Do rock and wall paintings proclaim the origin of Sri Lankan calligraphy?

Abstract

As far as the outset of Sri Lankan calligraphy, it does not date back to 3 B.C. The main reason is the non-availability of reliable archeological evidence. But it is evident that we had a calligraphy on our own before 3 B.C. through our historical sources whereas archeologically rock and wall paintings play an important role in this fact leading to a matter of controversy of Sri Lankan latter styles prior to 3 B.C. Even though different opinion emerge that rock and wall painting and Sri Lankan calligraphy. But no study has been conducted on their relevance to the calligraphy for this purpose, inscriptions, interview, as primary sources and library, book references as secondary souses and periodicals, newspapers, internet and lectures as tertiary sources are used. It is said that rock and wall painting were found among the pre historic homosaphiens cave in Sri Lanka. It seems that Dorawaka per historic symbols is related to the calligraphy. Symbol which have been transformed in to letters in course time. Pictographs and phonemes can be seen in Sri Lanka calligraphy. It speaks the past glory of our calligraphy which is still under investigation.
