   Huff and puff as he might, he cann't connect indus cultures with vedic age.   
   When the vedic nomads started coming into s. asia, the indus cultures had   
   come and gone.   
      
   Twist and turn, he cann't make those symbols, be they a script or not, have   
   any connection to sanskrit.   
      
   Metal working was introduced into s. asia from middle east where first   
   originated.  Any of the symbols connected with metal working likely   
   ooriginated in middle east and were borrowed.  That is if his guesses are   
   corrrect.
