Harappan and Mesopotamian civilizations both emerged as early urban centers around river valleys, with Harappa located along the Indus River and Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. They shared similarities in their advanced agricultural practices, trade networks, and urban planning, featuring well-organized cities with sophisticated drainage systems. Additionally, both civilizations developed writing systems and engaged in long-distance trade, reflecting their complex economies and social structures.
the cities of the harappan civilazation were planned cities.
The Harappan civilization, located in the Indus Valley, typically featured standardized burial practices with graves often containing pottery, jewelry, and sometimes elaborate seals, indicating a focus on uniformity and community. In contrast, Mesopotamian cemeteries were more diverse, reflecting a range of burial practices influenced by social stratification, with varying grave goods depending on the individual's status. Additionally, while Harappan burials tended to be less elaborate and often lacked monumental structures, Mesopotamian sites frequently included more significant tombs and elaborate burial rituals. This disparity highlights the differing cultural values and social structures of the two civilizations.
Mesopotamian civilization develped by Egypt(and included some of its land) and between the Mediterranean Sea and Persian Gulf. The civilization was centralized in the fertile cresant between the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers because of the fertile land, hence the name 'fertile cresant.
The Indus Valley Civilization (IVC) was a Bronze Age civilization (3300-1300 BCE; mature period 2600-1900 BCE) located in the western region[1] ofSouth Asia,[2] and spread over what are now Pakistan, northwest India, and eastern Afghanistan.[3] Flourishing in the Indus River basin, the civilization[n 1]extended east into the Ghaggar-Hakra River valley[7] and the upper reaches Ganges-Yamuna Doab;[8][9] it extended west to the Makran coast ofBalochistan and north to northeastern Afghanistan. The civilization was spread over some 1,260,000 km², making it the largest ancient civilization.The Indus Valley Civilization is also known as the Harappan Civilization, as the first of its cities to be unearthed was located at Harappa, excavated in the 1920s in what was at the time the Punjab province of British India (now in Pakistan).[10] Excavation of Harappan sites has been ongoing since 1920, with important breakthroughs occurring as recently as 1999.[11] There were earlier and later cultures, often called Early Harappan and Late Harappan, in the same area of the Harappan Civilization.
Mesopotamian (means land in-between the rivers) a+ ;)

The drainage system of harappan civilization was very well civilized system

The Mesopotamian civilization, particularly the Sumerians, Babylonians, and Assyrians, included ziggurats in their culture. These ancient stepped pyramids were used as temples and religious centers, serving as a link between heaven and earth.
Their society did not like great differences between social classes or the display of wealth by rulers.

Sumer is an ancient civilization in Mesopotamia. It is the worlds first civilization. Mesopotamian means "The land between the rivers." The two rivers are the Tigris and Euphrates. Sumer is where the two rivers converge (converge means to come together).
The Harappan civilization was located in the Indus River Valley, in present-day Pakistan and northwest India. It thrived between approximately 2600 BCE and 1900 BCE, and was one of the world's earliest urban civilizations.
