Indus Symbols Dictionary - Deciphering Indus Scripts (Paperback, Jeyakumar Ramasami)

There have been numerous attempts to decipher the Indus script over the past century, but none have succeeded. Why? Because the context of these archaeological sites has been misunderstood. Indus excavation sites have been wrongly classified as metropolises when, in fact, they were necropolises. This foundational misinterpretation has led to flawed analyses of artefacts and structures. For more information, refer to the article "Necropolis Theory on IVC." This book offers a fresh perspective, asserting that the Indus script follows the writing method of Egyptian hieroglyphics, thereby removing the dependency on bilingual inscriptions like the Rosetta Stone. This breakthrough enables the use of Egyptian hieroglyphs as a comparative reference. As for the language, the Indus script reflects the influence of Sanskrit, Sumerian elements, and Egyptian hieroglyphics. The Egyptian influence represents what the author terms the “Dravidian component.” It is likely that priests and scribes from Egypt, Sumer, and Vedic India collaboratively contributed to the evolution of the Indus script. The symbols of the Indus Valley indicate a composite culture from 3,500 years ago — a fusion of three great civilizations — misrepresented today by divisive labels of Aryan and Dravidian legacies.
