Veiled Murders: The City of Victory - Kamakshi Pappu Murti - Bog

Bag om Veiled Murders: The City of Victory

Hieroglyphics and cuneiform have restored lost civilizations to us. One ancient civilization, however, has defied archaeologists and has remained beyond their reach: the 4,500 year-old Indus Valley in the Indian sub-continent. Sarasvati Desikan-Raman and Gordon Sutherland, the great-grandchildren of the archaeologists who worked on the site of the Indus Valley in the 1920s of our era, take up the search, undaunted by this awe-inspiring history of impossible dreams. They accompany archaeologist Galina Bogdanova and forensic anthropologist Warad-mur-raman to the ancient ruins of Hampi in South India, ruins that might reveal clay tablets chronicling - in cuneiform and the Indus script - the life and violent death of Sai-an-ki, priestess queen of the Great Adorers, a cult that worships the Sumerian goddess Inanna. Will they find the tablets and unlock the secrets of that 4,500 year-old civilization?
