    As some have pointed out at 5:41 its looks more like a Rhino
    The biggest site is a city known as rakhigiri
    At 4:18, the image is of a carving of an archaeological find in Denmark called the Gundestrup cauldron.

    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._

    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.

    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.

The religion of the Indus Valley Civilization probably evolved and fused with other belief systems to form modern Hinduism.

      @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.

    • @heathenfire
      @heathenfire 5 ปีที่แล้ว +22

      @@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!

    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).

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.

      @@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.

    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.

      @@vineethjoshy4819 i have heard that theory but it seems just as likely(more in my opinion) that the sarasvati was referring to a great, Himalaya fed river east of the indus today. (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.

      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 .
      You people are not even the descendants of the Indus valley civilisation . You just have those sites over there . INDUS VALLEY CIVILIZATION was established by NON-ARYAN , arguably the DRAVIDA people and they mostly live in INDIA . Moreover , your country was created on the very basis of your religion . So , you don't have any right over the legacy of the civilisation whose GODS were Proto-Hindu GODS .
