the indus valley civilization the over view

This is arguably one of the oldest known civilization of the world. one being contemprary to the babylonean and ancient chinese.

but two things diferentiate this civilization fron the others-

1. the expand of this cilization

2. the technological advance of this civilization

 

as for the expance - well it was from iran to banks of ganga. also it had at least 3 major river sustems feeding it-

1.indus(sindhu)

2.sarawati

3.ganges(ganga)

 

of which sarwati was the source of greenry to the place what is pretty much thar desert today.

 

the best part is that people in this vast expance were all connected, had a civil life, new architecture ( of at least 2 story buildings) , had paved roads, a covered drainage system....

 

the time of this civilization is very much disputed.

we do know it ended by 1500 BC and lasted for more than a 1000 years. but when it cane to existance renmains disputed. with some claims as back as to 6000 BC ( mostly to about 3100BC) we dont know when these people started.
