Puzzle Description:

On the left is the Indus sign for the sky. On the right is the Indus sign for the constellation Draco. This is read from right to left, and means "Draco is in the sky."

The earliest script in India so far known is the Indus
Valley pictographic script. Over 4000 symbol bearing seals have been discovered in the Indus Valley. Some of the seals are from 2600 BC! The scripts are still being deciphered and there are different theories presented by various experts as to the meaning and significance of the many signs.

I hope you enjoy this new journey of discovery with me as we go back in time to explore the Indus Valley of the Bronze Age.

Hooray for another series! This was a fun puzzle -- I like the symbols and the border. The one on the right looks kind of dragon-like, but I wonder where the one on the left came from and if there's a story behind it.

Thanks, Sallie.

The experts know almost nothing about these symbols; there is mostly speculation. It's kind of like trying to break a code.

I also say "hooray for another series."

:-)

Awesome new series! I hope this is the first of many.

Thanks, Al. Actually, it's the second of many. :-)

:) Nice one.
