I'm unsure where to put this since there doesn't seem to be an appropriate forum for this. But for those interested, here it goes:

If you are interested in this, I highly recommend Lost Languages: The Enigma of the
World's Undeciphered Scripts. (available on Amazon but I can't get the link working.) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Fat-Tony, thanks a lot for the book suggestion! I decided to share this article on the forum because there appears to be a bit of a breakthrough in the decipherment of the script. I'm not obsessed with the topic of undeciphered scripts but the Harappa script particularly interests me because I'm rather intrigued by the mysterious Indus Valley civilization. Little is known about it but the architecture at the various sites shows that it must have been a highly advanced civilization.
