Just as the Tri-lingual #RosettaStone helped Historians Decipher Ancient Languages of #Egypt & the Demotic Language as the Stone was written in #Greek too, this c200 BCE Bi-lingual Edict (one part in Greek) of King Ashoka of #MauryaEmpire #India discovered at #Kandahar #Gandhara in #Afghanistan helped James Prinsep Decipher Ancient #Indian Languages also.
This stone was kept at #Kabul Museum but was destroyed by #Taliban in 1990's.
