India's emperor Ashoka Maurya has a special place in history, but he was forgotten for almost 2000 years. Only a few stone monuments and inscriptions survived. This is the story of how these keystones to the past began to be discovered by British Orientalists in the 18th century and their mysterious lettering deciphered.
