It always amazes me at the longevity of some of these early civilizations, but for some reason seeing the dates from the Early to Late Harrapan just hit me differently this time. 3300-1300 BCE. 2 thousand years, in the same place. It is almost inconceivable the number of generations that would have lived within that part of the world. Great video, as always!

Such was the impact of those 2000 odd years that people who live in the region today in modern day Haryana, Gujarat and in Pakistan still construct their houses (traditional huts) in almost the same way as the Harappans. Their construction of bullock carts(especially the wheel-axle design) has also drawn interest from historians for marked similarities to the Harappans. The slates used to teach children were similar in design to those in use till date in rural areas. And women still dress in a way that is strikingly similar to the dancing lady bronze figurine unearthed from the sites - with lots of bangles going up their arms. The prevelance and importance of the Bull in Indian culture today resonates with the seals found at the sites.

I think we need some new finds to actually translate it though. All known writings are between a word and a sentence or maybe at most 2 short sentences long. We don't know the language they were speaking either which sadly makes it almost impossible to translate. Finding something like a Rosetta stone with Harappan and Cuneiform would solve this easily but at minimum we at least need to find something that is far longer to get a chance reading it. I mean, we don't know what is written on the seals we have, it could be names of people or families, place names or it might be the name of goods for trade or even names of Gods or something else entirely, we don't have even a clue. The only written language I know of that would be harder to crack would be the Danube script if it was a written script at all. The Harappan script has somewhere between 400 and 600 different signs/letters/hieroglyphs, we aren't sure since some look pretty similar and not all seems to have been in use at the same time. That makes it far harder to figure out then other languages being studied in hope of understanding them like the Minoan Linear A (which had some promising breakthroughs lately) and Rongorongo from Rapa Nui which we at least know a bit of the spoken language. We have no clue if it is a Indo European language (something we recently due to DNA studies figured out Linear A seems to be) or something long gone with no modern family left. So sadly, unless we make some new finds, I can't see us solving that one. We do know it is a written language due to the number of signs and how often some appears which still is a step up from the Danube script but that is about it. Of course if we figured out what the seals actually were for that might help a bit. We don't even know if the pictures and script have a similar meaning, it might be that those were put on sacks of trade goods with the writing explaining the content and the pictures symbolizing a person, family or tradehouse owning it for instance but there are many other possible uses for them and they probably don't mean that since so few say the same.

@@mattstakeontheancients7594 Agreed but the problem is that the script got lost during the last part of their history and no other writing existed in the area for centuries so it is unlikely anyone did that in their area. Our best possibility is that someone like that translator wrote a translation of something, either together with the original writing or that we find some copies of translations and some original messages somewhere in Summeria or Elan. Another possibility is that they wrote their longer messages on clay, stone or parchment and that we will find a library of them somewhere in the Indus valley, we haven't found any yet but that doesn't mean such a place doesn't exist. That would make it harder then with a Rosetta stone of course but it is the lack of larger pieces of writing that makes translating them close to impossible. It is a longshot but stranger things have happened and we can always hope. But I have far higher hopes for Linear A, that one I think will be solved in the next 20 years.

Rongorongo is another mystery but since the few texts we have there are pretty long, I think that one have a possibility of being solved. Since we have knowledge of the language and relatively long texts that one is looking far better. Let's hope they find a lot more about this ancient and still pretty mysterious civilization. :)

Forests are very important for retaining rainfall in the soil. If the trees are removed, not only does rain run off into the rivers and not soak into the soil, but eventually the aquifers dry up and the springs stop running. In the New England colonies, the colonists logged all the forests in the 17th century. The immediate result was erosion of the soil and sedimentation of rivers and streams. A bigger problem was that 20-30 years later, the springs dried up, and lack of water became a problem in the drier seasons.

The Indus Valley civilization is really a fascinating mystery. You make it look like a Bronze Age Shangri-La: a wealthy, peaceful and egalitarian society. Your presentation is intriguing, but we should not idealise ancient societies, especially those we have so little information about. The first archeologists who studied the Mayans, for example, considered them a civilization of peaceful astronomers. That remained the general consensus until the Maya script was deciphered. The civilizations of India and Southeast Asia often used palm leaves as writing material, which is very fragile and spoils quickly. If the people of Harappa used that too then all their books are lost, if they had any. In this case the secret of their script is also lost.

I'm fascinated by the mysteries of this ancient culture, not only because of its undeciphered script, but also because of the lessons Subcontinental people could learn from it's genius and contribution to their extant material and intangible cultures, languages, spirituality and the like. So much of their history has been misinterpreted and distorted following centuries of British colonialisation which, because of obvious self-interest, stressed the importance of the IndoEuropean-speaking Vedic and proto-Vedic culture over the "native" Harappan one.

I went to high high school and college in the US. My family always encouraged education and respect for science, biology and engineering. Archaeology was a huge interest of mine. It was at Bryn Mawr College that I learned about the Mesopotamian civilization, as well as other ancient Civilizations.

The main reason is that much less is known about the IVC than any other major ancient civilization - there are no inscriptions, tablets, scrolls. We don't know the name of a single IVC ruler. In comparison, we have lots of information about Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt.

Indus Valley to Maldives, Maldives to Sri Lanka , Sri Lanka to Sri Vijaya ( Java) . Java to Sulawesi , Sulawesi to Melanesia, melanesia to Polynesia . The fact that Sanskrit words are found in diverse Austronesian languages from Madagascar to Philippines as borrowings indicates very early contact between Indus Valley people and Indonesians. Some of them coudl have influenced Polynesia via the Cham Empire trade routes that dominated trade in South East Asia to Marianas. The Chamorro people of Marianas may have got their name from Cham empire traders .

My understanding is that there are ruins underwater that may be additional cities and indicating seismic calamity.

Wow, 'the indus river valley civilization' is so often used as a punchline when mentioning early human societies, I had no idea this much was known about them! Having recently gone on a bit of a bronze age rabbit hole, the idea that there was a peaceful, mostly egalitarian society NOT founded on eternal war and conquest is a nice counterpoint to mesopotamia... but still sad that they collapsed anyway. It's sobering that one of humanity's earliest and most successful social experiments ended up falling not to outside invasion, but to environmental mismanagement. (assuming the theories are correct, of course)

> but still sad that they collapsed anyway. They did not collapse. That part of the world turned into a desert. So, the inhabitants migrated to other places. As he mentioned at 10:38, the civilization flourished on the banks of river Saraswathi. My great, great grandfather 'Bharadwaja' used to live there. They used to call that region 'Brahmavartha'. Later my ancestors migrated to a region called 'Dandakaranya' on the banks of river Godavari (the British called it Deccan plateau). 1000 years ago, a great king invited my ancestors to come further south, to a region called 'Karnata desha' on the banks of river Kaveri. We have settled here since then. But we still follow the language, culture, customs and religion of Saraswathi civilization.

Indus Valley Civilization is not a taboo topic. It is the Aryan invasion into India which is taboo, and that too, only in Northern India. The Hintutva nationalists there are convinced that it was ancient Indians who were real Aryans. They even believe that these original indians marched out into the West to civilize the rest of the word. The current ruling party (BJP) is cashing into this mass superstition in view of the 2024 general elections.

I don’t know as much as I would like to about this wonderful civilization, but I do think it was among the greatest ones of the world. I think it’s fortunate that the earliest, British, discoverers ignored its ruins, the earliest “archaeological investigations” were limited to really only treasure hunting at that time (~1850). Besides, the Indian peoples whose heritage it is are by far the best to excavate these ancient sites. It always irked me that the land of my ancestors, ancient Greece, was considered the exclusive property of British and German archaeologists for so long. Greek antiquities belong to us Greeks, and Indian antiquities to India. Both countries have long had the best abilities and backgrounds to study and interpret the remains of ancient civilizations left by their ancestors. (That said, I’m grateful to the UK for helping us fight against the Nazi occupation of Greece in WWII). I wish there was more written about in during the Bronze Age, but alas, literacy was quite rare everywhere then and what was produced is unlikely to have survived in significant quantities, except by rare chance.

Probably because British and German money financed the maintenance and study of those sites while the common Greeks nor the Greek government didn't give a flying fvck about it, letting them fall in dereliction and plunder to build their rural shacks. Only when historical tourism became a thing and there was money to be made, the Greeks started to pay attention to their sites and artifacts. If they were already being kept, the British and Germans would never had taken hold of them, would they? I agree those artifacts should be returned to Greece, but Greece should pay back every cent spent by investors to retrieve said artifacts.

in fact it was the most idyllic civilisation of its time,relatively egalitarian high-livingstandards for most of its civilians with such a progress wealthy harmonious civilisation without great famines or whatever and may have not even doiing any animal or human-sacrifices to their gods, with almost modern-ideas about public and personal-hygiene where everyone hold about it with its infrastructure in those time so advanced with much great innovative efforts in organisation standardisation public-baths,good buildings and roads so great at planning in its city-building and prosperous commerce-civilsation and less authoritarian or theocratic with less state-violence between cities or with other nations and did not involve in conquest atleast then comparing with contemparily middle-eastern-civilisations and hold peacefull relations-ships with nearby civilisation for trade.such a order wealth peace and fertile-soils to do good agriculture with relative stable and rainy climate that it is not a utopia but in bronze-age period this was the one it came closest to that idyllic-notion of a utopian-society with scarce societal-violence or lack of real tyrannic regimes and did not glorify conquest and violence and most people for those time atleast enjoying relative goodlivingstandards so it seems as a civilisation!not enduring war famine or whatever caused internal chaos and conflicts for centuries that make for me a idyllic society what humanly speaking is possible.
