The Anatolian tradition

The Indus Script had its roots in ancient Anatolia as illustrated by the images given below.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%87atalh%C3%B6y%C3%BCk

Seated goddess(bhadra-virgin,king,gold,bull,elephant,hill,stone,auspiciousness cf. goddess BhadrakaaLi) on a throne(aasana-seat) flanked by two lionesses(simha-lion,garja-roar,garta-throne,Garuda-garta of Vishnu,saya-bed,simha-leo-Deo-king) indicate simhaasana(throne of king)-bhadraasana(throne of king)-raajaasana(seat of king) from Catalhoyuk.

Scientist's found the world's oldest erotic picture - an image of a 12,000-year-old erect penis.

→ Bhadraasana(throne).Simha/bhadra is replaced by a patra-bird-hamsa-swan cf.raajahamsa-royal swan or garuda to show garta-throne

Sayana (aasana-seat) is syena(kite).

Saya(sayya-bed)→jaya(victory)→jaaya(wife)→yasa(wealth;yasa sariira-dead and famous)→sava(a corpse)→siva(auspiciousness)→saaya(evening,arrow)

saya→sa→Ya→S→Y (sayana→aasana→female genitals) → → → →

→ → → Y/s

The scorpion( druuNa-throne) is Y.

Page 13: The Indus Script-Its Origin,Readings and Final Evolution

→ Sanliurfa museum, God of Reproduction. http://www.turkeyforholidays.com/Gobeklitepe-tour.html

The hand too is saya and hence yasa-wealth.

The scorpion(druuNa-Drona-sroNa-throne naaga-snake,aasana-seat) which is headless agrees with the kabandha or sroNa/sroNi-a headless body indicating aasana or throne on patra(leaf,bird,writ;bhadra-gold,tiger,king,elephant,girl,wheel,head) or hamsa(swan,sankha-conch;hamsa→ha-heaven,aasana-seat cf.the seat of the sungod is the heavens and the seat of the god king is the throne) / simha(lion,tiger cf.Leo is the heavens;simha→jina-sun,ha-sky) or linga(phallus/palace).Gaatra(the body,karsha,garta-throne) and harsha(sikhara-erection,crest) is hamsa/ garuda-winged man→king/ garta-throne.In another portrait the erected phallus is held in the hands to indicate harsha-erection, garta-throne , harta-the sun and karsha-paNa-money,praise(garta/harsha paNa-praise to the throne/palace; karsha paNa-money showing praise to the throne and price decided by the throne).PaNa(hand, praise) is saya(hand,sex).Sisna(phallus,naaga-phaNa-snake,baaNa-arrow,vana-leaf,paNa-

hand) , indicate saasana(command,daana-gift).

Compare this with the Kalibangan seals

K- 065a and K-50

where the druuNa/vriscika-scorpion is replaced by a tarunii(woman) and druma(tree,cf vriksha-tree,vriscika-scorpion).

The scorpion(druuNa →droNa-archer,sroNa-buttocks/throne,druma-tree),the

bow and arrow(druuNa,bali ,paNa , ),the peepul leaf(asvattha patra ),the

tuft(cuuda,kuuta→suura-the sun), suura-svar-garja-tiger-lion,the tree(dru-svar),the

unicorn(bhadraasva or bhadra vrishabha or bhadra naaga or mahaabhadra ) etc. point to the

Bharadvaaja(Bharata-Deva- DroNa-throne) clan and its spread from Anatolia to the IVC .

bhadra(pa)asana(panca-5) karsha paNa(panca-5,matsa-fish,hasta-hand,masta-head,dasma-lord) =Royal money of 5 karsha weight

Hence 5 svarNa karsha paNa=5 gold karsha paNa or

paNa + gaja(elephant)=pankaja;wheel=aksha

Hence

pankaja aksha karsha paNa

The Indus inscriptions mostly contain terms like paNa(praise,price,barter,prize,chess)/panca(five)/karsha

(weight)/nishkarsha(tax,value)/raaja(king)/suvarNa(gold)/

bhadraasana (throne) etc.

Cf. www.harappa.com/indus/89.html

Bhadraasana(deity’s posture) pa(bhadra=pa=king)-na(nara=nri)-ca(suula-spear) karsha(gras/graaha-croc)=of the throne-5-karsha paNa

A royal golden proof to the language of the Indus script.

This is svar(the sun,sky)-na(gem,like).SvarNa is hiraNya(hariNa-gold).HiraNya is

bhadra(king,bull,elephant,gold).Bhadra’s aasana(seat) is bhadraasana(throne).So if is seen on

Page 17: The Indus Script-Its Origin,Readings and Final Evolution

an aasana it is bhadraasana .Now note , , , , etc. indicating

bhadraasana(simhaasana-throne,throne of svarNa-gold).Similarly note hiraNya with aksha(snake,eye,wheel) making HiraNyaaksha (gold money)/raaja(king)/panca(five) in

, , , etc.

Note that ka(head, ) is sa(bird,god cf.ears are wings) or pa(king ) .

Shekel is karsha

Shekel (8.33 gr.) is almost identical in weight to the karsha(9.03 gr.).

Karsha is karaja(digits)/ panca(five) .Panca is garja(roar), garta(throne) and simha(leo/deo)/sarpa(snake). Simha(lion,tiger) is kamsa(cup),gunja(abrus), sankha(conch), sankhya(number), hamsa( swan).

Nishkarsha→nishka→nose(nakra-gharial,nose) money

paNa(soundcf.sabda-pataha-drum) and garja(gharsha,karsha) cf. , , .Hence the drum is shown with the tiger(garja-karsha) in H-182.

Parda(hair) is bhadra(king,gold) and karsha.Hence the hair is seen to raise on arms of deities( so called bangles),the back of elephants,the neck of bulls and unicorns etc. to indicate karsha

by harsha( rise of hair,sex organs,hands,feet etc.).

Gala(neck;paNa/kara/kala) being seat of bhadra(head/king) is bhadraasana like the tree.

Hence the neck of bulls/unicorns carry paNa marks .

DTIS page 219.M-489B.Astanding human couple in sexual intercourse;two goats eating leaves from a tree;a bird and a three-headed animal. What is the relation of sex to goat,bird and three headed animal?

The three(tra) headed(ka) and threebodied animals show garta,gaatra,karsha, mushka etc.Karsha is harsha(sex or erection of sex organs or hair).Karsha is

ka(head)-tra(three) and karaja(fingers,claws).Karaja(harija-horizon;hara-fire,ja-born→aya-fire,ja-born→ayas-gold,copper→aja-ram→sa-god,bird,snake) is born from kara-hand,tax/hara-fire,ass.Kara is saya(sex,hand,snake cf.the original sin.Kaama is naaga-snake→nagna-naked→naaNaka-coin→gaNana-count). Surata(sex) is puruda(gold).Saya is sa(bird,god,snake) and aja(goat) , usha(dawn,udaya-sunrise→u-saya) and ayas(gold,copper,bronze).Patraasana(eating leaves) by aja(goat,eka-1) or sasa(hare ;sata-100,dasa-10 cf.C2B7 from Mohenjo-daro) indicate Aja/Sasa bhadraasana.PaNa (saya-hand,sex) is money . 2 Mesha is 2 maasha.Pan is sound and sexual intercourse(cf.buck and fuck).Count(cf.Mal.cuuntu-to point) is sound(cf.Mal.cuntu-lips).Counting with the pointed index finger and gunja/maasha/sankha is making sanga(sex) with the erected linga(the pointed index finger and the fist is the erected linga and the mushka).

Hence this indicates karsha/gold -2 maasha/ayas-bhadraasana-sa/patra-karsha(ka-tra). .

It is attested as Dimašqa in Akkadian, T-ms-ḳw in Egyptian, Dammaśq (דמשק) in Old Aramaic and Dammeśeq (דמשק) in Biblical Hebrew.

The evolution of the Indus script.

http://www.ancientscripts.com/brahmi.html

Brahmi script

There are several theories pointing to the origin of Brahmi .One school holds it to have originated from west semitic.Another school believes it to have come from southern semitic.A third school considers it to have originated indigenously from the Indus script.The script is attested by the 5th century BCE.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brāhmī_script

Scholars, such as F. Raymond Allchin, G. R. Hunter etc. details out the derivation of the Brahmi alphabets from the Indus Script.This hypothesis is slowly gaining momentum because of the sheer differences between how Semitic alphabets work and how Brahmi works for an Indo-Aryan language .

Dr. Subhash kak showed that the Brahmi script evolved from the Indus script.

http://www.ece.lsu.edu/kak/IndusFreqAnalysis.pdf

http://www.ece.lsu.edu/kak/writ.pdf

Page 65: The Indus Script-Its Origin,Readings and Final Evolution

http://www.digitorient.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/AlphabetDiogène%20.pdf

Western scholars believe that Brahmi evolved from the proto-Sinaitic/ Phoenician script which in turn evolved from Egyptian hieroglyphs based on the acrophonic principle.

But presently we can see that the Phoenician script itself evolved from the logosyllabic Indus script which itself evolved from the early pictographic writing system of the Anatolian Aryans.

The primary scripts are three as sa(god),pa(wind,bha-light),ra(fire) is svara(the sun,sound),vrisha(Indra,bull) and bhaarata(speech,fire).

The rigveda states that the vankris(ribs cf. girvaana →vankri) of

the sacrificial asva(vac-word,speech,bhaasha-language; saptaasva-sabda –vac-voice,the sun) are

34.ribs (34 consonants)<<RV:1.162.18>>

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigma

sigma=simha=lion/tiger=panca=5

History

The shape and alphabetic position of Sigma is derived from Phoenician shin .

Etymology

The name of sigma, according to one theory,[1] may continue that of Phoenician Samekh. According to a different theory,[2] its original name may have been "San" (the name today associated with another, obsolete letter), while "Sigma" was a Greek innovation that simply meant "hissing", based on a nominalization of a verb σίζω (sízō, from earlier *sig-jō, meaning 'I hiss').

The samek evolved from the simha-tiger and the sa svar-suura-paana-paNa of the Harappan.

Phoenician was usually written from right to left, although there are some texts written in boustrophedon. Like the Indus script which is the vedic style.

Page 67: The Indus Script-Its Origin,Readings and Final Evolution

When the Phoenician alphabet was first uncovered in the 19th century, its origins were unknown. Scholars at first believed that the script was a direct variation of Egyptian hieroglyphs

The Proto-Sinaitic alphabet was in use from ca. 1850 BC in the Sinai by Canaanite speakers .
