Scientists claim to have found language of ancient Indus civilisation
"If it's real writing, we have a chance to know their language and to get to know more about their religion and other aspects of their culture."- Asko Parpola, indology professor
Elaborate symbols drawn on to amulets and tablets by an ancient civilisation belong to an unknown language, according to a new analysis by researchers.
The controversial claim raises the prospect of deciphering the written words of one of the most mysterious civilisations known, and so opening a window onto the ancient culture.

May 14 Remarkable that there is more to learn about cultures older than the standard Western (Egyptian) cultures. According to the time frame, it is quite possible that the ancient Egyptians had contact with this culture.- Gary
May 25 it's really awkward that we Americans know nothing about the Mesopotamian culture and we keep talking about Egypt as if it's the cradle of civilization, but believe me fellows it's somewhere else.
