Script of the Indus Valley

The Script of the Indus Valley, found on ancient seals and pottery, is a mysterious writing system from around 2600-1900 BCE in what is now Pakistan and northwest India. It consists of numerous symbols and signs, but scholars have not yet deciphered its meaning. The script's purpose remains uncertain, but it likely served for trade, administration, or religious activities. Its symbols suggest a complex and developed writing system, possibly involving ideas, sounds, or both. Despite extensive research, the script remains one of the great undeciphered scripts of the ancient world, leaving much about the Indus Valley civilization still unknown.
