Detailed explanation-1: -Scholars and historians don’t know a lot about this civilization since it existed so many years ago and attempts to decipher its writing system have not been successful. There is little evidence of the relationships between the cities-if there were-and no artifacts that depict a ruler or any military campaigns.
Detailed explanation-2: -Second, while the Harappan Civilization left extensive writing on numerous artifacts, archaeologists and linguists have still not been able to translate the script. This means that we cannot decipher the texts or glean the information about the Harappans left behind in their own records.
Detailed explanation-3: -Written records gave historians a great deal of insight into the civilizations of ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, but very few written materials have been discovered in the Indus valley. Though seal inscriptions do seem to have written information, scholars have not been able to decipher the Indus script.
