The Harappan society is puzzling due to the fact that the remains are inaccessible and the level of land in the Indus valley has been raised as a result of the silt deposits. However, archaeologists were able to uncover some remains from about 2500 B.C.E. At this time, the Harappan society was prosperous and well established. Another puzzling feature of the Harappan society is the lack of decoded written records. Although scientists have discovered many objects with their written language on it, scientists have yet to decipher the language. The Harappan society’s language consisted of about four hundred symbols to characterize sounds and words. The remnants of the society along with their written language hold all the answers to understanding the Harappan society. Although little is known about the society, we do know that the society was established near the Indus River and used irrigation to help strengthen their agricultural society. The rich and poor differentiated from each other significantly. They had different sized houses with what was considered advanced water and sewage systems.
