{{Term/Store|''An Ancient Text''||Series, BotW}} is an {{Term|BotW|Object|link}} in {{BotW}}.<ref>{{Cite|An Ancient Text|N/A|BotW}}</ref>

{{Term|BotW|An Ancient Text}} is a {{Term|BotW|Book|link}} found on a table inside {{Term|BotW|Calip|link}}'s cabin behind {{Term|BotW|Fort Hateno|link}}'s wall. It provides a riddle about the nearby grove of {{Plural|BotW|Stone Statue (Object)|link}}, instructing its reader to pierce the eyes of a cursed {{Term|BotW|Stone Statue (Object)|display=Statue}}. This is the key to "{{Term|BotW|The Cursed Statue|link}}" {{Term|BotW|Shrine Quest|link}}, which {{Term|BotW|Link|link}} receives from {{Term|BotW|Calip}}. {{Term|BotW|Calip}} himself studies the {{Term|BotW|An Ancient Text|display=''Ancient Text''}} every night, though he has not yet discerned its meaning.<ref>{{Cite|And since you asked, I'll inform you that I'm engaged in analyzing ancient texts. I haven't time for idle chitchat.|Calip|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|[Ancient texts?] Soon, my long years of research will be revealed...and all the world will hail it as the discovery of the century!|Calip|BotW}}</ref> If {{Term|BotW|Link}} indulges in {{Term|BotW|Calip}}'s desire to be called "Doctor," {{Term|BotW|Calip}} will directly quote the {{Term|BotW|Book}} for {{Term|BotW|Link}}, believing that it is harmless to share the riddle that he has not been able to solve.<ref>{{Cite|{{Small|Doctor...}}<br/>Did I...just hear you call me doctor? As in, not merely Calip, but DOCTOR Calip? It rolled off your tongue so naturally. It was downright salivary! Hrm... This changes things... Very well then! I'm feeling charitable, so I'll let a few things spill. This is just between us, understand. "When a dark light resides in the cursed statue's eyes, pierce its gaze to purge the seal from the shrine." I'm still in the process of deciphering that one, so I don't suppose there's any harm in sharing it with you.|Calip|BotW}}</ref>
