2nd Day: The Writing Mystery.
Yep, as you probably read in the title, I started researching education in the IVC. As I had discovered that the Indians had a very complex writing system, I wanted to get out of the shallowness and dig deeper into their past. I found out that archeologists had found almost 4,000 objects with inscriptions, mostly in the main cities of the valley. These objects were predominantly seals, made from faience and soapstone. Curiousely, 60% of these seals had kind of unicorns engraved. Was the mythical creature a god or hero of theirs? We don't know. I know that I can't put all my info up here (a pity), but visit my wikipage for more info!
