Remember a couple of years ago, someone "proved" that the Indus Valley texts did not contain writing? That really cracked me up.

Judging by the cup and the bottom...

In fact... I wonder if that whole text is about Soma — and if the plant on it is the mystery plant which was pressed for its juice.

It’s unclear whether the Indus Valley symbols are a form of true writing, or an icon-type symbol set that communicates a limited range of messages. The reason some experts suspect the latter is that no inscription containing more than a couple dozen symbols has ever been found.
