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