==Recent findings== In 2003, a brick was discovered in [[Chabahil]], in the course of reconstruction of the Chabahil Stupa or Dhando [[Chaitya]], bearing inscriptions in both [[Brāhmī script|Brahmi]] and Bhujimol: The upper face is inscribed with ''Cha Ru Wa Ti'' in Brahmi, and with ''Cha Ru Wa Ti Dhande / He Tu Pra Bha'' in Bhujimol script. There are [[Swastika]] marks at the two ends of the upper face with a [[Chakra]] mark in between. The brick measures 35.5cm x 23cm x 7cm and weighs 8.6kg. The brick may date to as early as the 3rd century BC.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Renovation work may prove Indian emperor built Nepal monastery {{!}} ThingsAsian |url=http://thingsasian.com/story/renovation-work-may-prove-indian-emperor-built-nepal-monastery |access-date=2022-09-03 |website=thingsasian.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Charumati: The Princess and the Stupa |url=http://ecs.com.np/features/charumati-the-princess-and-the-stupa |access-date=2022-09-03 |website=ECS NEPAL |language=en}}</ref> The previously earliest known inscription in the Kathmandu Valley dates from the 6th century and is installed at [[Changu Narayan]].
