The problems of Archaeological interpretation are perhaps most evident in the attempts to reconstruct religious practices of Harappans. Explain?

Answer»

Solution : The objects found in the EXCAVATION in Harappa seem like Hindu God and Goddesses. Archaeologists used the concept of known to unknown that is present to past to relate the things with Hindu deities. Some examples are:
(i) Terracotta figurines of women, heavy jewelled with elaborate head dresses.
(ii) Stone statuory of men which is seated with ONE hand on the knee-such as priest king.
(iii) Great Bath and fire ALTARS found in the Kalibangan and Lothal.
(iv) Some animals depicted on seals such asunicorn one-horned animal seem to be mythical, composite creatures.
(v) Some seales showing the figure of cross legged in a logic posture surrounded by animals regarded as depiction of proto Shiva.
(VI) Rudra in the Rigveda neither depicted as Pashupati nor as a yogi. This depiction does not match with Shiva.So, these statutory bodies were not the men or women, some SCHOLARS suggest that they were be Shaman possibly
