You must know these historical facts about Ashoka's Pillars

By MindStick

Ashoka erected several pillars throughout his empire, which were inscribed with his edicts and messages to his subjects.

The pillars were sandstone, and some stood as tall as 50 feet high.

Ashoka's edicts were written in the Brahmi script, which was one of the earliest writing systems in India.

Some of Ashoka's pillars still stand today, including ones at Sarnath, Delhi, and Vaishali.

The pillars were not just located in India but also in Nepal, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.

The Lion Capital of Ashoka, which features prominently on the Indian national emblem, was originally located on top of one of Ashoka's pillars.

Ashoka's pillars are important historical artefacts, as they provide valuable insight into ancient India's political and social systems.
