HI my name is Aarush and I will be taking you a little around the Indus Valley Civilization or the Harappan Civilization with my dog Shiru
The Indus cities were neatly planned. They had straight roads.
The Indus civilisation or Harappan Civilization seems to have been a peaceful one. The cities were built with strong walls and gateways, which usually means they needed protection.
Most Indus or Harappan buildings were made from mud bricks. Over time, people built new houses on top of old ones. So, over hundreds of years, the citiesgrew higher and higher.
Some houses were seven metres above the old houses at the bottom!
Cool fact: Historians have made educated guesses about the nature of Harappan civilization from the available artifacts and physical structures. Some experts have theorized that the Indus Valley Civilization had no rulers as we understand them, that everyone enjoyed equal status.
The Indus or Harappan people needed river water to drink, wash and to irrigate their fields. They may also have used water in religious ceremonies. To them, their river was The King River’.
The Indus is the longest river in Pakistan, it's over 3,000 kilometers long.

The civilization likely ended due to climate change and migration.
