==Symbols similar to the Indus script==
Clay and stone tablets unearthed at Harappa, which were carbon-dated 3300–3200&nbsp;BC, contain trident-shaped and plant-like markings. "It is a big question as to if we can call what we have found true writing, but we have found symbols that have similarities to what became Indus script", said Dr. Richard Meadow of Harvard University, Director of the Harappa Archeological Research Project.<ref name=bbc>{{cite news|last=BBC|first=UK website|title=Earliest writing found|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/334517.stm|work=BBC News|access-date=17 July 2012}}</ref> These primitive symbols are placed slightly earlier than the primitive writing of the Sumerians of [[Mesopotamia]], dated c.3100&nbsp;BC.<ref name=bbc/> These markings have similarities to what later became [[Indus Script]] which has not been completely deciphered yet.<ref name=bbc/>
