Lost Cities of the Indus

The Lost Cities of the Indus refer to the ancient urban centers of the Indus Valley Civilization, which flourished around 2500 BCE in present-day Pakistan and northwest India. Key cities like Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro featured advanced architecture, sophisticated drainage systems, and a script that remains undeciphered. This civilization was notable for its trade, urban planning, and seemingly egalitarian society. Over time, it declined for reasons still debated, including climate change and resource depletion. These cities give us critical insights into early human civilization and its complexities.
