Answer 1

The Harappan script is called enigmatic because it remains undeciphered. Despite numerous attempts, scholars have not been able to fully decode it, which makes it mysterious. The script consists of pictographs and symbols, but the lack of a bilingual inscription and the absence of direct knowledge about the language make it difficult to understand.
