Our Goal: Project Nobel Prize for India

One of the Mankind's first Literatures is now completely deciphered and analyzed

The great Origin of the Indian and Pakistani Civilizations in original Texts

"I've always said that the person who deciphers the Indus Valley Script should get a Nobel Prize. So I hope you'll get yours." (Professor Robert King, University of Texas/USA)

"Regarding the decipherment: It is especially striking that the script is typologically exactly what one would expect, with word signs (logographs) for roots and syllable signs for suffixes. Recent work on Mayan 'hieroglyphs' suggests that this writing was also of the same type, and of course it is basically the Japanese type also." (Professor Paul Hopper, Carnegie Mellon University/USA)

"I fortuitously got hold of your book 'The Inscriptions of the Indus Civilization'. I was taken aback by the presentation and contents of this great book. It is truly a great work of research and toil. If there was any book which showcased the greatest of all civilizations on this planet it is this book, because it depicts the achievements of Indian history in its true light and in a manner where is it not subjective to introspection. I will treasure this bounty until I am reduced to dust. Thank you for such a great piece of art." (An Indian reader)

The great ancient High Culture around 2500 BC The Inscriptions of the Indus Civilization Texts — Deciphering — Contents by Dipl.-Ing. Rainer Hasenpflug ISBN 3-8334-4613-7

One of the biggest Mysteries of World History is now solved!

The Indus Civilization - existing from about 3000 until 1700 BC in today's India and Pakistan - has been the largest known empire of early ancient times. It has been not only larger than those times Sumeria, Egypt, China etc., with what it has been in more or less intensive economic and cultural contact, it also has been standing on the top of the development of the world's culture and civilization. The Indus Civilization created the most advanced cities of those times, build on huge artifical platforms with fortifications made from millions of standardized high quality bricks, and equipped with far developed hygienic water systems, following 'perfect' building plans. The arts, trade, crafts, and agriculture were highly developed. Since the excavations we know the Indus pictures and signs show the great Indian mythology and the human remainings show their Indo-Iranian ancestry. This was then confirmed by newer genetic examinations. This facts were certainly always hard to imagine without using the language of Sanskrit. But the Indus Civilization was still less known because of the illegibility of its sophisticate hieroglyphic inscriptions and thus the lack of extensive information.

Sanskrit Texts from the Rigveda Age with amazing extensive Information!

On the basis of the so called 'pictorial bilinguals' - texts escorted by content related beautiful Indian mythologic pictures - we could then decipher all of the more than 2000 known texts. We discovered that the script is constructed by syllabics and pictograms, the same like the until today scripts used in East Asia. The used language is indeed as expected the well known holy ancient Indian 'Indo-European' language of Vedic Sanskrit, the 'Latin of India'. The texts give innumerable information on the world view of the Indus empire's citizens, on the social life, religion, international conflicts, warfare, economy, linguistics etc. In all details the content matches with the information we have from the famous Rigveda! This proves finally, that the Vedic culture, and with this the great Indian civilization, has its glorious origin not in the later steppe invasion nor in the southern Dravida culture, but in the Indo-Iranian neolithic period. Our work is, since it was published more then twenty years ago, uncontested!

5000 Years of cultural Continuity!

The Indus inscriptions are an invalueable treasure of information on the original Indo-Iranian and world civilization. Experts of many fields, lovers of the concerned nations, of history and culture will find here an exciting reading matter. The people of today India and Pakistan can be proud on their cultural heritage! In fact the Indus Civilization has never disappeared, but it was setting the great starting point for their civilizations as has been existing until today. Especially the great Indian civilization is in straight line the descendand of the Indus Civilization and its achievements. A huge part of today's Indian culture and identity has its glorious origin in the Indus Civilization: languages, mythology, religion, social and cultural life, crafts, traditions etc. The time of questioning and disregarding Indias glorious history and rich mythology should be over now! It is easy now to read for everyone the around 4500 years old original texts from the beginnings of the great Indian and world civilization. To read this is a great experience for sure - not only, but especially, for everyone who likes India.

Further, the original Texts of the Indus Civilization give Answers as well about:

• the beginning of global civilization
• the rise and the historic basis of urban societies
• the historic basis of traditions like the Vedas
• the reason for the invention of writing
• the meaning of metaphors in ancient and modern languages
• the meaning and origin of worldwide symbols used up to now

The book is laid out in a consequential, objective and non-selective, logical and scientific method, but with high-grade understandability. The fantastic utopias of some authors in the past are rejected here by the inscriptions themselves. But the reality is much more amazing.
The book is produced in high quality, size A4, 408 pages, paperback, and with many illustrations. Content: deciphering, deciphering manuscript with depicted original texts, analysis of the contents.
