Guest guest Posted August 22, 2001 Report Share Posted August 22, 2001 Mlecchita Vikalpa is one of the 64 arts described in Va_tsya_yana's Ka_masu_tra (Ch.3). It refers to the decoding of cypher, or study of pictographic writing. Mleccha in Sanskrit means `copper'; milakku in Pali means `copper'. URUDU-MELUHHA mentioned in Sumerian texts refers to copper from Meluhha. Luhha may also mean, washed, refined copper. The texts refer to exchange of copper and tin between Sarasvati Sindhu Valley Civilization and Mesopotamian Civilization. The understanding of mlecchita vikalpa starts in the context of the bronze-age culture mentioned in the R.gveda and evident from archaeological discoveries of 2,600 archaeological sites, most of which are on the banks of River Sarasvati adored in the R.gveda. Some keys to decode the script of the civilization are based on a monograph presented at the Second International Conference of Asian Scholars, Berlin on Aug. 9, 2001.
