the Indus valley civilization ?
Answers
Answer:
In 1925 archaeologists announced a spectacular discovery of immense urban ruins of two cities Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa divided apart by a distance of 640 km but identical in their layout, architecture and building technique. In 1922 Dr. Rakhal Das Banerjee, the then Archaeological Superintendent of Western Circle noticed a Buddhist stupa at Mahenjo-daro in the Larkana district of sind (now Pakistan).During the past two decades substantial additions have been made to our knowledge of the Indus civilization. Numerous excavations have been made to by various archaeological agencies both foreign and Indian at different sites of the civilization. The discovery of Naushera in Pakistan has yielded important evidence relating to the actual process of transformation from the early to mature Harappan phase. It is difficult to assert when such a civilization of high order flourished in the North-Western region of India. We do not get any direct source in shape of inscriptions or any written material to say the exact date and time of the civilization. During the process of excavation many seals with scripts have been discovered. Unfortunately it is still not possible to decipher the scripts. As a result information embodied in the script are unknown till today. According to John Marshall the then Director General of Archaeology, this civilization flourished in this vast region roughly between 3250 BC to 2750 BC.
