Archaeologists have found an old inscription in a village in India!
It's written in an old form of the Telugu language, and it's from a long, long time ago - around the 8th century!
This means it was written over a thousand years ago.
They found it on a broken piece of stone in a farmer's field.
The writing talks about someone giving away some land.
