The reason why the Indus Valley Civilization vanished is still unknown. Not many artefacts have been found to let us gain insight into their culture. Their writing was also mostly in Sanskrit, which no one can translate in this day and age.
Much of what is 'known' about the Indus Valley Civilization is false. For instance, we are told that the writing may never be deciphered. The truth is that it was deciphered in 2010 and the results may be seen at the Indus Script Dictionary on Facebook. Claims have been made that Indus people spoke a Dravidian language, but most of the deciphered seals and inscriptions yield Prakrit or Sanskrit names and words. Claims have been made that horses did not exist in India during IVC times, yet the biologist Sandor Bokonyi identified the bones of true horses from a number of IVC sites. I've even seen textbooks that claimed that IVC people were peaceful, did not use money, and knew nothing of the Hindu religion. Yet many of the seals contain names ending in '-biren,' which means 'lord of warriors,' and gold and silver sequins were found in an IVC treasure trove in Mandi village, and several seals encode the names of Hindu deities, including Agni, Kali, Shiva, Andajan (Brahma), and Ja (Vishnu).
While there is much evidence that the Indus River Valley civilization existed they did not have writing. This limits the amount of information that could be gleaned from the evidence.
The written records have not survived except for very brief inscriptions, most of them on clay seals.
The cities had disapered beneath the silts and all memory faded, only vague references to the conquest of the city dwellers survived in Aryan oral traditions.
Historical records of the Indus Valley's ancient inhabitants are sketchy.

Although this limited outside contact, it is known that the early Indians used the Khyber pass through this range to communicate with other civilizations. In the future, groups would use this same pass to invade India. Two major cities of the Indus Valley Civilization have been discovered: Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro.
