Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Harappan civilization:

• One of the most notable aspects of the Harappan cities was the well-designed drainage system. According to historians, streets with drains were initially laid out before dwellings were constructed along them. Among the drainage system's features are:

Town Planning:

• The cities of Harappa were properly organized.
• The planned areas of the cities were the lower Town and the upper town.
• Upper town, which is smaller but higher, is the Western part of the city, also known as Citadel.
• It was inhabited by Administrators.
• Because they were constructed on mud brick platforms, the buildings within the Citadel were taller.
• Important structures including the Great Bath, the assembly hall, the granary, and the workshops were located within the walls of the Citadel.
• Lower town, which is larger but lower, is in the East.
• However, there were houses in the lower part of the town and inhabited by common people.
• If we examine the Lower Town's plan, we can see that the streets and roads were roughly planned out in a "grid" pattern, intersecting at right angles.
• They were both physically isolated from one another by walls.
• They were constructed from east to west and from north to south.

Drainage System:

• The Harappan Civilization was most recognizable for its meticulously designed drainage system.
• The street drain was attached to every residence.
• House drains emptied themselves into the main drain.
• Bricks were used to construct the major channels, which were coated in loose bricks that could be taken off for cleaning.
• Before wastewater entered street drains, household drains initially discharged into sumps where solids settled.
• Bricks or stones were used to cover the drainage system and drains.
• They were provided with inspection holes at regular intervals for cleaning.

The Great Granary:

• At Harappa, two rows of six granaries were discovered.
• The granary was a massive building with a solid brick foundation.

• To the south of the granaries in Harappa, rows of circular brick platforms that served as working floors were found.
• Due to the discovery of remnants of wheat and barley grains in the floor's cracks, it is thought that it was constructed for threshing grains.

• It is a brick building that was erected over a huge brick foundation that extends over 45 meters north, south, and east to west.
• The granary was a massive building with a solid brick foundation

The deceased were typically laid in holes during funerals in Harappan regions. Pottery and ornament were found in some graves, which was evidence that people thought they might use them in the afterlife. But the Harappans disapproved of interring valuables with the dead.
