Answers
Answer:
The Indus Valley civilization (3300–1700 B.C.E.) is also known as the Harappan civilization. It was one of the earliest urban civilizations in the world, roughly contemporaneous with the civilizations of ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, and China. It was located in what is now Pakistan and northwest India, along the flood plain of the Indus River.
Although the Harappans had a written language, the Indus Script remains undeciphered. Most of what is known about their culture and civilization comes from the ruins of their two largest cities: Harappa and Mohenjo-daro. Both cities cover less than 2.6 square kilometers (one square mile). (To compare their size to modern-day cities, Central Park in New York City, United States, is larger than the Harappan cities, with an area of 1.32 square miles.) Mohenjo-daro had an estimated population of around 40,000, and Harappa was probably similar in population size.
The Harappan cities did not have palaces or temples, and there is no evidence they were ruled by hereditary monarchs like kings and queens. Elected officials or other elites may have acted as rulers.
Answer:
The Indus River Valley Civilization, also known as Harappan civilization, developed the first accurate system of standardized weights and measures, some as accurate as to 1.6 mm.
Harappans created sculpture, seals, pottery, and jewelry from materials, such as terracotta, metal, and stone.
Evidence shows Harappans participated in a vast maritime trade network extending from Central Asia to modern-day Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, and Syria.
