    In British India in the 1920's odd stone seals kept popping up at ruins near Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro along the Indus river valley. They baffled everyone, with their inscriptions in a never before seen written language. Archaeologists, intrigued by this, started excavating these previously ignored sites.
    They soon uncovered a 4,500-year-old civilisation. A civilisation completely absent in the historical record. One of the earliest urban civilizations in human history. It flourished alongside Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and China around 3300-1900BCE but was bigger than all of them. A civilisation that built wonders not to gods or kings but to sanitation. A civilisation without war. Made up of massive planned cities built in brick. Masters of bronze and sculpture. They created their own writing system, traded across the vast sea, and possibly invented the world’s first indoor toilets and then vanished for reasons still not understood.
    So what was this civilisation in the Indus Valley, what did they achieve, and what does it have to do with rubber duckies? Well let’s find out.

Even though the civilization was forgotten these things some how remained through time.

After this Krishna died and new age began, new civilisations, same roots. The remaining ones moved to Indus valley, where Hinduism. Prior to that it didnt exist, it was vedic life, gods and demi gods where not from this planet, but they were on earth.. The Ramayana happened 250,000 years ago. So indus valley is still very recent, compared to the other ages.

    @hul0beral 4 роки тому +160

    Great video as always! One of the reasons, speculated about the decline of the Harappan Civilization is the capricious tectonic activities in the Himalayan plain in the 3rd millennium BCE. Sarasvati had two major tributaries - Drishadvati (who had a twin river Yamuna - which flows into the Ganges) and Shatudri. Due to a major shift in the plates, almost the entire water of Drishadvati went into Yamuna and Shatudri changed her track to meet the Indus. This created a water shortage in the Sarasvati basin, followed by severe draughts. In turn the Indus basin flooded with the excessive flow due to inclusion of Shatudri. The Harappans were in the endgame. Some moved towards the West and settled around the Mediterranean and some moved towards the Ganges in the East. The drying of Sarasvati was mentioned in the Mahabharata, where a sage Pulastya talked about sudden invisibility of Sarasvati somewhere near the present-day Jaisalmer in Rajasthan to the exiled King Yudhisthira.

      nikki frozen The Minoans date back to 3000 BC, 300 years after the Indus Valley Civilization began , and lasted until 1100 BC when the Vedic Age ended. So the Minoans lasted through both ages.

      When the wikipedia article that you rolled your fat eyeballs over says "about 3000 BC" they didn't intend for you to fat around telling other people that 3000 BC was the year the Minoan civilization started it's just a big, round, vague, fat number, fat kid. It's not like in the video game where you build your first city and everything is simple and you can play it while cramming snacks in your mouth with your other hand.

      Minoans are not the among the cradles of civilization
      And you're wrong
      Because Greece is just too much overhyped
      Minoans started flourishing around some 2000 BCE
      these civilizations are centuries before them
      And that's why it is also speculated that minoans probably got their knowledge from mesopotamia and Egypt

    There's a *fantasy* book series by an Indian author - Amish Tripathi - which is based on the *Indus Vally Civilisation* . It's called 'The Shiva Triology' and it's a bestseller in India. It is a tribute to one of our gods - Shiva - and it follows his life as he discovers The Great Land of Meluha and solves its nemesis. The drying of Saraswati river also plays a huge part. You should definitely get a copy. The first book is called, 'The Immortals of Meluha'.

    They follow sanatan dharma (hinduism) they believed in one god having several incarnations.
    The unicorn which content creator was referring was bull. It is referred to as god Shiva's carrige. You can see trident and many other signs in harappan artifacts. They were probably shivaites . They used to write in symbols formation instead of words. Pottery, farming, buisness, culture, festivals were there main fields of involvement. There is much more to be discovered in depth. This content creator tried to tell about Harappan civilization, but it seems that he had not properly researced all the available sources to make thia video much more better and conclusive. By the way it was nice to hear something about ancient indian civilization from a foreign individual.
