The archeological findings on Indus valley
civilisation reveal the origin and discovery of various sciences and artifacts
required for the then human kind. One such significant revelation is the
invention of script for communication by those ancient Indians. lnspite
of its incomplete findings and understanding in the present time, the great
scientific approach in the formation of scripts by those early human beings
can not be neglected or shadowed. Conversion of the unorganised form of
dialects into alphabets & written scripts by them was not just arbitrarily
deciphered, rather it was an act of their applied mind to a very advanced
or thoughtful science called Epigraphy. In the present paper an attempt
is made to correlate the possible scientific consideration such as principle
of soundwaves, conservation of space and time, compression and expansion,
reproductivity of a communicating system that might have been viewed during
the creation of alphabets and scripts by the people of ancient India.
