River Valley Civilisations: Indus Valley Civilisation

SUBJECTS:  History

YEARS:  7–8


The Indus River is located in present-day Pakistan and is the birthplace of the Indus Valley Civilisation.

What do we know of this civilisation? What are some characteristics of this civilisation that are similar to that of other river valley civilisations?

Why do we know less of the Indus Valley Civilisation than we do of other civilisations like Ancient Egypt or Mesopotamia?
