Explanation:
well i know more about harappans as compared to egyptians... its not true for everyone
Explanation:
Aside from what has already been mentioned, the Harappans are culturally and religiously so distinct from not just the Egyptians, but from the entire world. Keep in mind that the Harappans are the precursors to sub-continental India's history, despite their abrupt “disappearance.”
Since the Rosetta Stone has already been covered in extreme detail, I will avoid writing too much about the Egyptians and primarily focus on the Harappans.
What do we know of the Harappans? Close to nothing. Names of anyone from the time? None that we recognize.
However, it is important to understand what we could interpret and analyze. The Harappans had advanced hygiene systems in bath houses, likely leading to longer lives, improved health, and a happier population; however, many scholars point out the prevalence of leprosy, tuberculosis, and injury amongst the Harappan/Indus River peoples. Some presume that this was the norm amongst the South Asian culture, but more and more are starting to believe there may have been a severe outbreak of disease and war, though we do not know from where or whether there was a civil war or a battle with the people of Mohenjo-Daro.
We do know the Harappans were heavily influenced by trade, as we do see they had their own system of weights and measurements & seals and had access to the Mesopotamians from the Persian Gulf and Egypt, since we find evidence of lapis lazuli and Carnelian from Harappa in these areas.
The center point of Harappan civilization was its extreme focus in agriculture. Nearly every non-residential building was in some way focused on grains and food with the exception of buildings like the Bath House of Mohenjo-Daro.
This is the general finds by Archaeologists on a map, though more has been left unmentioned by it
