Bhubaneshwar 51 - Palm-leaf manuscript in Odisha State Museum
Palm leaf manuscripts were written in ink on rectangular cut and cured palm leaf sheet. Each sheet typically had a hole through which a string could pass through, and with these the sheets were tied together with a string to bind like a book.
"As unbelievable as it may seem", some say www.greentaracanada.ca/blog/item/31-the-truth-behind-the-..., "they actually contain specific information of our past, present and future, our names, names of close relatives and partners, names of secret lovers and even our thoughts and plans."
Some other www.travelreportage.com/2011/06/08/the-indian-palm-leaves... say: "yes, apparently there is a leaf for each one of us, with our story written on it". 4000 years ago, they add, God himself dictated his message to a group of messengers, who wrote them on palm leaves.
State Museum of Odisha odishamuseum.nic.in/?q=27-manuscript-catalogues at Bhubaneswar houses 40,000 palm leaf manuscripts. Most of them are written in the Odia script, though the language is Sanskrit. The oldest manuscript here belongs to the 14th century but the text can be dated to the 2nd century.
