Niglihawa Ashokan pillar

I took this photo in Niglihawa, Nepal. According to an information board in Niglihawa, this place is identified with the birth place of Kanakamuni Buddha. One of the must-sees in Niglihawa is a couple of broken Ashokan pillars and the photo shows one of the pillar which stands on the ground. The other pillar laid flat on the ground. I could see ancient scripts on both of the pillars. Some of the letters looked like English letters, and some of the letters looked like symbol marks. I wish I could read them.
