What's Indus River Valley civilization?

Answer 1

It refers to the Harrappan & Mohenjo-Daro agriculturally-based civilizations from over 5,000 years ago, along the Indus River valley, of modern-day Pakistan...

Indus, is where the word "Hindu" comes from...

Answer 2

Sorry i forget,  but we're talkin about in school.  Maybe i can edit my answer later this week.

Answer 3

Harappan. A lot of it was built along a river that shifted course (Sarasvati), and that's why a lot of the cities died out. Mohenjo Daro is the best known site.

Oddly enough, it's writing does look a lot like the 'writing' you find on Easter Island in the Pacific.

If you Google it, be prepared to wade through a lot of rumours about how Mohenjo Daro was nuked.

Answer 4

It's where Mohenjo-daro and Harrapa (India)are discussed. This civilization is kinda cool coz you know the people under this civilization had their own sewage. Unlike the other civilizations that were gross when it comes to hygiene. There were archaeological findings ( artifacts like pottery, specially the seals) that were found at Mohenjo-daro and Harrapa. These were compared and have that they mostly look the same. They were also into Agriculture just like other civilized places do during that period.
