Shatial inscriptions
Shatial inscriptions are ancient carvings found in the Shatial region of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. These inscriptions date back to the 7th century and are primarily written in the Sanskrit language. They provide valuable insights into the cultural and historical context of the area during that time.
The inscriptions are etched on stone and often feature religious themes, including references to Buddhism and Hinduism. They serve as important archaeological evidence, helping researchers understand the spread of these religions in the region and the interactions between different cultures in ancient South Asia.
