Introduction to Cryptography and Cryptograms



We discuss what cryptograms are, how they are solved and how to know if the solution is unique, ie the decipherment is correct. We also show why you cannot solve a cryptogram using the wrong language.

  1. Seriously bro if you cant represent your words and videos in hindi than it will be blessing to many peoples and you and yoir work can reach to many peoples ๐Ÿ™

  2. I really appreciate all the effort you put into deciphering the Indus Valley script.

    Right now the entire peer review system is rigged against us and anything that does not fit their current narrative. How do we beat this system? Till the paper is peer reviewed, the academia and anyone that matters will continue to dismiss your research as pseudoscience.

    Given the current situation, I am wondering if you can partner with few linguists to coauthor this paper so we can get it published and peer reviewed. Can the linguists reverse engineer based on your findings? We need solid support from few good linguists.

    The social media support does not mean much. We are seen as a bunch of Hindu nationalist loonies & that term is used to dismiss any research that does not fit the current narrative. All your hard work and research will be waste if you canโ€™t get this information into text books, that will eventually bridge the north-south divide created by the British colonialists.

    I am sure you also understand the situation & you are also looking at ways to get this peer reviewed. I am not assuming anything – just thinking out loud.

    Thanks again and best wishes ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

  3. I got your paper from academia website, will read it. How did you decipher shlokas from Rigveda without sound values guided by Sunaka pratishakya.
    I don't use X or other social media. Do you have an email to communicate with? Best

  4. Great presentation Yajna Devam Ji

    I have also studied Shannon information theory back in my engineering days.

    Kudos to you in proving Indus Valley Script as Sanskrit and thereby proving its Vedic roots.

  5. I have one difficulty, I was unable to find the translation resources used like the primary dictionary and rigvedic translations. Have you mentioned them anywhere?

  6. I have some question:
    In many places, different allographs have been used to represent same sound in same inscription. Have you found any pattern in this?

    How do you respond to the criticism that Indus script in not a substituion cipher but a more complex cipher/code?

  7. Question for you to think- Your paper have only two things in its favor 1) approval of social media fans 2) historical precedence of relatively modern decipherments. Here we're talking about a 4000 yrs old ancient script. Just as we don't place trust in medications that haven't been evaluated by medical experts, why should we trust your paper, which hasn't undergone scrutiny from professionals?

  8. Nice video and explanation as always. I recently downloaded your paper and noticed that it has undergone revisions in the introduction and translation sections. Any idea when the final, updated and stable version of paper will come?

  9. Thank you for the video. I have a small difficulty in understanding the paper. Requesting you to add a note on how/why acronyms are used and also their full forms in appendix (RV= Rig Veda, Sis,SBr = ?)

  10. Thanks again. I have a suggestion in the paper, specifically Table 3 and Table 5, when readers see the column heading "Sign Meaning" or "Meaning" they might get confused and think the sign actually means this, as with a logographic script.

  11. Thank you for this excellent video๐ŸŽ‰. I have one suggestion for your paper. Can you expand the portion in which IVC script is being deciphered? In the current structure there is introduction to cryptographic methodology and decipherment results, the middle part (application of cryptography on IVS and decipherment process) seems to be a bit blurry and incomplete but that part is most important for a Indus researcher.
