Indus River Valley/A
Location:in the text Around 5,000 years ago, a civilization developed along the Indus River alluvial plain (floodplain), in South Asia, due to the large amount of fertile land and it was proximity to a water source. In the 1920s, under layers of land and mounds of dirt, archaeologists discovered the remains of 4,000 year old cities, which existed at the same time as the Egyptians and Mesopotamians. Some of these cities included Harappa and Mohenjo-daro. Prentice Hall World studies
Religion: In the text We know a few things about them from their sacred text called Vedas. In the text it states "The Vedas are mostly religious texts, but they also described famous victories of the Aryans as they invaded India. The religion of the ancient Aryans, known as Brahmanism, was polytheistic and heavily influenced the later development of Hinduism." Prentice Hall World studies
Architecture / Technology: in the text The people within the Indus Valley created well-planned cities. Specifically, the people during this time cared deeply about hygiene, and their cities resembled the importance of this idea. These early cities show remnants of the world's earliest sanitation system. With the cities, people could obtain water from wells. Also, within many homes, some rooms had facilities in which waste water was directed to cover drains and these lined the major streets. "This was VERY advanced for the time"Prentice Hal World Prentice Hall World studies

Government: In the text They had a system that was called a caste. In the text the author states "A caste is a social group in which people are born and they cannot change. The caste system began because the Aryans had four social classes, which they called varnas. People were divided based on wealth and occupation."(Brower 1500 BC Aryans). The different classes were the Brahmana, Kshatriya, Vaishya, Sudra, and Dalits. Prentice Hall World studies
