I ran across "Sand Script" today in an artist's statement, clearly referring to Sanskrit. This is in the eggcorn database, but I also found this:
Some Sanskrit (Sand script) texts talk of coriander's cultivation in ancient India nearly 7,000 years ago although there are but a few plant fossils exist to back up the literature. (http://savitharajsspiceland.blogspot.com/)
Surely there is no basis for this, is there?
