HARAPPAN CIVILISATION
Harappan civilisation was a civilisation which was discovered in 1921. The first Harappan site was Harappa. The second site was Mohenjo-Daro which was found in 1922. The third site was Chanhudaro which was found in 1931. The fourth site was Kalibangan which was found in 1953. The fifth site was Kot Diji which was found in 1955. The sixth site was Lothal which was found in 1957. The seventh site was Surkotada which was found in 1972. The eighth site was Dholavira which was found in 1990-91.
The discovery of Indus valley civilisation in 20th century was an important event in the history of India. Our knowledge of the Harappan civilisation is based entirely on the archaeological remains such as buildings , pottery , sculpture , seals and cemeteries.
MESOPOTAMIAN CIVILISATION
The civilizations that developed in the region influenced the Abrahamic religions, particularly the Old Testament (in whose Book of Genesis, Mesopotamian influence in both culture and literature can be found). Skirmishes, tensions, and conflicts associated with Mesopotamian politics and military campaigns affected the Prophets in Judaism.[1] Widely considered to be one of the cradles of civilization by the Western world, Bronze Age Mesopotamia included Sumer and the Akkadian, Babylonian, and Assyrian empires, all native to the territory of modern-day Iraq. In the Iron Age, it was controlled by the Neo-Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian Empires.
The Sumerians and Akkadians (including Assyrians and Babylonians) dominated Mesopotamia from the beginning of written history (c. 3100 BC) to the fall of Babylon in 539 BC, when it was conquered by the Achaemenid Empire. It fell to Alexander the Great in 332 BC, and after his death, it became part of the Greek Seleucid Empire.
