The Indus River civilization, known for its advanced urban planning, trade networks, and sophisticated drainage systems, highlights the importance of adaptability and innovation in reform. Its decline may serve as a cautionary tale about the need for sustainable practices and responsiveness to environmental challenges. Examining its governance and social structures can inspire modern reforms that prioritize inclusivity, resilience, and effective resource management.

Did the ancient Greeks have no written language but still produced a very successful civilization?

The ancient Greeks did have a written language, notably the Greek alphabet, which emerged around the 8th century BCE. This development allowed for the recording of literature, philosophy, and administrative matters, contributing significantly to their successful civilization. Prior to the Greek alphabet, the Mycenaean civilization used a form of writing called Linear B, indicating that written language has been a part of Greek culture for millennia. Thus, the notion that they had no written language is inaccurate.
