AI overview

Epigraphy is the study of inscriptions—writings carved or engraved on hard surfaces like stone or metal monuments—found across different cultures and time periods. It matters because these inscriptions provide direct historical evidence about ancient civilizations, their languages, rulers, and beliefs, helping scholars understand the past.
