Indus River Valley
Location: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. Over time, a vast number of settlements were built on the banks of the Indus River and surrounding areas. The Indus River Valley covers most of modern-day Pakistan, the northwestern region of modern-day India, and a small portion of Afghanistan and on the website it stated that 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. The Indus Valley region was a region rich in fertile soil, ideal for agriculture. The Indus plain is surrounded by high mountains, desert, and ocean.(https://sites.google.com/mccsc.k12.in.us/history-of-south-asia/home/3300-bc-1500-bc-indus-river-valley-civilization/location)

Writing:One of the most confusing aspects of this ancient civilization is that the writing cannot be deciphered. Over 400 symbols have been uncovered from different locations. Many of the symbols are located on seals, ceramic pots, and other types of materials.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. https://sites.google.com/mccsc.k12.in.us/history-of-south-asia/home/3300-bc-1500-bc-indus-river-valley-civilization/writing
