Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Historians know less about Indus Valley civilizations than other early groups because their writing system has yet to be deciphered. Archaeological digs, however, let us know they had advanced and highly planned cities with grid systems, brick platforms, centralized protected citadels, and plumbing.
Detailed explanation-3: -Historians did not learn much about the Harappan civilization from written sources because its writing system has not yet meen figured out. They learned much from building remains, like the drainage system, and where grains were stored.
