Question

Give any
three reasons for the huge settlement in the
Indus Valley Civilization.

Answer 1

Answer:

The Indus Valley Civilization contained more than 1,000 cities and settlements.

These cities contained well-organized wastewater drainage systems, trash collection systems, and possibly even public granaries and baths.

Although there were large walls and citadels, there is no evidence of monuments, palaces, or temples.

The uniformity of Harappan artifacts suggests some form of authority and governance to regulate seals, weights, and bricks.

Answer 2

Many scholars believe that the collapse of the Indus Valley Civilization was caused by climate change. Some experts believe the drying of the Saraswati River, which began around 1900 BCE, was the main cause for climate change, while others conclude that a great flood struck the area.
