from a story about the same work, from The Hindu:
![Indus civilisation reveals its volumetric system](http://www.hindu.com/2009/11/15/images/2009111556932202.jpg) |
The three pots from Harappa with volumetric inscriptions on them. Calculations indicate that the Indus volumetric system is based on multiples of 9.24 litres. (Below) A reconstruction of broken bangles from the Moneer area of Mohenjo-Daro. The number of reconstructed bangles (17) matches the number from the sealing text on the pot that had the broken bangles inside. The other photo shows Indus fish signs. |

Some of the writing was deciphered and mentioned “those d**n derivatives are screwing up our financial markets again”. Quite sophisticated...
