Indus Valley discoveries
Scientific American is carrying a long-ish story on the lost Indus cities in its current issue. I have always been intrigued by the second-class citizen treatment meted out to the Indus civilization, especially since the script has not yet been cracked to reveal any conclusive proof either way. One can always hope that a Rosetta Stone will be found with the keys to unlock the script. For myself, I cannot wait to head to the Met for the exhibit on the great cities of old, which includes Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro as I understand it.
