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.

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.

Amazing Fact: Bathing still holds a religious significance in India! Some things that still resembles them are: -Kumbh Mela (GREAT BATH) largest gathering in the world. Seen from space. -Largest fertile Irrigated land in world. -Non-Violence as a passive characterstic in community. Maybe there are others things too. N maybe they migrated to Ganga river.

@@naughtystun4704 of course violence and intolerance are different things. But intolerance leading to riots means that non violence is not a real characteristic of our community. We are also subject to violence on petty divisions in our community . Intolerance leads to violence. And he was stating that Indus valley civilization's non violent nature is true even in the present era India. It's simply false

@@Abhishek-rq6kz well everyone with a different opinion from the supreme leader is just a leftist naxal for you. Shows how degraded your attitude is towards other opinions. Classic case of intolerance. Thanks for giving me a prime example for the rising intolerance in this country. And it's you who doesn't have the guts to show your face or reveal your name, and you call me fake?? There is a limit to hippocracy. It's just what cowards do to hide their cowardice. It's you people that are trying to divide this country on the basis of religion. You are the people who thinks that religion is just a commodity to promote political interests. You religious fanatics are the worst. It was this same ideology that killed the father of our nation and you people built temples and worship his killer. I don't have to be a Muslim to criticize Hinduism. And I am not criticizing Hinduism at all. I am criticizing the low life blind bakths like you who destroy lives on the basis of religion with the sole motive of political greed. Shame on you

Thank you for making these videos. There are a lot of History channels on KZfaq which are heavily Eurocentric and give Indian history a very surface level look which usually always the same and not anything informative. But, I've seen your dedicated work and understanding of Indian history not as a museum sculpture but rather an actual History like any other. Thank you for that.

This is by far the best short educational video about indus valley civilization that I have seen. You have condensed so much info that took me weeks to just read! Great work! Do look into more ancient Indian history. It has a lot of vague populism around it but concrete, lucid description are seriously missed -- battle of ten kings on early janapadas and the rise of mahajanapadas, for example. That was an equivalent of world war for the vedic tribes.
