The Indus Script is a collection of symbols used by the ancient civilization of the Indus Valley, which thrived around 2500 BCE. This script is primarily found on seals, pottery, and other artifacts, but its exact meaning remains undeciphered. The symbols are typically short, with most inscriptions containing fewer than five characters. Scholars believe that the Indus Script may represent a form of writing, possibly used for trade or administrative purposes. Despite numerous attempts, no consensus has been reached on its interpretation, making it one of the enduring mysteries of ancient history.
