Harappan Sites

Harappan sites refer to the archaeological remains of the Indus Valley Civilization, which flourished around 2500 BCE in present-day Pakistan and northwest India. Key sites include Harappa and Mohenjo-daro, known for their advanced urban planning, including grid-like streets, sophisticated drainage systems, and large public baths. The civilization was notable for its trade, craft production, and use of standardized weights and measures. The script and language of the Harappans remain undeciphered, adding mystery to their culture. The decline of the civilization around 1900 BCE is still a subject of research and debate among historians.
