The Influence of Egyptian Hieroglyphics on the Indus Script

Jeyakumar Ramasami

Abstract: Many Indus script symbols resemble Egyptian hieroglyphs, and there is a close connection between these two writing systems. Egyptian priests, scribes, and those from Sumer and Vedic traditions likely contributed to the development of the Indus script. The Indus symbols show a composite culture of all three great civilisations. It was a mixed culture 3500 years ago, but scholars are unnecessarily quarrelling over that legacy as Aryan and Dravidian civilisations.

Keywords: Indus script, Egyptian hieroglyphics, logographic writing, symbol comparison, ancient rituals
