Descrizione del libro

The Indus script developed in the Indus or Harappan Civilization, which flourished around 2500–1900 BC in what is now modern Pakistan. In this fascinating study, Professor Parpola outlines what is known about the Harappan culture and its script and proposes a method which will permit further progress in decipherment.
