Since the publication of the concordances of the inscriptions of the Indus seals many people have been working on the solution of the riddle presented by their 5000-years-old script. At first sight the task does not appear too difficult, as there are pictograms that can easily be recognized. A lot of signs are geometric, but this does not seem to be an insurmountable obstacle either, as they are often combined with the pictograms. The decipherments that were based on these similarities resulted, however, only in the reading of some inscriptions as more or less obscure names, sometimes not even a phonetic value could be given. Nevertheless they are often presented as complete decipherments to the public. On this account, the pretension that the Indus script is deciphered meets with increasing suspicion and is exposed to ridicule even. Many scholars working in this field are nowadays of the opinion that the Indus script is altogether indecipherable, if not a bilingual of considerable size turns up. The approach to a decipherment presented in this volume makes avail of a short bilingual from Failaka, but its master-key is the discovering of the symbolic and the linguistic connection of the Indus signs with the R̥g-Veda. More than 200 inscriptions, among them the longest and those with the most interesting motifs, have been decoded here by setting them word after word in relation to R̥g-Vedic mantras. The results that were gained by this method of comparison for the pictographic and phonetic values of the Indus signs are surprising and far beyond the most daring phantasy, i.e. beyond the analytic limits of thought. This approach is the opposite of subjectivism. The signs of all inscriptions have been found in this way have been collected in a sign-dictionary improved for a great deal in the present edition. By the deciphering of the Indus signs many problems of the R̥g-Veda could be solved too and new insights be won, for example in the question of the age of the Veda and the origin of its myths or the nature of the Soma plant.

Download Seals and Sealing in the Ancient World Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Studies of seals and sealing practices have traditionally investigated aspects of social, political, economic, and ideological systems in ancient societies throughout the Old World. Previously, scholarship has focused on description and documentation, chronology and dynastic histories, administrative function, iconography, and style. More recent studies have emphasized context, production and use, and increasingly, identity, gender, and the social lives of seals, their users, and the artisans who produced them. Using several methodological and theoretical perspectives, this volume presents up-to-date research on seals that is comparative in scope and focus. The cross-cultural and interdisciplinary approach advances our understanding of the significance of an important class of material culture of the ancient world. The volume will serve as an essential resource for scholars, students, and others interested in glyptic studies, seal production and use, and sealing practices in the Ancient Near East, Egypt, Ancient South Asia and the Aegean during the 4th-2nd Millennia BCE.

"The CISI series publishes for researchers the sealing and inscription materials of the current Indus culture (c. 2600–1900 BC), which flourished in Pakistan and northwestern India, as completely as possible and in the highest quality images possible. The material systematically documented in the series lays the foundation for an up-to-date study of the writing, religion, and art history of the still poorly known Indus culture. The latest part of a long-running international publishing project brings readers access to seal and inscription finds from smaller excavation sites of Indus culture and its pre-stages."--

Download The Depiction of Vedic Priests in Indus Seals Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This pioneering book with many interesting illustrations provides new Vedic interpretation for the Indus valley seals or the Harappan seals, with a particular emphasis on the single horned bull and the manger like structure. The analysis builds a strong linkage for the significance of bull to the manger like structure, hither to not explored. The book focuses on a scientific approach on how the words of Vedas got created, how it got structured with meter into poetry. The book presents a hypothesis on how over 10500 verses of Rig Veda and other Vedas were memorized while maintaining the purity of the composition in an ancient period when no script existed.

Download UNTOLD TRUTH FROM INDUS SEAL INSCRIPTIONS Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
What the Indologists missed in deciphering the Indus seal inscriptions was the understanding of the basic contours of the script and that they not only meant mere words but flowing sentences. The incredible ideas emerging from the peculiarity of the images employed in writing on being diligently identified through the rebus method leads to defining the current social and religious roots prevalent in India. All the seal inscriptions amazingly follow the phonetic, syntactic and semantic principles; and also redefine the existence of superstructures, trade and economy, which altogether help to brand the Harappan Civilization as a literate society.

Download Indus Seals (2600-1900 Bce) Beyond Geometry Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
"Indus Seals (2600-1900 BCE) Beyond Geometry: A New Approach to Break an Old Code" is a pioneering work which draws attention to the languages and culture of the Indus region for a better understanding of its ancient Indus seals. The signs and symbols inscribed on the seals are considered to be an ancient script which is yet to be deciphered.However, the seals are also imbued with images of animals, humans, deities, trees and unidentifiable objects. Hence, apart from depicting the script they also symbolize an assortment of social, cultural and ideological content which requires a holistic approach for its interpretation. This book looks for clues in three latent sources to establish the socio-cultural context of the seal images: it seeks ancient words retained in the Sindhi language and relates them to the seal images; it highlights the symbols of Buddhism, Jainism and Hinduism on the seals and traces the roots of the philosophy of nonviolence in ancient Indus cities; and it examines the geometric principles and patterns of seals to study the significance of geometry in the Indus Civilization. The book, through a few examples, demonstrates that these seemingly diverse means can eventually converge to present a clearer picture of a small fraction of the seal iconography. Hence, the book also emphasizes to explore more sources to understand the multiple facets of the seals."Indus Seals (2600-1900 BCE) Beyond Geometry: A New Approach to Break an Old Code" is Talpur's third book on the Indus Civilization. It is a companion to her last book "Moen jo Daro: Metropolis of the Indus Civilization (2600-1900 BCE)" and it is an update to her previous research covered in "Evidence of Geometry in Indus Valley Civilization," her first book on this subject.
