Unreliable date[edit]

The date of 1500 bce is more than tentative; it is not based on sound scientific principles. Jayaswal's reason for the date, in his own words, is "The writing is certainly older than the earliest specimen of Brahmi known so far; and Brahmi was completed before 1500 B.C." This is circular reasoning (why must it be older than Brahmi? Because he decided it's transitional from Harrappan to Brahmi, just from appearance.). He also gives Brahmi itself a date 1000 years earlier than the earliest I have seen elsewhere on Wikipedia, let alone any of my University archaeology textbooks. 2601:441:4400:1740:3177:7AD6:4BF8:3864 (talk) 19:44, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
