note, 20 consecutive symbols.

60 random symbols offers too many possibilities. at around 20 symbols, a computer can finnaly begin to produce possible, viable solutions.

i am not trying to be nationalistic here. all i wanted to say is that it is a false premise that Harrapan is dravidian, when the language has not been decifered yet.

No we dont know what happened to them. That's another pain to historians and investigators; no records (translatable) mentions exactly HOW the great cities of the pre-classical Indian civilization came to an end.

They have found similar tablets in Southern India (Harrapan bronze style, but not 100% matching) and they tried to do comparative studies, but the results were very unclear. Well then again, burials haven't always been the best place to look in a place like India...

Well it is the environment, also one way of looking for harappans is through their counting system and weights, we also know they used certian forms of numbers.... the sites founf in the south have been seen as trading posts and colonies, I know archaeologists believe in several theories to Harappan decline, invasion, economic and environmental, they think all these factors and not just one drove the civilisation to an end.

We can only speculate and have to conclude that it must be several factors and not just one. Till more is know it will be hard. Problem is the rate of decompisition ad preservation, for some reason the environment does not help in preserving archaeological remains to allow us to discovered what happend.
