Ballshi inscription

Okay, so you know how sometimes you write your name or draw a picture on something? Well, a really long time ago, people in a place called Ballshi did that too. But instead of writing their names or drawing pictures, they wrote words and pictures on rocks.

These rocks were really special because they were used to tell stories about important people and events. You see, a long time ago, people didn't have phones or computers to remember things, so they wrote them down on rocks like a big memory book.

The things that were written on these rocks were called inscriptions. The people who wrote them used a special way of writing called a script. Think of it like a secret code that only a few people knew how to read.

Over time, Ballshi became famous for their inscriptions and people started coming from all over to see them. Today, some of these inscriptions can still be seen and they help us understand what life was like a really long time ago.
