What were some dangers to crops?

The Egyptian crops depended on the Nile River. Before the flooding season, the men would sow seeds in the bank. Once the river floods, they would be able to know whether or not their crops will succeed. If the river does not flood enough, the crops will die. If the river floods too much, the crops would drown, and water would reach their houses. To ensure a good yield, the egyptians would pray and give offerings to the gods, as to please them.


Where did the Indus Valley people live?

History presents no clear facts about the religion of people of the Indus valley civilization. They might have been nature worshipers, or perhaps they followed some Pre-Aryan or Pre-Vedic religion, most probably Jainism (facts relating to Jainism are supported by some of their practices and the seals that have been found there). Fire altars were found at one Indus site, and figures similar to Skanda and Shiva, Hindu deities, have been found on some Indus seals.


What Food Did the Indus river Provide?

I think that the Indus river provides a plant which is used to make paper. Also the water from the river provides rich soil for farming. So the people that lived around there were farmers. The river also provides transportation for the people that live around there. This is good for trading around the world. The water there also provided baths. As for the food i really don't know. Imagine the soil. What types of plants (the ones you can eat like grapes carrots, etc.) grow there. Since the river provides rich farming you can see what types of food grow from the soil. Remember that a back then, they did not have all these fancy gardening tools such as gloves, etc. Some places that are similar to this is Mesopotamia and Egypt. Egypt has the Nile that also provides them with gifts from the Nile river. And Mesopotamia has two rivers that are the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. These places are called river valley civilizations. Because the rivers help them survive. The indus vally sivilization is also sometimes called Indus Ghaggar-Hakra civilization or Indus-Sarasvati civilization. Sarascati is a name of another river. Sarasvati is also a name of an Indian god. Along with Durga, Laxmi, and one more that i forgot the name of.
