Krishna Rao is an Indian archaeologist and writer born in 1930.[citation needed]
He received his master's degree fromAndhra University in 1953, and a postgraduate degree in archaeology in 1967 from theArchaeological Survey of India. For a time, he was in charge of theAmaravathi Museum inAndhra Pradesh, India.[citation needed]
Indus Script Deciphered (1982)[1] was published by Agam Kala Prakashan, Delhi, India.
In this book, Rao noted similarities betweenSumerian pre-cuneiform writing, andIndus script, and proposed that Indus script encodedSanskrit and a number of other languages. Rao theorized that Indus script consisted of ideograms and syllable signs, rather than being a pure syllabary likeBrahmi script.[non-primary source needed]
