THE SIGN BOARD TEXT OF "DHOLAVIRA". the time was passing slowly - t   Message List

Dear friends of Science, Archaeology, History and Astronomy,

THE SIGN BOARD TEXT OF "DHOLAVIRA". the time was passing slowly - there was a
lightning-blow. The destruction caused may have brought the meaning to
'destructive', then to 'vile'.

This means that there has been fall of big meteors and not the actual lightening
as word expectations. The destruction and as the time was not passing means they
were waiting for some particular incidence to happen ! but what? may be they
were waiting for the Sunrise in the morning but due to the destruction caused by
the Falls of meteors that have created sky covered with the dust and there was
no sun rise for many months. So their time was not passing and TIME WAS SO SLOW
for waiting for the Sun rise. which proves that Kutch Saraswati civilisation
were destroyed by the Meteor impacts in the Kutch and so Luna craters and other
craters in the Rann Of the Kutch are in fact the true signs of those incidence
of the Meteor impact before +3000BC. and Egyptian crater in SW Egypt 24K size is
responsible for the destruction of Egypt civilisation which was known as
"MUDRAYa" - (Sanskrit word) at that time.

13. THE SIGN BOARD TEXT OF "DHOLAVIRA".

The text runs from left to right with the following signs : 391- 256- 327- 391-
261- 134- 98-391-391-53. Some people read 134 as 124, but elsewhere it never
makes any pair either with 261 or with 98.Therefore, it is 134. The text may be
read thus: ci re pau ci ca i pa ci ci bha. There are 5 groups, each of two
syllables; namely :

(i) ci re reflecting in the Vedic adverb cire "for a long time".

(ii) pau ci reflecting in the dialectal poc "vile, wicked".

(iii) ca i has contracted to ce in a Tantric formula "cAmuNDAyai
vic-ce".

(iv) pa ci reflecting in the verb pac "to cook".

(v) ci bha reflecting in the dialectal verb cibh "to crush under the
teeth".

Based on these reflections,

the clause ci re may mean : the time was passing slowly.

pau (wind) ci (be) may mean : there was a storm. The destruction caused by
the storm may have brought the meaning to 'destructive', then to 'vile'.

ca (light) i (move) is doubtful, but it is perhaps some kind of blessing.

pa ci refers to some fiery accident, and means : there was a conflagration.

ci (be) bha (light) means : there was a lightning-blow.



Dholavira

Excavation
The ancient site at Dholavira (23.88° N 70.22° E), is flanked by two storm water
channels; the Mansar in the north, and the Manhar in the south. The site,
discovered in 1960s, is the fifth largest Harappan site in the Indian
subcontinent, and has been under excavation almost continuously sunce 1990 by
the Archaeological Survey of India.

The excavations of the site were initiated in 1989 by the Archaeological Survey
of India under the direction of Dr. R. S. Bisht. The excavation brought to light
the sophisticated urban planning and architecture, and unearthed large numbers
of antiquities such as seals, beads, animal bones, gold, silver, terracotta
ornaments and vessels linked to Mesopotamia. Archaeologists believe that
Dholavira was an important centre of trade between settlements in south Gujarat,
Sindh and Punjab and Western Asia.


City
Estimated to be older than the port-city of Lothal, the city of Dholavira has a
rectangular shape and organization, and is spread over 100 hectares. The area
measures 771.10 metres in length, and 616.85 metres in width. Like Harappa and
Mohenjo-Daro (Pakistan), the city is composed to a pre-existing geometrical
plan, of three divisions - the citadel, the middle town and the lower town. The
acropolis and the middle town had been further furnished with their own
defence-work, gateways, built-up areas, street system, wells and large open
spaces. The acropolis is the most carefully guarded as well as impressive and
imposing complex in the city of which it appropriates the major portion of the
southwestern zone. The towering "castle" stands majestically in fair insulation
and defended by double ramparts. The city within the general fortification
accounts for 48 hectares. There are extensive structure-bearing areas though
outside yet intimately integral to the fortified settlement. Beyond the walls,
yet another settlement has been found.


One of the unique features of Dholavira is the sophisticated water conservation
system of channels and reservoirs, the earliest found anywhere in the world, and
of which three are exposed. They were used for storing the fresh water brought
by rains or to store the water diverted from a nearby rivulet. This probably
came in wake of the desert climate and conditions of Kutch, where several years
may pass without rainfall.

Burial system
The variety of burial styles suggests a diverse population. A "signboard" inlaid
with large symbols in the untranslated Indus script was discovered near one of
the entrances to the citadel.


Historical sign board
One of the most significant discoveries at Dholavira was made in one of the side
rooms of the northern gateway of the city. The Harappans had arranged and set
pieces of gypsum (a kind of mineral) to form ten large letters on a big wooden
board. At some point of time the board fell down flat on its face. The wood
decayed, but the arrangement of the letters survived. It is still not known what
the sign says as the system of writing or script of the Harappans has not yet
been deciphered.


Language and calligraphy
Indus Valley Seals. The first one shows a Swastika, a prominent symbol in
Hinduis.
It is not known for sure what language the Harappan people spoke, and their
script cannot yet be read. Still, a few things are known about their system of
writing. The Harappan script seems to have had about 400 basic signs, with many
variations. The signs probably stood both for words and for syllables. The
direction of the writing was generally from right to left. Most of the
inscriptions are found on seals (mostly made out of stone) and sealings (pieces
of clay on which the seal was pressed down to leave its impression). Some
inscriptions are also found on copper tablets, bronze implements, and small
objects made of terracotta, stone and faience. The seals were probably used in
trade and also for official administrative work. So the Harappans seem to have
used writing mainly for these sorts of things. A lot of the inscribed material
was found at Mohenjo Daro.

Road are good till Rapar town; from there the road to Dholavira is two lanes.
The best time to visit is November to March.
