At its peak, the civilisation may have had a population of more than 5 million Writing an in-depth report in Nature, Andrew Robinson, author of 'The Pictured is the Siddikui area of the ancient Indus Valley civilisation of Mohenjo-Daro But deciphering the script is not just an intellectual puzzle, it has also The Indus (or Harappan) civilization flourished from ca. 2600 to 1900 B.C. In a vast region spanning what is now Pakistan and northwestern India.Its trade networks stretched to the Persian Gulf and the Middle East. The civilization emerged from the depths of antiquity in the late 19th century, when General Alexander Cunningham (1814 1893) visited a site known as Harappa and published a Harappan Civilization and Its Writing: A Model for the Decipherment of the Indus Script.

Of the four most ancient civilizations of the Old World only the South Asian or Harappan civilization's writing has not been deciphered. Ever since the discovery of that civilization in the early part of the 20th century Computers unlock more secrets of the mysterious Indus Valley script Four-thousand years ago, an urban civilization lived and traded on Such a model can be valuable for decipherment, because any These results give us confidence that there is a clear underlying logic in Indus writing, Vahia said. The model could predict the missing symbol with 74% accuracy. Also analysis of Harappan seals found in Mesopotamia and West Asia found that they were of a different encoding; maybe they represent different subject matter. Our results appear to favor the hypothesis that the Indus script represents a linguistic writing system. Our Markov analysis Unicorn seal of Indus Valley, Indian Museum Collection of seals The Indus script (also known as the Harappan script) is a corpus of symbols produced the Indus Valley Civilization.Most inscriptions containing these symbols are extremely short, making it difficult to judge whether or not these symbols constituted a script used to record a language, or even symbolise a writing system.

The Indus Valley Civilization (also known as Harappan culture) has its earliest roots in cultures such as that of Mehrgarh, approximately 6000 BCE. The two greatest cities, Mohenjo-daro and Harappa, emerged circa 2600 BCE along the Indus River valley in Punjab and Sindh.
