Summary
A groundbreaking interdisciplinary study proposes that the undeciphered Indus script encodes administrative and trade systems, with Sign 391 ('Fire Wheel') marking celestial events linked to Bronze Age catastrophic impacts. The research identifies a synchronous cluster of five impact craters (e.g., Kaali in Estonia) dated to ~4200 years ago, correlating with the collapse of multiple ancient civilizations—including the Indus Valley—and climate disruptions like megadroughts. It also links these events to the Taurid meteor swarm's 7:2 Jupiter resonance cycle, predicting a close Earth encounter in 2028 (not 2032). Methodologically, it introduces the 'Looting Bias Principle' to address archaeological biases and a three-tier certainty framework for interpreting ancient texts. The study suggests cultural narratives like the Kalevala and Ragnarök may preserve memories of these impacts.
