Harappan Culture

Harappan Culture, also known as the Indus Valley Civilization, flourished around 2500 to 1900 BCE in what is now modern-day Pakistan and northwest India. It is notable for its advanced urban planning, featuring well-organized cities like Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, with sophisticated drainage systems, standardized weight measurements, and trade networks. The inhabitants engaged in agriculture, pottery, and metallurgy. Despite its achievements, the civilization's decline remains a mystery, but factors like climate change and resource depletion may have played a role. The Harappan legacy is integral to understanding early human societies in South Asia.
