Question

essay of 150 words on Indus valley civilization

Answer 1

The Indus Valley civilization was an ancient civilization in the Indian subcontinent. It was discovered by archaeologists in the 1920s. It developed along the Indus River and the Ghaggar-Hakra River, in the area of modern Pakistan and north-west India and Afghanistan. It started during the Bronze Age. The height of its development was between 2500 BC and 1500 BC. Including the civilizations directly before and directly afterward, it may have lasted from the 33rd to the 14th century BC.[1][2]

The Indus Valley civilization covered a large area - from Balochistan (Pakistan) to Gujarat (Republic of India). The first city to be discovered by excavation (digging up) was Harappa and therefore this civilization is also known as 'Harappan Civilization'.

They were good builders. The ruins of the site show that the harappa civilization people were skillful designers. Their buildings had two or sometimes more stories. The bathrooms were attached to the rooms. One of the unique features of the city was its elaborate drainage system. A brick-lined drainage channel flowed alonside every street. Removable bricks were placed at regular intervals for easy cleaning and inspection.

The harappans played dice games. The harappan traders used seals on the knots of the sacks to be transported to make sure that they were not opened during the journey. Nobody knows how to read their writing.

In 1842 Charles Masson wrote a book that mentioned the sites of Indus Valley Civilisation.[3] Few people paid attention. Later, in 1921-22, John Marshall organised the first archaeological dig at Harappa.[4] His work was continued by Mortimer Wheeler after the Second World War.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer to this question is an ancient civilization on the Indian subcontinent was the Indus Valley civilization.

Explanation:

Given - The Indus valley civilization

To Find - Write about the Indus valley civilization.

An ancient civilization on the Indian subcontinent was the Indus Valley civilization. In the 1920s, archaeologists made the discovery. It emerged along the Indus River and the Ghaggar-Hakra River in what is now northwest India, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. During the Bronze Age, it first appeared. Its most prosperous period was between 2500 and 1500 BC. It may have lasted from the 33rd to the 14th century BC, taking into account the civilizations that came before and after it.

Balochistan (Pakistan) to Gujarat were all part of the vast Indus Valley civilization (Republic of India). Since Harappa was the first city to be uncovered through excavation, this civilization is often referred to as the "Harappan Civilization."

They excelled as builders. The remains of the location demonstrate how talented designers the Harappa civilization's inhabitants were. Their structures had two stories, and occasionally more. The rooms had baths right inside of them. The city's sophisticated drainage system was one of its distinguishing characteristics. Every roadway had a drainage ditch that was lined with masonry. The placement of detachable blocks allowed for simple cleaning and examination.

The Harappans enjoyed playing dice. To prevent the bags from being opened during the voyage, the Harappan traders applied seals on the knots of the sacks. Nobody is proficient at reading their writing.
