Question

You have studied about the Harappan script in your previous grades. Observe this seal carefully and discuss why the script has not yet been deciphered. Also, find out what efforts have been made to decipher it. You can use your textbook, consult your teacher, or refer to online sources.

Answer 1

The Harappan script has not yet been deciphered because no bilingual inscription has been found, the inscriptions are very short, and the language of the script is still unknown. Archaeologists and linguists have studied Harappan seals, inscriptions, and symbols using modern technology and computer analysis, but the script has not yet been fully understood.
