give the information about the ancient harappa civilization
Answers
Answer:
Earlier historians had called this civilisation “The Indus Valley Civilisation”, but later on, major settlements have been
excavated in the Ghaggar – Hakra belt that spread beyond the Indus region. The Harappan civilisation was the first urban
civilisation in South Asia, contemporary to Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq) and Egyptian civilisation. Among the three
civilizations, the Harappan civilisation occupied about 8,00,000 sq. km, a larger area than the other two civilizations. It rose
in the North-Western part of the Indian sub-continent. It is called Harappan because this civilization was first discovered in
1921 at the modern site of Harappa situated in the province of West Punjab in Pakistan. It forms a part of the proto-history
of India and belongs to the bronze age. Although it is regarded as older than the chalcolithic cultures, it was far more
developed than these cultures.
