Dave BontaI'm very proud to share the fruits of my linguist brother Steve Bonta's 33-year effort to decipher the Indus Valley Script. Despite studying Dravidian languages out the wazoo (because it's accepted opinion that the Indus Valley civilization must have been Dravidian), he ultimately found it to be an early form of Sanskrit. <a href="https://www.academia.edu/105134798/A_Partial_Decipherment_of_the_Indus_Valley_Script_Proposed_Phonetic_and_Logographic_Values_for_Selected_Indus_Signs_and_Readings_of_Indus_Texts" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.academia.edu/105134798/A_Partial_Decipherment_of_the_Indus_Valley_Script_Proposed_Phonetic_and_Logographic_Values_for_Selected_Indus_Signs_and_Readings_of_Indus_Texts</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/IndusValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IndusValley</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/epigraphy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#epigraphy</a>

ZNet (unofficial)About a century ago, archeologists discovered traces of an <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ancient" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ancient</a> civilisation in the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/IndusValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IndusValley</a>, comparable to Egypt and Mesopotamia.
