Indus Valley Civilization | Microschool Dev

The Indus Valley Civilization (IVC), also known as the Harappan Civilization, was a Bronze Age urban culture. It was centered around the fertile plains of the Indus River and the Ghaggar-Hakra river system. The IVC had trade networks that connected them to Mesopotamia and Persian Gulf regions. Its influence stretched across much of modern-day Pakistan, northwestern India, and parts of Afghanistan, centered around the fertile plains of the [[indus-river|Indus River]] and the now-seasonal Ghaggar-Hakra river system. Characterized by sophisticated urban planning, standardized weights and measures, and a unique, yet undeciphered, script, the IVC represents a pivotal chapter in the history of human civilization, leaving behind a legacy of advanced engineering and societal organization.
