Mr.Daniel Salas is deciphering the Indus Script to Sanskrit
Devanagiri script.<
<
How can that be? How can he decipher a script that has already been
deciphered? To limit ourselves to Sanskrit readings, it has been
deciphered by some Rao, another Rao (SR), Natwar Jha, NS Rajaram, the
addressee Dr. K., and by the Germans Ushanas Richter and Hasenpflug,
separately. And all of them disagree, yet none of them ever argues it
out with any of the others. Steve Farmer with his non-script reading
and Asko Parpola with his Dravidian reading at least take the trouble
of rebutting each other's theories.
Kind regards,
