Notes: Civilization Requirements Surplus production - being able to feed the people lets you build cities Specialization of labor - trade Social stratification Centralized government, shared values (often in religion and writing) 5000 years ago civilizations were associated with river Why river valleys? Flat, well watered, floods brought nutrient-rich silt Indus Valley civilization Located in the flood plain of the Indus and sarawati rivers Rivers flooded twice a year Flourished at around 3000 BCE Traded with Mesopotamians Trade cloth for bronze, used seals on their goods Largest ancient civilization Over 1500 sites had two major cities: Mohenjo and Harappa Made of dense, multistory homes constructed out of bricks perpendicular to the streets Built to catch wind to cool homes Had a drainage system that carried waste and water in sewer ditches that ran under avenues - implied there was government but has an unknown authority Peaceful- barely any weapons and no evidence of war Around 1750 BCE the civilization declined Why? Possibilities: Over run by Caucasus Environmental disaster Major earthquake changed the river course so tributaries dried up

It's a misunderstanding that the seal represents a Hindu god. Hinduism was brought to India by the people that lived in the Caucasus.

According to most Ancient History text books which are prescribed in Indian schools, the powerful dude with horned helmet is 'Pashupati', an incarnation of Hindu god 'Shiva'. 'Pashu' means animal and 'pati' means master or lord. So basically 'Lord of animals'. PS: Love Crash Course. :)

Also I'm pretty sure Jainism emerged alongside Buddhism 3 or 4 centuries before 0 AD. It's possible they borrowed stuff from older religions and ppl have mistaken it as proof that Jainism is way older. Ur theory might be true. I'm not denying that , but there's scant evidence supporting it.

It's probably as different from the original IVC ( which we can't be sure of ) as Sikhism is from Judaism

Hi John Green, My 5 and 1/2 year old daughter watched this video. Her first video of yours to see. She says thank you for allowing us to learn and watch. She liked the Indus valley art you showed. She liked your magic and presentation style. We had to slow down the video speed to 85 percent because you speak English very fast (she's bilingual). We're almost certain to be watching more of your videos in the future for her history lessons. We hope that you're staying healthy and safe in these interesting and challenging times.

I'm not sure on how he came to the conclusion that the Harappans aren't the ancestors of modern India and Pakistan, many of the ancient Harappan deities are present in the Hindu pantheon on of gods. In fact it's widely accepted that the Dravidian race of people in India are the direct descendants based on genealogy. And Pakistan became Islamic around 700 AD after the Arab invasion of the Ummayuds, they're ancestors were largely either Hindu, Jain or Buddhists as evidenced by the numerous archeological sites.

+serioushamster well, it wasn't "so easily". The time frame between the "mature" Harappan phase and the late Harappan phase (when the civilization started to decline ) was over a period of a 1000 years or even more. As mentioned in the video, the cause is hotly debated, but in my opinion and research, it was due to the shifting of the main course of the Indus River, which lead to the drying of major tributaries in the system, such as the much fabled Saraswati river, the remnants of which is now believed to be the dry river bed of Ghaggar-Hakra.

Very interesting! Just wanted to add that there were many trade goods, one of the most important being Lapis Lazuli. There was a colony located about 900kms away from the main territory of the Indus Valley civilization which was constructed to control the Lapus Lazuli mines regionally. Also, they sold gold, silver, timber, animals (monkey too for some reason) to Mesopotmia. Also, the hypothesis is that they were a federation/republic instead of a monarchy or theocracy. They also didnt discriminate against Nomadic tribes and actually traded with them (also using them as transportation services to move goods!).

RE watching this makes me realize how much I miss this series

A mistake to associate the caste system / four varnas with the Great Bath at Mohenjo Daro. The four varnas came much later, starting around 100 CE, and to begin with among the Central Asian / Indo-European / Vedic people. You may like reading Early Indians (2018) by Tony Joseph. Also, since Vedic Hinduism itself came after or at best, towards the end of the Indus Valley civilisation, it's incorrect to appropriate the person in the seal as Pashupati, as some of the commenters are doing. At best, Shiva or Pashupati could be an invention of Vedic Hinduism under the influence of earlier Harappan beliefs.

I think Shiva was an old Local God in the region with Shakti/The Goddess and a few others. We are sure that Devas and Asuras came from the Iranians and all these merged with the Local culture(or what remained of it) to form the Vedic culture. Shiva, especially is not relevent in Early Vedas, but used as a figure to basically get the Locals to accept this new religion.

Why use the "nobody" meme here? It doesn't add anything to your joke.

The dude sitting with the animals in a Yoga pose is called the "Proto-Shiva", one of the earliest representations of Hindu God Shiva. Therefore it is not true to say that Indus Valley people had nothing to do with Hinduism ,since both Shiva and Yoga belong to the Hindu tradition. There is other evidence like the "Mother-Goddess", "The Bull" that also show a link with Hinduism. I enjoyed the video nonetheless.

This is why I say most Pakistani people are illiterate. Zia destroyed you guys. Literacy rate in Pakistan is 56%, in India it is 72%. Also, Pakistan has the highest proportion of out of school children in Asia at 58%, in India that number is less than 2% .Therefore that gap will only get wider. India also has better Per capita income, produces more PHDs in one year than Pakistan has produced since independence. Pakistanis should be the last people in the world to lecture anyone about religious extremism, remember OBL? Anyways, I am not saying all this to gloat over the fact that we are "superior", afterall we don't chose the country that we are born in. It's just that it is so disappointing that an entire population has become bereft of any critical thinking faculties due to religious brainwashing I accept that expecting correct information from an illiterate person is itself paradoxical.

The history known today have been written mainly by the European Generals who ruled India and you guessed it, they have written it in a biased manner to show their supremacy over the natives. The say vedas and sanskrit have come from Aryans. This Aryan invasion has already been debunked. You dont find Sanskrit texts any where else in the world except India. Most the of the history written about our country is totally distorted.

@CibsonCharles

10 жыл бұрын

2828jordan Spot on! The British historians wanted to believe that the native Indians were barbaric and it was the European aryans who came and civilized Indians. But that is clearly proved wrong by the discovery of Harappa and Mohenjadaro. Clearly the Indus valley civilization was far more advanced than the Europeans of later centuries. It would be stupid to believe that Caucasians came and dominated the natives of the Indus valley civilization. It is sad that some Indians still believe in this falsehood of "Aryans" and "Dravidians" and remain divided.

@Pooua

Cibson Charles Greeks were debating logic for centuries when the Romans were still living in caves, but the inferior Roman culture defeated the superior Greek culture. Your superior mind is no match for our advanced weapons. It is now believed that climate change and decline in trade from the West brought about the decline of the Indus Valley Civilization. Regardless of the cause, though, Caucasians moved into India in the Indo-Aryan migrations at the end of the Indus Valley civilization.

Sajid Djunaedy Maybe , as that looks familiar to the usual representation of Hindu god,Shiva with his pet Bull and his Wife Parvati with her Tiger.It symbolizes the idea that the predator (Tiger) needs to feed on the Bull and its the predators hunger which causes violence . Humans need to outgrow hunger (metaphor of desire) to avoid violence. Again its just a metaphor as those were the days many ideas were communicated via images/Idols or Vedas (means verbal)
