Epigraphy (from the Greek: ἐπιγραφή epi-graphē, literally "on-writing", "inscription") is the study of inscriptions or epigraphs as writing; it is the science of identifying graphemes, clarifying their meanings, classifying their uses according to dates and cultural contexts, and drawing conclusions about the writing and the writers. Specifically excluded from epigraphy are the historical significance of an epigraph as a document and the artistic value of a literary composition.
A person using the methods of epigraphy is called an epigrapher or epigraphist. For example, the Behistun inscription is an official document of the Achaemenid Empire engraved on native rock at a location in Iran. Epigraphists are responsible for reconstructing, translating, and dating the trilingual inscription and finding any relevant circumstances. It is the work of historians, however, to determine and interpret the events recorded by the inscription as document. Often, epigraphy and history are competences practiced by the same person.
History repeats itself
Nothing's truely new
What's the point of all of us
Who got this view
The earthly theories fall
Slowly one by one
It has all been said before
All has been done
No matter how much we see
Wee lose the sight
No matter how much we hear
We are never satisfied
We don't remember
All the facts of former times
Who is the member
In the future generation
They are the next - the next generation
The old ones not yet gone
No difference between
So weary and tiresome
It has all been said before
All has been done
No matter how much we see
Wee lose the sight
No matter how much we hear
We are never satisfied
We don't remember
All the facts in former times
Who is the member
In the future generation
