Mihiragarh or Mehrangarh. Melhua or Mihirasa (or as Mi-Ta-Ra-Sa)??
Garh means home. But check the first term "mehr" vs "mihir". Did half crack Europeans twisted words to derive different meaning?
Just read, "Mehrangarh" as "Mihirgarh"....you get to see lot of meaning. It is probably the origin of sun worship or "moolasthan". "Mihir" in Sanskrit means "sun". "Mihiragarh" means "home of sun" or "Abode of sun", another name for "Moolasthan". There is no meaning to "mehar", it is an invented word by europeans. These half crack Europeans, twisted "mihiravali" as "mehrauli" in Delhi also. The place was known as mihiravali (residence of mihir, because famous Indian astronomer varaha mihir resided there). Prakrit "Mihir" is also referred to as Mitra in rigvedic Sanskrit. Mitra has become "Moitra" in Bengali. So Sanskrit word twisting is quite common when pronounciation becomes difficult. "Mitra" of sanskrit became "Maitreya" in Buddhism. "Mitraism" of Greeks.
Now coming back to the cross reference seal of Harappans found in mesopotamia (2nd picture). This famous "shu-ilishu" seal is now housed in luvre museum at Paris. This round seal is deciphered to contain a word called "melhua". This word meluha is deciphered from the cuniform text and it's understanding. The word is widely believed to represent Indus people. But it is an interpretation..it need not point to entire Indus valley people, but could very well point to "mihirghar".
It raises the important question, was Vedic "mihir" written as "melhua" in cuniform? Did the word transmigrate over many centuries? Alternately we could be reading "Mi-Hi-Ra-Sa" or "Mi-Ta-Ra-Sa" as "Melhua" from the wrong understanding of cuniform language (or intentional misrepresentation)?? The difference is very very marginal, but can twist and concoct a whole story/truth.
Melhua is wrongly read. It is a composition of 4 symbols. The symbols are "𒈨𒈛𒄩𒆠").
The first letter is clearly "Mi" and not "Me". That gives out the plot of half crack Europeans.
Read using the original Cuniform alphabet table. "𒈨𒈛𒄩𒆠" reads as "Mi-Hi-Sa-Sa" or "Mi-Hi-Ta-Sa" or as "Mi-Hi-Ra-Sa" or as "Mi-Ta-Ra-Sa" depending on the alphabet set you use.
I have given the alphabet set and letters clearly identified.
Letter "Mi" = "𒈨"
Letter "Ta"= "𒈛"
Letter "Ra" = "ð’„©"
This letter is identified as "Sa". But "Sa" has a different symbol too. Contextually, it is to be interpreted as "Ra".
Letter "Sa" = "ð’† "
Till now "𒈨𒈛𒄩𒆠" these 4 letters are read as 3 letter word "Me-Luh-Ha". The letter to letter match is not there. It is pure concoction.
So the 4 symbols, "𒈨𒈛𒄩" actually matches letter to letter and reads as "Mi-Ta-Ra-Sa" or as "Mitrasa".
So the seal of "shu-ilishu" reads "Mitrasa". This is a big thing. Because, it indicates the region of "Mitra" existed in the Indus region and it was known to Mesopotamians. Since the word "Mitra" has an origin in Vedas,, Vedic texts were also available to Harappan by that time itself. Sanskrit / prakrit was the spoken language of Harappans. Harappan or saraswati-Indus valley civilisation is the same as the Vedic civilisation of Bharath.
Now this establishes the identity of Indus civilisation people. They were called "Mitrasa" or "Mitra / sun worshippers" in their contemporary times. So we should end the confusion of naming ancient Indian civilisation as Harappa-Mahenjodaro or Indus-Saraswati Valley civilisation and call using the original name, "Mitra Civilisation".
