Interesting historical fact: the malted milk biscuit, one of the finest of teatime snacks, has its origins in the ancient civilisation of the Indus Valley.

Would be my best shot.

Raymond Allchin states that there is a powerful argument against the idea that the #Brahmi script has Semitic borrowing because the whole structure and conception is quite different. He suggests that the origin may have been purely indigenous with the Indus script as its predecessor.[76] However, Allchin and Erdosy later in 1995 expressed the opinion that there was as yet insufficient evidence to resolve the question.[77] G.R. Hunter in his book The Script of #Harappa and #Mohenjodaro and Its Connection with Other Scripts (1934) proposed a derivation of the Brahmi alphabets from the #IndusScript, the match being considerably higher than that of #Aramaic in his estimation.[78]
