Fun Fact: The cities of the Indus Valley civilization also apparently had fresh water running through the walls, which not only supplied them with water in their homes but also cooled the walls. Which, if true, _means they invented air conditioning._
@Kiranjit Sahota ikr? Just having indoor plumbing and sewage using some channels in the walls and below the floors is impressive enough, but designing your wall-bricks to be porous enough to create evaporative cooling? 😲 Wow. But don't take my word for it. Have a look at Wikipedia and the sources it references and verify what I'm saying.
The British directors are given credit for discovery of the Indus Valley Civilisation, but it was due to the efforts of excellent Indian archaeologists like Rakhaldas Bandopadhyay and Daya Ram Sahni, these sites were discovered. Bandopadhyay was the young and talented principal investigator at the site of Mohenjo Daro. It was due to his efforts the similarities between Harappa and Mohenjo daro were discovered and the idea of the Indus Valley Civilisation was established. But he never received proper credit for his work. He was heavily discriminated against. His British supervisor John Marshall hogged all the credit from the International communities. Marshall was certainly a good archaeologist and director of the Archaeological Survey of India at that time but certainly not the principal investigator of the project. He was not allowed to publish his work and thoughts. Marshall wrote his book and told the world about this amazing civilisation and got all the attention. In his book he did thank Bandopadhyay but it was certainly not the proper recognition that Bandopadhyay deserved. Do check out his Wikipedia page and other resources online and spread the message about this great archaeologist.
It's probably useful to know in these cases that conventionally, the leader gets the majority of credits even in the West, so I can't see any wrong-doing here. If he was supervisor, that's who the credit goes to. By the way, science is mostly not about great men and their findings, but about the findings themselves, so even the greatest of men may eventually get forgotten.
@@DHARMYOGCOM What do you mean "have taken yoga?" It was my impression people actually went to India to learn from Indian masters just like any native student. Nothing was taken that wasn't freely taught. If you have a problem with that, take it up with those masters, if they still live.
I discovered the existence of the Harappan civilisation on a trip to Chandigarh, India a few years ago. I was quietly amazed as I'd never heard of it before. Most interesting was the fact that Chandigarh was built over the top of one of these cities. If anyone knows it, it is a grid city built as a new capital for the Indian state of Punjab. The French architect, Le Corbusier designed many of the centrepieces of the city. But the outstanding fact is its grid geometry which , on building, was discovered to overlay a previous Harippan city of similar grid geometry. There are many wonderful artifacts at the Chandigarh city Museum of this former civilisation.
I didn't know about the connection of harrapan civilisation in Chandigarh..we have harrapa the ancient city ruines right next to Sahiwal here in our Pakistani Punjab..it's South of my city Lahore...
@@faisalrehman8298 Same, Chandigarh is in Ganges plains, not Harappa. Or maybe the Civilization was widespread than we believe is to be. There are ancient cities near Amritsar tho.
If that is the case, builders of Chandigarh destroyed ancient city and built a new city on top. Except Mohenjodaro, they were smaller cities. Original settlenet should have been preserved and new should have been guilt next to it.
Hinduism, Paganism, Folk Mythologies, Henotheism & Philosophy are the oldest religions. The origins of Hinduism go back to the syncretic mix between Indus Valley beliefs/traditional practices, & Indo-Aryan beliefs/spiritual practices.
@Soar-ed Recreation hinduism without dout is in fact the oldest living amalgamation of religious tradition on earth . We still adopt lots of animistic beliefs apart from other differnt traditions which can be overlapping or sometimes contradicting. Hinduism is a mix of belives system of indo european people ,harrapan people and the earliest African people who now lives in Andaman Nicobar island.
It would be cool if someone discovered an "Indian Rosetta Stone" containing the Indus Valley Civilization's language as well as a later language such as Sanskrit so we could learn more about their culture and beliefs. The religion of the Indus Valley Civilization probably evolved and fused with other belief systems to form modern Hinduism.
Three other scholars whose names I cannot pass over in silence, are the late Mr. R. D. Banerji, to whom belongs the credit of having discovered, if not Mohenjo-daro itself, at any rate its high antiquity, and his immediate successors in the task of excavation, Messrs. M.S. Vats and K.N. Dikshit. ... no one probably except myself can fully appreciate the difficulties and hardships which they had to face in the three first seasons at Mohenjo-daro"
check out keeladi new found civilization 2600 yrs old in south India having link between Indus velley civilization. The written texts having similarity
@Lord Voldemort why dont you open the link and read the layers of urban settlements of harrapan Civilization dated back as far as 6000-5000B.C while the harrapa as a culture started from atleast 7000B.C from the material evidences like poettry and all other stuff. also the pre harrapan cities like dwarka existed till 5000B.C and dating as far as 9-10kB.C from the dating of artifacs and remains found there.
@Lord Voldemort do u understand what it mean "deep layers of Urban Settlements"? a Settlement is urban or Rural can be distinguished based on material Evidence. and in saraswati valley enough evidence of Urban Settlements dating back to 5000-7000B.C are present
@Shivaji the Great You may want to look at this article and the study it is based off then: scroll.in/article/874102/aryan-migration-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-study-on-indian-genetics www.biorxiv.org/content/biorxiv/early/2018/03/31/292581.full.pdf
@Shivaji the Great Yeah there was. It's the reason why North Indians and South Indians look different. South Indians are the old natives to India, while North Indians are descendants of the Aryans. Iranians and Afghanis are also Aryans, but since North Indians mixed with the Dravidians (South Indians) and Iranians mixed with Arabs, our appearances and cultures drifted apart. Our languages are still pretty similar though. If you were to compare Farsi (Iranian) with, for example, Hindi, you'd see they're at least kinda related.
@@sempitraum5541 yes that is true. Linguistically speaking the North Indian languages are similar to the Iranian languages like Farsi, Kurdish, balochi.etc and there are a lot of similarities between Sanskrit(Indian), Avestan(Iranian), ancient Greek, Latin and the proto Germanic and Celtic languages. I am from South India and I speak two South Indian languages( kannada and Tamil and some Telugu too) and also Hindi. I find a lot of similarities between the South Indian languages. On the surface we see many Sanskrit words used in kannada, but these are just later borrowings. Deep down the South Indian(dravidian ) languages are very different from the North Indian (indo-aryan) languages. In South India we are made to learn Hindi. So we know that there is a huge difference between our languages and the North Indian languages. In North India people don't learn our languages. If they did even they would see the huge difference in our languages. Also our customs and traditions are also slightly different. Of course there have been centuries of cultural exchange between our peoples and there is a lot in common. Let us not forget that today we are one people regardless of whatever may have have happened in the past. I believe in the Aryan migration theory but that doesn't mean I am not a proud Indian. I am a very proud Indian and a proud Hindu too. I want India to be a United, strong nation. I believe that we will be stronger if we stop letting our egos come in the way and stop aggressively trying to deny any sort of cultural exchange/migration between ancient India, ancient Iran, ancient Europe and the the ancient caucuses region, and accept that ancient Indians and the ancient people from these places were related (vasudhaiva kutumbakum). There is also a lot of research that has been done on the ancient religions and mythologies of these regions and I must say there is a lot of similar stuff. Even though I firmly believe in this hypothesis I do not want this to be something that divides our country. Again, we are one people today. Jai Hind!
My only complaint is that I wish this video had been longer, because it was so we'll put together and I definitely enjoyed this! Looking forward to the next one!
Its really mind blowing that 100 years ago, people did not knew that this amazing civ existed. Just Imagine how many more grate civs, even more prosperous than Rome or Mauryas might've existed but lost to time
Personally, I believe that the Indus Valley civilization _did_ independently invent writing, but what we have are just the equivalent of street signs and shipping labels that managed to survive the millennia. Which would explain why the symbols on the artifacts we've found do not form a large enough corpus to possibly represent spoken language. (This is what current linguistic research has found.) There are too few graphemes (which is what such symbols are called linguistically) to form a syllabary, but too many for a purely phonemic writing system (i.e. an abjad, an alphabet, or an abugida).
On the subject of warfare, keep in mind that though no such artifacts of marital endeavor have been uncovered, only a very small portion of those sites have yet been excavated. (We can blame much of this on the increasingly martial endeavors of the region's current inhabitants.) The Mayans, for example, were thought to be a "peaceful society" by its early archaeologists.
ravish bharti or may be they shifted towards Ganga plane with Army, who will leave arms? Recent excavation fi d very old chariot marks and arms like Maharabhara, site- UP, Sanauli, ASI diggings
Considering there was no Geneva convention and The Hague or Human Rights or U.N back then for such a thing called "international condemnation", do you really think people didn't have savage and barbaric wars during those times? Life expectancy in the past 75 years has gone up, wars have gone down. Now try comparing that to the past 6000 years and how well people were doing with each other during those ages.
The highly cultured Indus people quite matured enough to understand to live in peace, the highest virtue of humanity. So they did not make or possess weapons.
Maryam Abid its wrong. IVC is a dravidian civilization as there no religious symbol like they say in vedas . Deities are so popular in vedas but they couldnt found that in thousands of artifacts of IVC. IVC people could have spoken tamil oldest dravidian language. Then came aryans and mixed with north indian people. ANI and ASI genes research clearly shows the difference. Politics in india by Aryans who twist the history for their benefits and prejudice.
@@greybands973 A movie made by Bollywood with a very weak research done, as we can see in the movie? No, thanks. I'd rather read some actual archaeology or linguistics than a retarted movie.
Ishu Better Than You the archeology and linguistics that you read is the same shit they’ve read when they made the movie. You think a high budget movie like that would make shit up? There’s lots of evidence to back up the power fights that happened at the time.
@@greybands973 xD Yeah, I would. If you actually believe a single thing in that movie, when we had absolutely no idea if they wore fucking peacock feathers like some Vedic culture shit, I have nothing to say to you. "High budget" and still made one of the worst portrayals of any ancient society till now.
Their contact with Sumerian civilization should be the main starting-point for understanding Indus Valley civilization, because any cultural advantages in Sumer, technological, or otherwise, would be brought to the Indus Valley inevitably.
@@CDRNY25 that why I said that recent studies show that IVC might be older or around the same time as Sumerians, Their no LAW which says only middle eastern civilizations are supposed to be the oldest.With time new knowledge is uncovered.
@@ishanbajpai6940 Yep, it appears that they arose contemporaneously with Sumer. The architecture and writing system is clearly different (e.g. Indus Valley has no ziggurats and they didn't use cuneiform), but there is no doubt that these civilizations were aware of each another. A few Indus seals have been found in Mesopotamia, but the bulk have been found in the Oman region. So perhaps the ones found in Mesopotamia just made their way up the coastline (Oman being the middleman) rather than an extensive trade network between Sumer and Indus. It's really hard to say based on the scant evidence.
Lord Voldemort no research has been made. He's pulling it out of his brown ass cause he's an indian ultranationalist butthurt. He probably blindly believes the Aryan invasion was a myth while he wonders why he and his 3 billion Apu-looking twins speak aryan languages.
The image at 4:18 is of the Gundestrup cauldron found 1891 in a peat bog near the hamlet of Gundestrup in the Aars parish of Himmerland, Denmark dating from the late La Tène period or early Roman Iron Age. It’s a Celtic artefact.
North india is different from south India because of sea trade with country like sri Lanka, Malaysia, Thailand etc so a lot of asian trends can be traced back to south india like rice, lollipop shape temples, kung fu etc it played a role in bronze age too
@@bosbanon3452 I don't know about South, but definitely the North. A variety of Chinese martial arts have some roots from the north part of India. The Chinese straight-sword called the Jian, has roots from Indo-Aryan longsword. The branch of Chinese martial arts called Changquan (Long fist) has its roots in India and Persia as well. The same can be said for the Dao (Broadsword), and Qiang (spear). But the one that intriques me the most is the Gun (staff), which was ubiquitous to begin with.

If you look at that , you will find there is a man sitting surrounded by animals/nature. Means Indus valley civilization were nature worshippers , not any religious
@@xCarbonBlack no actually they had nothing in the name of culture except racisam ,but they copied everything from different culture (mostly our indians ) and serve to indians in their own flavour and thousands years of uneducation and slavery makes indians to forget their own culture , due to which they are used to known as world wide and still today .
This 5000+yrs old river civilization originated in Pakistan which is called a terrorist state nowadays, haha how ironic. Please check Pakistan Coke Studio on YT and listen to the sufi music of Pakistan. It will definitely give you a glimpse of people living along the Indus river and a rich culture we have. Pakistan is a box of chocolates for people seeking inner truth. Stay blessed.
If you turn the priest/king around you will see the snake as a pattern on the back of his head. It's my understanding that Brahman priests still wear their hair like this today in some parts of India.

Mohenjo-Daro was abandoned at about 1900 BCE not 1500 BCE. The Indus Valley civilization declined over a centuries as people moved away from population centers and into the countryside.
@@Survivethejive harappa is also a sanskrit word and word arya first used by indo aryans ( vedic people ) Aryans had roots from indus valley civilization and after collapse they settled in Europe, north India, south India and iran Sanskrit is much older than entire European civilization
@@pabslondon Oh you think i will believe your bullshit "History of the Asia according to West" theory😂🤣 Kid go and read Hindu Vedas/ scripts/sanhitas we already have whole history saved unlike your stupid theories that you used to persuade retard indians. Arya was not a race it was a Varna.
In a nutshell: Back then there was an ancient civilization in the area of the Sindhu/Indus River iirc and they had the latest technology and sanitation. In comes the Bronze Age and Indo-Aryans and the like. A few thousands years later emerges T-Series, waste on the streets, tech support, and more stereotypes than products made in China.
Hmm what’s your point India was the world richest country since the time of Indus Valley right upto British Invasion a few centuries of stagnation changes nothing India will be back .
i know its just a theory but what if the reason they collapsed was because of the deterioration of the trade routes with the western empires like the hittites etc. those civs were heavily centralized but also heavily reliant on trade as copper and tin were rarely found in the same places.
Typing this because I got a freaking 2 min ad at the beginning. Sub'd before it even started. *The List* is a mandatory sub to all players kinda thing :-) -Jake
You forgot to explain the most fascinating thing about Indus Valley Civilization. "The Town Planning" their towns were perfectly planned with grid pattern and roads cut at right angles. They were too modern forn that time.
In Harappan civilization people buried there dead bodies not burnt and the king or priest shown in this documentary is without moustache only beard looking like Muslims we have to think about that.
No mention of the Saraswati as a more likely starting point for the civilization, a position backed by the Archaeological Survey of India in recent years - it seems odd that Harapa and Mohenjo Daro seem to have sprung up as planned cities with no older/preceding smaller settlements on the sites. The Saraswati has since dried up but is mentioned in many ancient Sanskrit texts, such a disaster could explain why a civilization capable of urban planning with sewers, water supply etc could have sprung into existence over such a wide area. Good move for bringing the area to wider knowledge
Last year It's proven and published in nature journal that Indus river changed the course and civilization flourished in dried river. Which is nothing to do with Saraswati river. Mean while the artifact, Flora,fauna which rig Veda mentioned is found in central Asia. Moreover the Saraswati river which rig Veda mentioned is found to be Afghanistan exact river is also mentioned in avesta in corrupted word xaraswati.

Unrelated to the Bronze Age but you should do a video on the Gandhara Civilization some time. Visited their ruins in Pakistan recently, has Buddhist monasteries as well as Jain, Scythian, Parthian areas and part of an important trade route of central asia.
So this is around 3000 bc where as Gobleki Tepe is around 8-11 000 bc. To them Gobleki Tepe is more ancient than the Indus Valley civilization is to us. Something to think of
At 6:30 you mention they produced cotton but since cotton is native to North America it did not exist in the old world until the discovery of the Americas in the 15th Century, did you mean silk??
This Indus valley civilization has left no written records that can be deciphere, atleast no extensive written artefacts have been discovered. Anything we say is pure conjecture.
@@Nemoticon You really think that the record written by a people at a given point in time are going to be accurate? That is an arrogant statement to make. Depending on who wrote the "archeological records" originally, they can be bullshit as well.
@@優さん-n7m The very nature of archeology is fact finding.... unlike the recording of history, which is only ever written by the 'victors'. It would be arrogant to dismiss rhat in the first place. Archeology has often proven with irrefutable evidence history innaccurate on many occassions. Also as a subject of historical science, academically, it is always looking to correct itself if new findings are discovered. Again, unlike historically recorded accounts.

@@razsigrun3105 Depends on the professional conduct on the individual. Thats why there are standards, other people resort to guessing and then its just all a massive waste of time.
Do you know if they had the same brick size as the Sumerians? Apparently the Egyptians did, which is used as evidence that the Sumerians kick-started Pharaonic civilisation.
But why the weapons were not found in this civilization, the remaining two civilizations formed kingdoms. It seems the other two didn't have any much influence on this civilization
The Indo-Aryans destroyed it. I think this is pretty self-explanatory. "the Dravidians had no weapons", "the Aryans from Central Asia possed chariots and bronze age weapons and were looking for a new home to settle due to climate change in their homeland" and then all of sudden Aryan religions and languages are spoken throughout the fertile region of Northern India.
NOT ONE HORSE has been found at any of the Indus Valley Civilizations cities. Everyplace that we've found to be Aryan have ALWAYS uncovered the presence of horses too. The climate changed causing the river to dry up PLUS the river was moved by a massive earthquake causing the river to dry up even faster .
Rezâ Šâh Pahlavi More like a combination. IVC was already on the decline for 500 years prior to the migration and they likely started moved South for resources before the nomadic indo-iranians came into the picture. The cultures evidently fused. Deciphering the Harappan script could provide more knowledge so hopefully someone does that.
Firstly well done you have done a decent job, however your maps need to show the now extinct Saraswati river. There were more communities around there.
The Indus was not a superpower by present day studies they were just a bunch of united configurations just like how a federation it was not a COUNTRY or not under a unified king their were shared kings or rulers for each region and the Indus people didnt call them selfs Pakistani . Each regions people called their region different names just like how Sindh , Punjab, Balochistan are provinces in Pakistan today or Indian states of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab ,Haryana each region it seems had a name for it selfs . United on a federation like basis their was no one king from the centre like from Delhi with a central command system of government .
@@naveedali1406 It was not a empire it was a civilization were a man or human beings become mature and comes out of stone age and becomes civilized .

@@vineethjoshy4819 five times more sites have been found on the sarasvati, which is dried up now, and the word indus is more of a persian/ outsider term so sarasvati makes more sense historically and politically to refer to this amazing civilization

(you can see evidence of this on google earth) also the vedas talk the most about the sarasvati and only briefly about the indus, a rain fed river would not be nearly abundant enough to support a civilization of that size or to take such a central role in the vedas. there is also a river which sounds similar to the sarasvati in serbia which like the harahvaiti was likely named after the all important sarasvati.
@@vineethjoshy4819 well that still remains to be proven fundamentally one way or the other. from a simply intuitive perspective, fronteir india (indus and saraswati) would make sense to be the most populous and earliest civilization which would have invented much more culture than that of nomads from central asia.

If the city is collapsed by river, then can't they rebuild somewhere the same. are they do not know the course of rivers, are they not cleaver enough to manage the change of course ? is that would have happened only one time ? was there no incident before to understand the river course or drift, is that the river could change entire course in on single shot ? then you are under playing the great people !! yes its now lost but why ?????????????
There's no geographical area in history known as Pakistan. India is(the name India itself comes from Indus river), that's why when they say India, they mean historic geographic region of Hindustan. Besides there're more IVC sites in India than Pakistan, go google it!
Lol pakistan just became a country 1947. Nobody knows paksitan or even care. India is the bigger country. Indus valley was Dravidian (West asian farmer+Indian hunter gatherer).
Your claim is absolutely wrong . Out of 1500 Indus Valley Civilization sites been discovered , 925 sites are in INDIA and 425 are in Pakistan today . The Indus Valley Civilisation extends from BALOCHISTAN (Pakistan) in the WEST to INDIA's western UTTAR PRADESH in the EAST, from northeastern Afghanistan in the NORTH to INDIA's GUJARAT state in the SOUTH .

The British directors are given credit for discovery of the Indus Valley Civilisation, but it was due to the efforts of excellent Indian archaeologists like Rakhaldas Bandopadhyay and Daya Ram Sahni, these sites were discovered. Bandopadhyay was the young and talented principal investigator at the site of Mohenjo Daro. It was due to his efforts the similarities between Harappa and Mohenjo daro were discovered and the idea of the Indus Valley Civilisation was established. But he never received proper credit for his work. He was heavily discriminated against. His British supervisor John Marshall hogged all the credit from the International communities. Marshall was certainly a good archaeologist and director of the Archaeological Survey of India at that time but certainly not the principal investigator of the project. He was not allowed to publish his work and thoughts. Marshall wrote his book and told the world about this amazing civilisation and got all the attention. In his book he did thank Bandopadhyay but it was certainly not the proper recognition that Bandopadhyay deserved. Do check out his Wikipedia page and other resources online and spread the message about this great archaeologist.
It's probably useful to know in these cases that conventionally, the leader gets the majority of credits even in the West, so I can't see any wrong-doing here. If he was supervisor, that's who the credit goes to. By the way, science is mostly not about great men and their findings, but about the findings themselves, so even the greatest of men may eventually get forgotten.

@Soar-ed Recreation hinduism without dout is in fact the oldest living amalgamation of religious tradition on earth .
We still adopt lots of animistic beliefs apart from other differnt traditions which can be overlapping or sometimes contradicting.
Hinduism is a mix of belives system of indo european people ,harrapan people and the earliest African people who now lives in Andaman Nicobar island.
Hinduism is a pagan religion
It would be cool if someone discovered an "Indian Rosetta Stone" containing the Indus Valley Civilization's language as well as a later language such as Sanskrit so we could learn more about their culture and beliefs. The religion of the Indus Valley Civilization probably evolved and fused with other belief systems to form modern Hinduism.

Great video! Just know that the "deer" at about 5:41 is actually a rhinoceros...
Yes you are right
Long ago the clean cities of the Indus Valley lived togehter in harmony.
Then everything changed when the Indo-Aryans shat on their streets.
Invasion? Not really. More like a migration and integration. But things did get pretty messy.
@Shivaji the Great You may want to look at this article and the study it is based off then:
scroll.in/article/874102/aryan-migration-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-study-on-indian-genetics
www.biorxiv.org/content/biorxiv/early/2018/03/31/292581.full.pdf
@Shivaji the Great Yeah there was. It's the reason why North Indians and South Indians look different. South Indians are the old natives to India, while North Indians are descendants of the Aryans. Iranians and Afghanis are also Aryans, but since North Indians mixed with the Dravidians (South Indians) and Iranians mixed with Arabs, our appearances and cultures drifted apart. Our languages are still pretty similar though. If you were to compare Farsi (Iranian) with, for example, Hindi, you'd see they're at least kinda related.
@@sempitraum5541 yes that is true. Linguistically speaking the North Indian languages are similar to the Iranian languages like Farsi, Kurdish, balochi.etc and there are a lot of similarities between Sanskrit(Indian), Avestan(Iranian), ancient Greek, Latin and the proto Germanic and Celtic languages.
I am from South India and I speak two South Indian languages( kannada and Tamil and some Telugu too) and also Hindi. I find a lot of similarities between the South Indian languages. On the surface we see many Sanskrit words used in kannada, but these are just later borrowings. Deep down the South Indian(dravidian ) languages are very different from the North Indian (indo-aryan) languages. In South India we are made to learn Hindi. So we know that there is a huge difference between our languages and the North Indian languages. In North India people don't learn our languages. If they did even they would see the huge difference in our languages.
Also our customs and traditions are also slightly different. Of course there have been centuries of cultural exchange between our peoples and there is a lot in common. Let us not forget that today we are one people regardless of whatever may have have happened in the past. I believe in the Aryan migration theory but that doesn't mean I am not a proud Indian.
I am a very proud Indian and a proud Hindu too. I want India to be a United, strong nation. I believe that we will be stronger if we stop letting our egos come in the way and stop aggressively trying to deny any sort of cultural exchange/migration between ancient India, ancient Iran, ancient Europe and the the ancient caucuses region, and accept that ancient Indians and the ancient people from these places were related (vasudhaiva kutumbakum). There is also a lot of research that has been done on the ancient religions and mythologies of these regions and I must say there is a lot of similar stuff.
Even though I firmly believe in this hypothesis I do not want this to be something that divides our country. Again, we are one people today.
Jai Hind!
At that time these Indo-Aryans were still Aryans and had not really seperated from their West Aryan (Iranian) cousins.

Its really mind blowing that 100 years ago, people did not knew that this amazing civ existed. Just Imagine how many more grate civs, even more prosperous than Rome or Mauryas might've existed but lost to time
Personally, I believe that the Indus Valley civilization _did_ independently invent writing, but what we have are just the equivalent of street signs and shipping labels that managed to survive the millennia.
Which would explain why the symbols on the artifacts we've found do not form a large enough corpus to possibly represent spoken language. (This is what current linguistic research has found.) There are too few graphemes (which is what such symbols are called linguistically) to form a syllabary, but too many for a purely phonemic writing system (i.e. an abjad, an alphabet, or an abugida).
On the subject of warfare, keep in mind that though no such artifacts of marital endeavor have been uncovered, only a very small portion of those sites have yet been excavated. (We can blame much of this on the increasingly martial endeavors of the region's current inhabitants.) The Mayans, for example, were thought to be a "peaceful society" by its early archaeologists.
Most important, no weapons where found in excavation. A way of life humans have forgotten..
ravish bharti or may be they shifted towards Ganga plane with Army, who will leave arms? Recent excavation fi d very old chariot marks and arms like Maharabhara, site- UP, Sanauli, ASI diggings
Considering there was no Geneva convention and The Hague or Human Rights or U.N back then for such a thing called "international condemnation", do you really think people didn't have savage and barbaric wars during those times?
Life expectancy in the past 75 years has gone up, wars have gone down. Now try comparing that to the past 6000 years and how well people were doing with each other during those ages.
The highly cultured Indus people quite matured enough to understand to live in peace, the highest virtue of humanity. So they did not make or possess weapons.

Their contact with Sumerian civilization should be the main starting-point for understanding Indus Valley civilization, because any cultural advantages in Sumer, technological, or otherwise, would be brought to the Indus Valley inevitably.
Recent research shows that they we're probably older and more older than Sumerians.
@@CDRNY25 that why I said that recent studies show that IVC might be older or around the same time as Sumerians, Their no LAW which says only middle eastern civilizations are supposed to be the oldest.With time new knowledge is uncovered.
@@ishanbajpai6940 Yep, it appears that they arose contemporaneously with Sumer. The architecture and writing system is clearly different (e.g. Indus Valley has no ziggurats and they didn't use cuneiform), but there is no doubt that these civilizations were aware of each another. A few Indus seals have been found in Mesopotamia, but the bulk have been found in the Oman region. So perhaps the ones found in Mesopotamia just made their way up the coastline (Oman being the middleman) rather than an extensive trade network between Sumer and Indus. It's really hard to say based on the scant evidence.
Lord Voldemort no research has been made. He's pulling it out of his brown ass cause he's an indian ultranationalist butthurt. He probably blindly believes the Aryan invasion was a myth while he wonders why he and his 3 billion Apu-looking twins speak aryan languages.

In a nutshell:
Back then there was an ancient civilization in the area of the Sindhu/Indus River iirc and they had the latest technology and sanitation.
In comes the Bronze Age and Indo-Aryans and the like.
A few thousands years later emerges T-Series, waste on the streets, tech support, and more stereotypes than products made in China.
pretty much.
That was pretty accurate
Hmm what’s your point India was the world richest country since the time of Indus Valley right upto British Invasion a few centuries of stagnation changes nothing India will be back .
king yogesh it will for sure, may not be for a while though, probably not in our lifetime.
@Rich 91 Britishers were not the first to unite the whole region .
i know its just a theory but what if the reason they collapsed was because of the deterioration of the trade routes with the western empires like the hittites etc. those civs were heavily centralized but also heavily reliant on trade as copper and tin were rarely found in the same places.
so what if the indus valley civ were a heavily trade reliant civ that collapsed because of the interconnectedness of bronze age civ

No mention of the Saraswati as a more likely starting point for the civilization, a position backed by the Archaeological Survey of India in recent years - it seems odd that Harapa and Mohenjo Daro seem to have sprung up as planned cities with no older/preceding smaller settlements on the sites. The Saraswati has since dried up but is mentioned in many ancient Sanskrit texts, such a disaster could explain why a civilization capable of urban planning with sewers, water supply etc could have sprung into existence over such a wide area. Good move for bringing the area to wider knowledge
Last year It's proven and published in nature journal that Indus river changed the course and civilization flourished in dried river. Which is nothing to do with Saraswati river. Mean while the artifact, Flora,fauna which rig Veda mentioned is found in central Asia. Moreover the Saraswati river which rig Veda mentioned is found to be Afghanistan exact river is also mentioned in avesta in corrupted word xaraswati.

Do you know if they had the same brick size as the Sumerians? Apparently the Egyptians did, which is used as evidence that the Sumerians kick-started Pharaonic civilisation.
Brick-started?
But why the weapons were not found in this civilization, the remaining two civilizations formed kingdoms. It seems the other two didn't have any much influence on this civilization
The Indo-Aryans destroyed it. I think this is pretty self-explanatory. "the Dravidians had no weapons", "the Aryans from Central Asia possed chariots and bronze age weapons and were looking for a new home to settle due to climate change in their homeland" and then all of sudden Aryan religions and languages are spoken throughout the fertile region of Northern India.
You're right sir
Are you saying that they were vastly different in accord to culture as well as RACE ??
@ Yes.
NOT ONE HORSE has been found at any of the Indus Valley Civilizations cities.
Everyplace that we've found to be Aryan have ALWAYS uncovered the presence of horses too.
The climate changed causing the river to dry up PLUS the river was moved by a massive earthquake causing the river to dry up even faster
.
Rezâ Šâh Pahlavi More like a combination. IVC was already on the decline for 500 years prior to the migration and they likely started moved South for resources before the nomadic indo-iranians came into the picture. The cultures evidently fused. Deciphering the Harappan script could provide more knowledge so hopefully someone does that.

@@nothingexists5066 hinduism originated when the indo scythians attacked vedic followers of ganga jumna . and vedics left their god to adopt gods of local pagans..
I always find it funny how much is attributed to religious practices with ancient cultures. The given historical narrative would have us believe all the ancients did all day was pray and prepare for death.

Super Video
im from SINDH Moan-Jo-Daro the Oldest culture Indus people lived in peace for thousand of years they were the most intelligent people who ever lived The ancient civilizations seemed to work with nature, not against it Today we work against nature due to greed and expediency.
Great documentary. Imagine, these people living around 2500 BCE had sewage systems, dams, air conditioning, and were at the threshold of an industrial age.
Indus Valley Civilization is truly the glorious SINDH is a country
ALLAH HO AKBAR
Indus valley civilization is the point from where Hinduism started
Why you guys hide Hinduism there
In that time only one religion that is sanatana dharma 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳💪💪💪💪🕉🕉🕉🕉
Sanskrit and proto dravidian languages are national languages of civilization
Neither Arabic nor baloch
Swastikas are symbol of peace of that people and om is real truth
@@nothingexists5066 Indus valley is not Hindu, it is Dravidian
Is the plural of "deer" "deers" in British English?
