Learning & Context

  • The Indus script is one of the world's oldest writing systems, yet it remains undeciphered.
  • Seals were likely used for trade and administration, stamping clay to mark ownership.
  • Over 4,000 inscribed objects have been found, but most inscriptions are very short (avg. 5 signs).
  • AI translations are highly speculative and based on patterns, not confirmed meanings.
