Let's decipher the Indus Valley script

[Uma]

I just got a book about palmistry symbols and they remind me of the Indus Valley script (also Nazca Lines and other things, like things children naturally draw when they're really young). These are so ancient and universal and obviously associate with subtle energies radiating from our chakras and nadis and the universe. I was thinking they must have been the first inspiration for the creation of writing systems around the world. Some forms just seem to appear everywhere and anywhere.

Opinions? Feel free to share.

Namaste, Uma.

I have been trying to decipher the Indus Valley Script for quite a while now.

For something very interesting, please compare the Indus Valley Script with the Rongo Rongo script from Easter Island and they are almost identical!

If I wasn't on my mobile phone, I could provide certain images for you, but I cannot get around Pinterest's digital encryption codes and my mobile phone always defaults to Pinterest for ALL images now and I don't know why... it's annoying.

Anyway, besides the Rongo Rongo Script, check out the ancient Asian Brahmi Script:

...and the evolution of the Tamil Script:

I have deciphered a few of the characters of the Indus Script, but it didn't make any sense, so I put it in the "too hard basket" about 2 years ago...but the "Rosetta Stone" will be found in Rongo Rongo and in the ancient Polynesian languages and the Pallava Script connection.

Omniglot is an amazing resource for ancient languages...It will just take time to find similarities and compare characters of all world languages in the timeframe of 1000 - 3000 BCE. This is a HUGE undertaking.

I have just found something very interesting.

I was just playing a hunch and decided to forget about Easter Island and concentrate on Nan Madol in Micronesia. I wondered what the ancient text would look like from the abandoned ruins of this very old coral city.

I came across what is called the "Pohnpei Script" or the "Caroline Island Script" and surprisingly, Pinterest would let me share the link:

This clearly shows that in the first millennium BCE, there was a universal language with similar characters.

Also, check out the paleolithic Mycenaean Greek language...It is also very similar...I just found this amazing thing on YouTube:

Suffice to say, this has been a hobby of mine for quite some time now.

I am armed with a few more pieces of the puzzle today and thanks for renewing my interest in this script (and other prehistoric antediluvian languages which have a common source).

Aum Namah Shivaya

Wow. I never knew Mycenaean Greek sounded like that and had a writing system like that... it reminds me of Japanese!

One of the symbols is very similar to the Egyptian ankh, symbol of life.
What meaning did it have to the Indians? One interpretation: https://sanatanadhamma.wordpress.com...-and-pavitram/

Greetings.

As with many proto Indo-European languages like the Indus Valley Script, Linear A (Minoan) and Linear B (Mycenaean) was carried along the trading routes into Asia and also South East Asian countries.

There is no historical evidence for this, but the Japanese that is spoken on the island of Okinawa is totally different to the rest of Japan and closely resembles Linear A and other Altaic languages... this has been largely discredited though, but one cannot help but wonder..

There are similarities all over the world...The Buddhists bought the Pali and Kawi script from Tibet to Thailand and down into Cambodia, while Tamil traders brought the Dravidian scripts across to Indonesia..

There is some academic debate that the Indus Valley Script is actually a Dravidian Script and not an Aryan one...and I can see the similarities with very early versions of the Tamil script, but I am still guessing that it is some kind of ancient Persian or Armenian language that for some unknown reason, can be found in the middle of the Pacific ocean and also some places in Brazil.

I actually have just found a beautiful article which highlights and explains all I have been talking about and I am totally over the moon.

Great article

Many of these common signs occur as wrinkles in our palms - very universal.
see for example
Palmistry is part of Nimitta, one of the six organs (angas) of Jyotish

Oh, by the way...

I am of the ARDRA Nakshatra.

I also have the planet Saturn in a VERY bad situation.

I need to do a Puja every year in order to escape a certain Karmic curse, but I have not done it for over 20 years....It is time I do that again.
