The Indus Valley

The Indus Valley was an ancient civilization that thrived around 2500 BCE in what is now Pakistan and northwest India. It was known for its well-planned cities like Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, featuring advanced drainage systems, grid-like streets, and uniform brick construction. The society engaged in agriculture, trading, and craft-making, with evidence of a writing system and skilled craftsmanship. Despite its impressive urban planning, much about the civilization remains a mystery due to limited deciphered texts. The Indus Valley Civilization is considered one of the world's earliest and most sophisticated urban societies.
