Indus Valley script

The Indus Valley script is a set of symbols used by the ancient civilization of the Indus Valley (around 2600-1900 BCE). It's found on seals, tablets, and pottery, but nobody has yet deciphered its meaning. The script consists of hundreds of unique signs that may represent objects, sounds, or ideas, but without a Rosetta Stone, its purpose remains a mystery. Scholars believe it was used for trade, administrative, or religious activities, offering clues about the society's organization and culture. Deciphering it could provide valuable insights into one of the world's earliest urban civilizations.
