What is Tamil Brahmi? Isn't Brahmi the script for early Prakrit language/dialects?

Tamil Brahmi is an adaptation of early Brahmi as far as I know. The real prize is the deciphering of the Indus script. Sounds like Mahadevan isn't there yet.

Complete deciphering of Indus script might not happen, unless someone discovers a "Rosetta" like stone for that script.
