The Indus Valley script remains indecipherable

I have reported on the Indus Valley script quite a few times on here, but not for a while now. Why?
Because the script is still undeciphered!
The Indus Valley civilisation, according to the mainstream view, started around 2600 BC and was supposedly where the Hindu religion first formed.
I have always maintained that the Indus Valley civilisation is much older than 5,000 years, and could be at least 10,000 years old. Recently, another article (which I posted here) was released in which a very large stone carving of Lord Hanuman and Lord Rama, from the Hindu epic the Ramayana, was found in Iraq and dated to 6,000 years ago. This carved stone shows quite adequately a fully-formed religion already in place, thus taking the origins of Hinduism back 1,400 years earlier than the accepted date of the beginning of the Indus Valley civilisation.
Although that carved stone was located in Iraq, its origins, or at least the origins of the religion, most definitely began in pre-1947 India.
Sooner or later we should start to see excavations confirming not only a much older Hindu religion – the oldest on the planet – but also a much older Indus Valley civilisation. I think it’s possible that “civilisation” itself started in India, long before Greece, and if we take into consideration the site at Gobekli Tepe (9600 BC) then we could be dealing with a civilisation in excess of 15,000 years old. The offshore site at Dwarka (not to be confused with the second offshore site north of the modern city) is a likely candidate, and some people think it could be as much as 30,000 years old, although conservative estimates put a date of 12,000 years on the site as that was when it was last above water.
Basically, there’s a reason the Indus Valley script hasn’t been deciphered – it’s very old indeed.
