Decoding Indus Valley script

TIMES NEWS NETWORK [ WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 2002 12:57:48 AM ]

ALLAHABAD: Director, Robertson Medical Institute and Ayurveda Ratna Gopalji Agarwal on Tuesday said he had deciphered the much-elusive Indus script which, he claimed, would prove historic in the realm of world history and civilisation.

In his latest discovery Mysteries of the world history unfolded, Agarwal told Times News Network that deciphering the Indus script would lead to genetic and radical changes in the current world history books.

He said his discovery had brought to surface mysteries shrouding Indus archaeological finds. He said interpretation of all these ruins had all along gone in wrong direction for the past 4,000 years since the inception of Indus and Rigvedic Aryan civilisation.

Agarwal affirmed that these ruins were full-fledged architecture of ziggurat, a rectangular stepped-up platform built up by bricks having blocks and graven iconic Indus script-based lexigrams of mother goddess Tirka or Durga, used as temple complex for worshipping by Indus people. This iconic culture of Tirka or Durga worship was the original religion of Indus and India.

Agarwal also revealed that this deciphering of Indus script, the linkage and location of Indus like religion and civilisation had been unfolded to encompass almost all countries of the world. Even Britain, Latin American, China, Mexico, Peru and Inca religions and civilisations were Indus like iconic and these people worshipped mother goddess Durga and Tirka.

Very Exciting!

Wonder how he'd do with the Tax Code???

[arthurus]

Immanuel Velikovsky had some interesting theories also.

LOL

You might find "The Golden Bough" interesting. Also, you may want to try some Mircea Eliade (e.g., "Cosmos & History").

Check this out!

I'm going to have to review his stuff one of these days. I believe he touched on the problem of the Indus Valley civilizations.

[Ranger]

For the unwashed masses like myself, what does this mean?

[arthurus]

Velikovsky was a noted nut. He was an intensely interesting and fascinating nut, but a nut all the same. Check out "Worlds in Collision" at the library.

Looks like the present day Kandahar is represented here as Gandhara?

[mikeIII]

Interesting, but I wonder where exactly the Aryans arrived from to the Indus Valley!

It seems that everyone in the universe has a grandsire who invented the light bulb/a father who invented powered flight, a somewhat greater grandsire who invented speech, and another who was married to the mother of all humankind.

OK, So what?

History is fun and educational (such as, if you don't know it, you will repeat it).

Unfurtunately, what is critical is what is done today, less critical might by WHY it is being done, and not critical at all is who did it first.

Unless you are a democrat.

I don't really care who "Eve" was or whether or not whe was my ancestor and yours, or yours alone.

What I do care about is which of here offspring can be trusted and which cannot.
Which can be relied upon most of the time not to try to kill me and those who want whatever I've got, for free, and because some distant bozo believes that it is OK for him or her to take it from me...."Because".

So. OK; reorganize history. Science does that all the time (without apology for the false theories it proposed previously)...just don't pretend that it makes any difference today.

'Cause it don't!

Actually i think it's Gandahar in Uzbekistan or up there somewhere. There are ruins and paintings there i saw on a TV show where there are people depicted with blond/red hair,
indian types, and chinese. It's that mysterious Uzbeki hidden civilisation.

Thanks for the ping.

Lost Civilisation From 7,500 BC Discovered Off Indian Coast

[Aaron_A]

Yeah...a little too far north.

[swarthyguy]

The spot called Kurukshetra on the map would be close to present-day New Delhi - ~50 miles maybe.

[Cronos]

Actually that's comparatively modern -- Gandhara, Taxila, etc. are only known of in the 1 millenium BC. The Indus valley and other civilisations in the Indian continent stretch back to 5000 BC at least.

[Cronos]

Gandhara = Kandahar, in Afghanistan. hastinapur = New Delhi c. 300 BC. The rest are all Magadhan or early Maurayan names. The map itself depicts the Mauryan Empire c. 300 B.C. which stretched over most of the indian continent except for the extreme south. India did include Burma, Afghanistan and parts of cnetral asia.
