      As I described in the posts, “Preservation of the Buddha Dhamma” and “Misinterpretation of Anicca and Anatta by Early European Scholars”
      European Civil Servants saved the Tipitaka in the 1800s. The original documents on Palm leaves are still kept at the British Museum as the following video illustrates.
