All of them are convinced they've deciphered the script of the Indus Valley Civilisation, a blend of signs and symbols."They claim they've solved it and that the 'case is closed'," says Rao, Hwang Endowed Professor at the University of Washington and author of peer-reviewed studies on the Indus script.Adding fuel to the race, MK Stalin, the chief minister of southern India's Tamil Nadu state, recently upped the stakes,...
