Lots of people have claimed to have deciphered the Phaistos disk, but none of the attempts have won acceptance among the experts in Aegean scripts. It will probably never be deciphered unless additional texts using the same system are discovered--the surviving example is just too little material to work with.
Ask some of the Indian freepers here. The Aryan invasion theory is very controversial in India, and has proponents and opponents in other parts of the world.
"The guy is clearly a crackpot. The Indus Valley script cannot be Vedic since they predate the arrival of the Aryan invaders of India."
There most likely were not "Aryan invaders."
"The Indus Valley script cannot be Vedic since they predate the arrival of the Aryan invaders of India."
Was thinking the same thing - I went looking for dates on this story.
As far as I understand it, I don't believe there was an 'Aryan Invasion', either. I think the lost civilization were the refugees from the last round of 'global warming'. And I believe the folks that say the 'Rig Veda', the oldest of the Vedas, in part tells that story.
I believe there was civilization in the Indian subcontinent during the last ice age. When the ice melted, it did so unevenly. There were sudden periods of rapid sea-level rise that wiped out many miles of low-lying lands.
The best telling of the theory I've read about it was in the book Underworld.
I highly reccommend it.
"arrival of the Aryan invaders of India"
Aryan invasion has already long been proven to be a false claim. It got its popularity due to Hitlers propaganda. There is no truth in it.
