indus river valley
location: On the website it said "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 proximity to a water source. " I know because it talks about how the Indus river valley covers most of Pakistan, some of India, and also a little tiny bit of Pakistan. The website showed "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." https://sites.google.com/mccsc.k12.in.us/history-of-south-asia/home/3300-bc-1500-bc-indus-river-valley-civilization/location
Government: The website showed "For example, one Aryan influence on modern-day India was the development of the caste system." I know this because they said that the cast system is a social group where people have no freedom. On the website it showed "For example, one Aryan influence on modern-day India was the development of the caste system." https://sites.google.com/mccsc.k12.in.us/history-of-south-asia/home/1500-bc-aryans
Religion: The website showed "Much of what we know about them today also came from sacred writing called the Vedas." I know this because the vedas is a religious text that is like a Bible type of book that is for hindus. An example in the website is "The religion of the ancient Aryans, known as Brahmanism, was polytheistic and heavily influenced the later development of Hinduism. Both religions have much in common and share many rituals." https://sites.google.com/mccsc.k12.in.us/history-of-south-asia/home/1500-bc-aryans
Architecture/technology: On the website it said "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." The website showed that they have very impressive building techniques. The website said "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." https://sites.google.com/mccsc.k12.in.us/history-of-south-asia/home/3300-bc-1500-bc-indus-river-valley-civilization/architecutretechnology
Writing: The website showed "One of the most confusing aspects of this ancient civilization is that the writing cannot be deciphered." I know because many symbols have been found that had led to their writing. The website wrote "Some scholars have wondered whether these symbols actually constituted a proper writing system. Whatever the case, the lack of decipherable texts means that we can gain no real insight into many of the details of Indus society as well as little about its government and politics.
