The Meru script which is the proto-Indus script known from the symbolic representations among the Harappan seals from the Southeast Asia

The Indus script, also known as the Harappan script, is a corpus of symbols transformed by the Indus Valley Civilisation, but it´s true origin is in hidden among the valleys of eastern Argentina and central Chile in South America. Most inscriptions containing these symbols are extremely short, however they are part of the meru script #Meruscript making its symbols constitute a writing system used to record the as yet unidentified language which we call the Meru language #Merulanguage. Here are some examples:
Above - The Meru script inscription approximately 30 kms NE of the center of modern Mendoza, Argentina. It is a part of the geoartscene which had been built in form of a geoglyph before 40,000 years BP.
By 1977 at least 2,906 inscribed objects with legible inscriptions had been discovered,[19] and by 1992 a total of approx. 4,000 inscribed objects had been found.[7] Indus script symbols have primarily been found on stamp seals, pottery, bronze and copper plates, tools, and weapons.[20] The majority of the textual corpus consists of seals, impressions of such seals, and graffiti markings inscribed on pottery.[21] No extant examples of the Indus script have been found on perishable organic materials like papyrus, paper, textiles, leaves, wood, or bark.[20]
Early Harappan Early examples of the symbol system are found during the Early Harappan period of the Indus civilisation, dated to possibly as early as the 35th century BCE.[22][23] Pottery inscriptions and clay impressions of inscribed Harappan seals have also been found from the Kot Diji phase of the Early Harappan period, dated to c. 2800–2600 BCE.[24]
The first publication of a seal with Harappan symbols dates to 1875 in a drawing by Alexander Cunningham.[6] By 1992 an est. 4,000 inscribed objects had been discovered,[7] some as far afield as Mesopotamia.
And one more proto-Sanskrit example from Peru which pertains to the story of Ramayana, which speaks about the lord Rama and his travel from the modern central Chile towards modern Nicaragua:

Based on Chakana, the sriyantra´s geoglyph and a symbol of a 600 kms diameter could be seen from space near Cordoba, Argentina

The Sriyantra tantric symbol (1) (also called shrichakra ;“wheel of Shri” (2) represented by the geoglyph of 600 km in diameter with the center near Cordoba, Argentina) was etched in the pampas many millenniums before. Its pre-historic age, authorship, purpose, etc. need to be examined since it was created before the writing was used in Egypt or Babilon. The design using lines, canals, ponds, water tanks, etc. which were created at least 40.000 years ago (before last glaciation period). The detailed field inspection by multi-disciplinary team of specialists is necessary to answer some fundamental questions about its origin, age, resaons for its creation, etc. The Sriyantra's 9 constituent triangles vary in size and shape and intersect to form 43 smaller triangles, organized in 5 concentric levels. Together they represent the totality of the cosmos and express Advaita (non-duality) for a meditating follower (3). Early descriptions of Sriyantra exist only in the Vedic tradition, in the oldest text coming to us form the Indus Valley culture. In Brahmavidya (Adyar Library) Subhash Kak argues that the description of Sri Yantra is identical to the yantra described in the Śvetāśvatara Upanisad (3) in 6th century b.C. (4); its earliest version was written in Sanskrit, was translated later into Arabic, and only in the middle of the 19th century it surfaced in major European languages).

In the Shri Vidya school of Hindu tantra, the Sri Yantra (Sanskrit "sacred instrument") is a diagram formed by nine interlocking triangles that surround and radiate out from the central point.

It represents the goddess in her form of Shri Lalita or Tripura Sundari, "the beauty of the three worlds (Heaven, Earth, Hell)". The worship of the Sri Chakra is central to the Shri Vidya system of Hindu worship and is probably the most famous visual image in all of Hindu Tantric tradition. Its literature and practice is perhaps more systematic than that of any other Shakta sect (4). Four isosceles triangles with the apices upwards, representing Shiva (masculine energy) and five isosceles triangles with the apices downward, symbolizing Shakti (feminine energy) are balanced. Its design composed of nine triangles is also known as the Navayoni Chakra.

Moray - identified as a Buddhist 'Tricakra ' not only is the fascinating archeological site.....


Moray is a site located near Cusco, Peru at 3500 meters above sea level (11,500 feet). At first glance it seems to be a kind of an amphitheater, formed of 24 circular platforms, and it is an amphiteatr which has the name of 'tricakra' in Sanskrit, the ancient language of India. The site contains unusual pre-Inca ruins, mostly consisting of several enormous terraced circular depressions, the largest of which is about 30 m (98 ft.) deep; their depth and orientation with respect to wind and sun creates a temperature difference of as much as 15 °C (27 °F) between the top and bottom level.

Tricakra refers to the “three cricles” containing the twenty-four rows of seats designed to be used by twenty-four “sacred girls” (ḍākinīs), according to the 9th-centruy Vajraḍākatantra; list of names of such Ḍākinīs and of their internal seats is given as well as their husbands' names who are called by the text heroes (vīra). Such twenty-four rows of seats form three circles (tricakra) i.e.:— ‘the cicle of mind’ (cittacakra), ‘the circle of word’ (vākcakra), ‘the circle of body’ (kāyacakra). The symbol which represents tricakra is called triskelion and it comes from the art represented by the LlolLeo or Aconcagua cultures from the Central Chile. A triskelion is an element of the banner of the Isle of Man,which was known to Romans; an interesting story is connected to it because speaking of the island, Julius Caesar in his Commentaries says:" In the mid sea between Britannia and Hibernia is an island called Mona." According to the wisdomlib.com 'mona' (nt.) means wisdom; self-possession; silence in the Pali language. Moray was thought to be an Incan agricultural 'research center' where experiments of crops at different heights were carried out, and thus creating different types of microclimates, and possibly it was used as such during last 500 + years. It may have served as a model for the calculation of the agricultural production This large temperature difference was possibly used to study the effects of different climatic conditions on crops; it also has a sophisticated irrigation system.
