Indus Valley Script has been one of the oldest unsolved mysteries in the world.
In this video we have made an attempt to solve a few Indus signs with the help of Linear Elamite and Proto Sinaitic and Brahmi scripts.

Apparently we have managed to crack the Indus Valley Script, and while it's far from complete, it's a big step forward in deciphering the ins and outs of the Indus Valley Civilization.

This is by no means a final or complete decipherment, but it's an exciting development nonetheless. In this video, I'll take you through the latest news and developments in the Indus Valley Script saga, and share with you what this means for Indian history. Stay tuned for more updates as we move closer and closer to a full understanding of this ancient civilization!
The music is made by artist named HoliznaCC0 and we thank him for that.

  • Incredible. Absolutely Incredible. I've also been into the Indus Script and trying to make observations of the seals pattern and way of usage etc., but you took it to another level. Great job! I like how you connected Elamite and Brahmi to the Indus script, especially. Many people have tried to put up similarities and possible theories of Brahmi-Indus connection, and most completely disregarded Elamite and saw it as a language isolate (though a small minority of researchers have connected IVC script with Elamite). This would also have to do w/ the origin of the Indus people and their trade connections with Elam and other places. One more area that could possibly hold an interesting story is the almost unkown Oxus Civilization, which existed during the same time of the IVC near the river of Amu Darya in central Asia. They had fully fortified cities, fire altars w/soma pots, a structural palace etc. It is also called the BMAC (Bactria Margiana Archeological Complex) which is quite an unromantic name. Even the first excavations of this civilization revealed that trade between them and the IVC was abundant as shown by seals there (as far as Turkmenistan), most likely exported through the IVC post of Shortugai in central asia. Some (undeciphered) bits of writing have also been found in the Oxus. Future excavations could reveal linguistic and cultural similarities between the IVC and the Oxus. Something definitely interesting to think about. The Oxus Civilization ended around 1800 BCE, the same time as the Indus. Other than that, these symbols that you managed to decipher have also been deciphered the exact same by other researchers like Sue Sullivan and Yajnadevam, among others. Especially the "Namana" that you mentioned was also recorded exactly by sullivan and yajnadevam. The dotted line as "na" has been mentioned many times, your brilliant research only reaffirms that :). the "Ma" sound as the fish seems most probable because not only does it look similar to the Brahmi Ma as you showed, but also because the dravidian word for fish is "Min", and the Sanskrit word for fish is "Matsya". Most other indian Language groups have their word for fish startibg with a "M" sound, which I thought was interesting. Also, the "B" sound as the box also reminded me of something, that semitic and middle eastern languages like aramaic etc. have the word for "house" as "bet" or "bait". same goes with egyptian (in egyptian it was written as "pr")In Egyptian hieroglyphs, the representation of a house is with a box as well. The box could have possibly represented a house, like they did in Egyptian Hieroglyphs. And w/ the connections with elamite, their writing systems might have been influenced by each other. Anyway, your work is absolutely fantastic! great video!
  • I'd like see a part 2. I became fascinated with the Indus Valley Civilization over 50 years ago when--after reading Joseph Campbell's "The Masks of God," (most of) Arnold J. Toynbee's "A Study of History," and a few other books, e.g. Lewis Mumford's "The Transformations of Man"--I obtained a BA in history at UC Berkeley. I continue to read about the earliest civilizations (e.g. urban-centered societies), and of course have a particular interest in all written records they left behind. I recall being fascinated by an early, and overoptimistic, start at deciphering the IVC's script in a 1983 issue of "Scientific American." So please, keep on with the good work!
  • @adamrose3262
    Definitely make a Part 2 . . . that was fascinating and could be quite a groundbreaking bit of research ! Great work !
  • @drvidhijain7306
    Indians from all parts of our country should participate more in deciphering our past..
  • @vg2812
    Great video, would be glad to see part 2
  • Great effort 👍👍👍👍👍 Would like to see not only part 2 but also a whole series on this!!!
  • @ramanin.v.s5044
    Very exiting. Looking for further vedios on the subject. Commendable work.
  • @_mana_
    awesome work, waiting for part 2 and more🤩
  • Extremely interesting. I hope I live long enough to see this script deciphered. It's puzzling to me that such an advanced ancient culture has such a paucity of written records.
  • Thanks for sharing!!Looking forward to see the whole thing ..❤😅❤😮
  • I studied classical archaeology with a minor in ancient languages in university and this is an exciting breakthrough. My first exposure to the Rosetta Stone was utterly fascinating. I anticipate a discovery one day of something that will be as useful for Indus Valley as there was with Rosetta. Keep up the videos my friend!
  • @manmohanmehta5697
    Carry on the good work. This decipher ment would be the greatest breakthrough.
  • @manikandanputhur
    Great! No words! I think we will be able to progress to 75% of the scripts soon! I think the last syllable in each word can be half. Like instead of namanah we may have to read it Naman (in hindi it exists). Anyway, congrats!!
