Lōmāfānu (ancient royal edicts written on copper plates) can be found in this island. Lōmāfānu edicts were etched on long copper plates held together by a ring of the same metal. The lōmāfānu were written in the curly Evēla form of the Divehi akuru or old Maldivian alphabet and they are very important documents in the History of the Maldives.
