   If the indus symbols are a script it has no connection to the later vedic   
   age.  The arrival of the first evidence of the vedic nomadic cattle herders   
   occurred after the time the indus complex culture had come and gone.   
      
   Indian computer experts considering the indus symbols concluded they have   
   patterns more like middle east and dravidian scripts then any sanskrit   
   script.   
      
   Despite the wishful hope of the self glory seekers, sanskrit has no   
   demonstrated connection to the indus symbols in any manner.
