| I started this work with the belief that the Indus Valley was a Vedic culture. I then applied the Vedic names of constellations to the visual image of that constellation. For instance Taurus the fourth constellation, the Vedic name was Rohina here the fish glyph with protruding spins fit the visual image of the constellation and one dictionary definition of Taurus is a fish. I have found all the names except for Svaita the 15Th Sapta constellation. I then was able to proceed to writings found on metal, this lead to a search for the planets. Two Tin ingot where found with Indus Valley writing on them one ingot's glyphs were a variant of the name I found for the constellation Bhadrapata, two glyphs form this name Bhadra- pata. The variants I found were Guru(tin) and Pattra (ingot) this is one word Gurupatra, the other tin ingot found fit the word Kutila-pattra (Kutila-pattra this is two words that means tin ingot). Kutila means both tin and the retrograde motion of a planet (it can also mean the retrograde motion of the moon), this started my search for names of planets prior to the Kutila glyph. The Vedic names of planets were often formed from the names of star constellations luckily these same names for planets formed names of seasonal astrological events. After this phase I was able to tackle the more complected Sumerian Indus Valley decipherment below. I used the work of L. Austine Waddell who also believed the Indus to be Vedic, he showed in his work a clear connection in form and structure or the placement of glyphs in the seals. These expressions of dates were employed by the Sumerian's during the time of the seals. In the evolution (the time of the seals)of Sumerian hieroglyphic forms L.Austine Waddell showed a connection both in forms of individual glyphs and in it's placement in a hieroglyphic sentence. Page 10 on the prior page deals with the Unicorn one of the most used pictorial image on the seals reads ekazRGga equals the name of Vishn2a. Vishn2u is the "slayer of the Asura Vr2ishabha" and Vr2ishabha is the bull or the zodiacal sign Taurus (page 15 of prior page). On the Sumerian seals (Sumerian 10) the pictorial image (the unicorn) is replaced by the hieroglyphic signs that form the Visual image of Taurus (Sumerian 2). The Sumerian seals that show a similarity to the Indus seals are undeciphered in that the entire hieroglyphic sentence is not completely understood. In this translation of the hieroglyphic words I show these seals to be dates put on shipping seals. The fragmentation of Sumerian cuneiform I believe was caused by the adoption of a foreign script. After the catastrophe of Mesopotamia around 2800 BCE (possible earlier), I believe the Indus Valley rebuilt Mesopotamia and gave them their script, at any rate cuneiform images start apearing around this time. Given the proximity of both nations to each other and a visual similarity of their glyphs I'm claiming there was an exchange of the art of writing and the earliest signs are being found in the Indus/Elamite reagion. These dates reflect the use of an astrological calender that starts in Citra (Virgo) spring (45degrees from spring in Taurus). Page 15 shows Taurus as the one horned bull. These dates are from an original Zodiac calendar, most Indus seals have a Unicorn for Taurus (the busiest time of the year for shipped goods "Spring") This calender I believe used the vedic name Dhruva the star Polaris to fix the northern celestial pole. At the start of the calender %6500 years ago the star Virgo was in the summer solstice not the spring solstice, because of the use of Polaris to align northern celestial pole Citra (one quarter of a years deference) became spring.
