Induscript, a Structural Atlas for an Undeciphered Script
An open research platform catalogs Indus script inscriptions, pictograms, archaeological context, and competing hypotheses without claiming a decipherment.
- For
- Indus script researchers and historically curious readers
- Worth noticing
- The locked compilation contains 2,543 inscriptions and 592 unique pictograms, while each hypothesis includes a counterargument.
Field notes
The platform separates observed graphic classes from semantic candidates, making room for structural comparison without pretending that a pictogram has a verified translation. Its cards preserve disagreement: one entry notes that a proposed possessive or titular ending has no bilingual evidence, while another records that different scholars merge or split the same sign family. The interface exposes named categories and a locked corpus of 2,543 inscriptions.
