According to tne well-known Norwegian Professor Thor Heyerdahi, who recently uncovered some very old Limestones with the sun-symbol inscribed on them in the island of Gan in Huvadu Atoli, the history of man on these tiny Indian Ocean islands may go as, far back as 1,500 B.C. explorer However old our civilization may be, our recorded history is not yet @ thousand years old. The Yoanaafamm or Royal Grant, presented in the following pages is certainly historical records. Though the existence of this and other loamaafaam has been known for quite some tine, this is the first time that any light has been thrown one of our oldest on the contents of this particular one. The main aifficuity nas been that the writing on — tnis Yomwafaan 1g in the ancient Maldivian script known as eveylaakuu. «Tt ts only as a result of sone painstaking work by Maldivian scholars and Professors C.D. Wijeywardane and J.B. Dissanayake of the Univer sity of Ceylon, ably assisted and supervised by Mr. Hassan Ahmed Maniku, Director of the newly-formed National Centre for Linguistic end Historical Research, that this valuable document has been deciphered at last. 1am therefore very happy to introduce for the first time the Dhivehi text and the English translation of this 800-year old Toanaafamm, While expressing my deep appreciation of the estimable.work done by the two Sri Lankan Professors andthe Maldivian researchers, I trust that the contents of this booklet will pe of immense students of Naidivian history. interest to all Ise"he history of Maldives"... a subject to vhich ve are now attaching importance and much study ‘in the recent past had been undertaken. The following pages bear witness to thie. "Loamaafaanu" on "Maaloafaanu" ae it te termed in Dhéveri has held ite secrete for many centuries, but today ‘through the hardvork of the menbero of ou otaff with valu- able help froma tean of echolare fram Sri Lanka ve are able to utilise the valuable information contained in tt. I wish to thank Professor ¢.D.Mijeyawardhana and Professor J.B.Dissanayake for their help in deciphering this old docunent. Their asstetance was made avatlable through Asia Fowdation vith the kind permieston of Untveretty of Coy ton. We are adie to bring out thie book on Loamaafaanu, because of the immense help rendered by Mr, Ahmed Shafeeq and tir. ALi Najeob. These two gentlenen, while engaged in now other aotiviticn, did their beet to make thie volume a reality. As a student of Maldivian history and language, today I rejoice. For it is today that we are able to read word-toword, the oldest written record in exietance on the Maldives. It is true, the late Me, H.C.P, Bell did some work on the Loamaafaaru, but he did not go into details at that tine, There were others too, both official and private, who did hard work to "decipher" the old Loamafaaru, But success came in Little measure, Receiving inspiration from these past efforte, it te my duty today to take delight ¢ deciphering of tits very old document of Maldtvian htatory ‘The Loamaafaaru included in this book was wri tt in the reign of the great King Gadanaditya, vnose reign t gan in 1192 and lasted ? years. The Loamaafaamu my be ter as Hadhdhummathi Loamaafaanu (Dhabidhoo). Its tinguistio value and palacography ie dealt with in detailed by Professors Wijeyasardhana and Dieeanayaka in the follow ‘ing pages.
