| I started this work with the belief that the Indus Valley was a Vedic culture. I then applied the Vedic names of there constellations to the visual image of that constellation. For instance Taurus was the fourth constellation the Vedic name was Rohina here the fish glyph with protruding spins fit the visual image of the constellation and the dictionary definition of Taurus is a fish. I have found all the names except for Svaita the 15Th Sapta constellation. Then I was abel to proceed to writing found on metal this lead to a search for the planets. Two Tin ingot where found with Indus Valley writing. 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) the other tin ingot I found (word fit in other seals with same glyph) to be Kutilapatttra this is one word that means tin ingot. Kutila meant both tin and the retrograde motion of a planet, 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. After this phase I was abel to tackle the moe complacated Sumerian Indus Valley decipherment below. I used the work of L. Austine Waddell who also beleived the Indus to be Vedic he showed a clear connection in form and structure or placement of glyphs in the 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, I believe the Indus Valley rebuilt mesopotamia and gave them their script. Given the proximity of both nations to each other and a visual similairity of their glyphs I'm claiming there was an exchange of the art of writing. All Sumerian values are from the EPsd on line http:psd.museun.upenn.edu/epsd/nepsd-frame.html |
