INDIAN GEOGRAPHY

Detailed explanation-1: -One reason archaeologists, and average people, don’t know much about the Indus, is that it was only discovered in the 1920s. Since then, researchers have identified more than 1, 000 settlements, which from the surface appear to belong to the culture.

Detailed explanation-2: -So far, the Indus writing system could not be translated because the texts are too short, we have no bilingual inscription and we do not which language or languages were transcribed. Moreover, it is possible that it worked differently from any other writing system of the same general period.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most inscriptions containing these symbols are extremely short, making it difficult to judge whether or not they constituted a writing system used to record the as-yet unidentified language(s) of the Indus Valley Civilisation. Despite many attempts, the ‘script’ has not yet been deciphered, but efforts are ongoing.

Detailed explanation-4: -Unfortunately, no bilingual inscriptions have yet been found to allow the Indus Script to be compared to a known writing system. Since the Indus Script has not been deciphered yet, its use is not known with certainty and all that we think we know is based on archaeological evidence alone.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: The Indus Valley script is still difficult to understand because it is completely unrelated to any writing system used today and is unrelated to any of its contemporary writing systems from Egypt and Mesopotamia.
