Script (Indus Script)
The Indus Script is a collection of symbols found on artifacts from the ancient Indus Valley Civilization, which thrived around 2600 to 1900 BCE in parts of present-day Pakistan and northwest India. Though numerous inscriptions exist, the script remains undeciphered, meaning we can't fully understand the messages or language it represents. Scholars believe it may have been used for trade, administration, or religious purposes. Its complexity and brevity pose challenges, as many inscriptions contain only a few symbols, leaving researchers to speculate about its significance and the culture that created it.
