| Season 1 - Before The Egyptians The Indus Valley - Show #7  The underlying efficiency of the ancient Indus Valley civilization is
remarkable. The Harappan government was very complex, and yet very
capable. Harappan art indicates that the people of the Indus Valley had fine artistic sensibilities. However,
their script has yet to be deciphered.The underlying efficiency and prosperity of this civilization is accurately reflected by the Harappan social structure, which integrated several different ethnic and religious groups and ensured an enduring peace. No evidence has ever been found indicating a history of wars, or even a battle. Extensive work carried out over the last 30 years in the Indian sub-continent centered around the Indus civilization and excavations at Mehargarh, Naushera and Perak have brought out an uninterrupted archaeological sequence from 7000BC to 600BC. |
