Explains Indus Script hieroglyphs on Karen and Dongson Bronze Drums.

I have posited 1) an Ancient Maritime Tin Route through Indian Ocean which linked the largest tin belt of the globe in Ancient Far East with Ancient Near East through ancient Meluhha; and 2) that over 8000 inscriptions of Indus Script are wealth-accounting ledgers, metalwork catalogues. It is significant that Indus Scrit hypertexts are used on Dong Son/Karen Bronze drums. https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tmQQ_-YoNzA/WVr-yq6D8fI/AAAAAAABHSU/6OMrig4CVy00ZRWXht0OGFS2RwKzQFgBwCLcBGAs/s1600/dongson.jpg This image shows Indus Script hypertexts of frog, peacock, elephant, tree on the bronze drum -- all of which signify metalwork catalogues reinforcing the Munda-Mon-Khmer links with shared vocabulary of the Tin-Bronze revolution..
