What do natural barriers do for the Indus valley civilization?
The occurrence of natural barriers, during the Harappan period would have been an annual inundation of the sites as the natural reservoir engulfing them grew with run-off from Himalayas.
Why do Historians know so little about Indus river valley?
The problem is not that less is known about the Indus River Valley civilization; the real problem is that much of what we are told by academics about this culture is untrue. We are told that horses, Sanskrit and wheels did not exist in India/Pakistan during Indus valley times, but the truth is that every level of Harappa (and many other IVC sites) have yielded bones of true horses (Equus caballus) verified by the biologist Sandor Bokonyi. Toy oxcarts with wheels have been found at several IVC sites. As for Sanskrit and Prakrit, Indus seals deciphered as long ago as 2010 have been found to encode such common Sanskrit names as Ravi, Mani, Aprian, and so forth. See the Indus Script Dictionary page on Facebook for more details.
Who conquered the Indus valley from King Darius and the Persian Empire?
Apparently Alexander the Great conquered it and gave it to the local King Porus.Another view:That is the conundrum. The Persian Empire had ceased to exist by then and Darius had been murdered by his own princes. Alexander was in fact attacking King Porus to strip him of the northern Indus Valley. He allegedly defeated Porus and amazingly gave it back to him and threw in the added gift of the kingdom of his own loyal ally King Taxiles who had helped him defeat Porus. This is a befuddled story which suggests that Alexander didn't defeat Porus or conquer the Indus Valley.
Was the Persian Empire driven out of the Indus River valley by Magadha?
There are several eras of Magadha - if you are asking about the Maurya Empire, it was established as far as the Indus valley by 322 BCE, by which time the Persian Empire had been taken over by Alexander the Great's Macedonian Empire which itself had already unravelled in the east by the time of his death in 323 BCE. So no, the Persian Empire had ceased to exist by the time the Mauryan Empire took over the Indus. Alexander was fortunate his soldiers refused to go east into India as he would have run into the overwhelming power of the expanding Mauryans and been exterminated.
What is one conclusion about the Indus Valley Civilization?
The Indus Valley is one of the world's earliest urban civilizations, along with its contemporaries Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt. At its peak, the Indus Civilization may have had a population of well over five million. Inhabitants of the ancient Indus river valley developed new techniques in handicraft (carnelian products, seal carving) and metallurgy (copper, bronze, lead, and tin). The civilization is noted for its cities built of brick, roadside drainage system, and multistoried houses.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).[11] Excavation of Harappan sites has been ongoing since 1920, with important breakthroughs occurring as recently as 1999.[12] There were earlier and later cultures, often called Early Harappan and Late Harappan, in the same area of the Harappan Civilization. The Harappan civilisation is sometimes called the Mature Harappan culture to distinguish it from these cultures. Up to 1,999, over 1,056 cities and settlements have been found, out of which 96 have been excavated,[13] mainly in the general region of the Indus and Ghaggar-Hakra river and its tributaries. Among the settlements were the major urban centres of Harappa, Lothal, Mohenjo-daro (UNESCO World Heritage Site), Dholavira, Kalibanga, and Rakhigarhi.[14]The Harappan language is not directly attested and its affiliation is uncertain since the Indus script is still undeciphered. A relationship with the Dravidian or Elamo-Dravidian language family is favored by a section of scholars.[15][page needed][16]
