Answer 1

While epigraphy offers insights into ancient inscriptions, it does not present a comprehensive view of political and economic history. Inscriptions typically focus on royal decrees or religious contributions, frequently excluding information on daily life, social organization, or economic circumstances. Archaeological findings and written records are essential for supplementing this incomplete information.
