AI Just Decoded the Lost Language of the Indus Valley Civilization — And Experts Are Stunned

For over a century, the Indus Valley script—used by one of history’s most advanced civilizations—has defied translation. No Rosetta Stone. No bilingual texts. Just four thousand inscriptions, most with only four to five symbols. Now, deep neural networks are revealing patterns instead of words. With up to ninety-five percent accuracy, they’re finding the script behaves more like a code than a language. It may be the oldest form of data compression—a hint that this civilization preserved knowledge in a radically different way.
