THE INDUS VALLEY CIVILIZATION

Can one decipher the script above? Yes.
As on the Phaistos Disk and other ancient scripts,
the direction of the head of men and animals is the beginning
- not the end - of a written script.
Hence, the script above is read left to right as ZE-MU-S-DUO-RAT-IS
which is Latvian Zemustradis or Zemie Izstradis
meaning "for Agricultural Work".
We retain ZE-MU as ZE-BU meaning "Brahman Cattle".
The syllables come from the following Indo-European terms
here on the example of Latvian words for the symbols:
SEga "carpet, blanket", MIEzeris "mortar",
UOSA "ear, handle, curved object" DUOna "butter churn"
RATs "wheel, round object" and ISS "short".
