answer 1

Hey here is ur answer....


The earliest traces of epigraphy in the Indian Subcontinent are found in the undeciphered inscriptions of the Indus Valley Civilization (Indus script), which date back to the early 3rd millennium BC. Two other important archeological classes of symbols are found from the 1st millennium BCE, Megalithic Graffiti Symbols and symbols on punch-marked coins, though most scholars do not consider these to constitute fully linguistic scripts, and their semiotic functions are not well understood. The earliest deciphered epigraphic inscriptions of significant length are the Edicts of Ashoka of the 3rd century BCE, written in forms of Prakrit in the Brahmi script. samanam inscriptions in South India written in Tamil-Brahmi, Bhattiprolu alphabet and the Kadamba alphabet are also of relatively early date. Short Brahmi inscriptions on potsherds from the 4th century BCE have been reported from the ruins of Anuradhapura and potsherds containing Tamil brahmi script found in kodumanal, porunthalur and palani dated 5th century BCE, Burial of Adichanallur, Tamil Nadu were dated from 1800BCE to 300BCE found with graffiti and Tamil brahmi script.

Answer 2

The earliest epigraphy traces in the continent of India are found in the engravings of the Civilization of the Indus content, which go back to the mid-third thousand years B.C.

Two other significant archaeological classes of images are found from the first thousand years B.C.E., Megalithic Graffiti Symbols and images on punch-stamped coins, however, most researchers do not consider these to comprise completely etymological contents, and their semiotic capacities are not surely known.
