Unweathered ancient scripts

I took this photo in Niglihawa, Nepal. When I headed to Lumbini from Chitwan National Park by car, my Nepali guide and a driver and me stopped by Niglihawa to see some ancient ruins of Ashoka era. One of the must-sees in Niglihawa is a couple of broken Ashokan pillars and the photo shows one of the pillar. The pillar was that long and it was laid flat on the ground. An interesting fact of the pillar was that an illustration and ancient scripts were still unweathered and they were visible like the photo shows.
