Epigraphy: Deciphering Inscriptions and Unveiling History

Epigraphy is the study of inscriptions or writings engraved or carved into stone, metal, or other durable materials. Epigraphs can be found on buildings, monuments, tombs, and other structures, and they can provide valuable insights into the history, culture, and language of a particular region or period. The study of epigraphy involves deciphering and interpreting the inscriptions, as well as analyzing their context and cultural significance. Epigraphy is an interdisciplinary field that incorporates elements of archaeology, history, linguistics, and art history.
