Consider the following statements regarding the nature and layout of the Indus Valley Civilisation script:
1. The script is predominantly pictographic and logo-syllabic, written using the 'Boustrophedon' method, which alternates direction from right-to-left and left-to-right in consecutive lines.
2. A large inscription containing ten massive Harappan logograms, widely dubbed as a billboard or signboard, was excavated inside the fortified gates of Rakhigarhi.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Question

Accepted Answer

Statement 1 is correct; the script remains undeciphered but its layout is definitely proven to be Boustrophedon. Statement 2 is incorrect because the famous ten-character giant inscription or signboard was excavated at Dholavira (Gujarat), not Rakhigarhi.
