Indus Valley

The Indus Valley Civilization was a remarkable ancient society that thrived between 2500 and 1900 BCE in what is now Pakistan and northwest India. Known for its advanced urban planning, it featured well-designed cities like Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa, with organized streets, drainage systems, and public baths. The civilization engaged in trade, agriculture, and had a unique script that remains undeciphered. Its decline is still debated, but factors like climate change and invasions may have played a role. The Indus Valley is crucial for understanding early human development and cultural achievements in South Asia.
