There is also probably a evidence of an even earlier era of this civilization which was submerged as sea levels rose at the end of the last ice age.

Thanks for the heads-up on the latest dating from South Asia.

You know the guys in India want to push this back another couple of thou somewhere ~ because that period will have a much lower sea level and an ancient Indian hero will be able to step across rocks from Mahabarat to Sri Lanka with ease ~ or toss a rock over the narrow waters.

Still, this is impressive, if correct and certainly raises the thesis that some modern languages, e.g. hungarian and estonian, have a dravidian component in the background derived through ancient Sumer.

Fascinating, if true.

The Harappan Civilization is one of the ancient world’s most puzzling mysteries; much of the mystery is due to its proximity to the Indus River, such that the water table inhibits excavation.
