The Indus River Valley civilizations was one of the first areas populated in South Asia. The Indus Civilization lasted from around 2800 BC to around 1800 BC. The area was discovered during the 1920's when the city of Harappa was found and studied. This area was located in what is now Pakistan.

They were polytheistic.

The Aryan society didn't move their herds of cattle when they travel ,also they would stop at a place build a civilization unlike the Harappans.

for unknown reasons

he didnt he died of sickness when he still wanted to go into battle

Because in that time it was a great feature to live near a river due to the fact thar the enemies would have had to cross the river. So for protection.

Egyptian Civilization

Indus Valley Civilization

1. According to conventional Egyptian sources the civilization came in to existence around 150 B.C.

Indus valley civilization developed 3000 years ago.

2. It developed along the river Nile, Egypt

It developed along the river Indus, India

3. Ancient Egyptian writings are called hieroglyphics which was deciphered.

Their language has not been still deciphered.

4. Agriculture proved to be the main source of Egypt's wealth. In the marketplace, one could find cattle, goats, pigs, and fowl. The market was also home to a large variety of fish from the Nile

The economic wealth of the Indus River civilization emanated primarily from horticulture. There were enormous granaries built in each village

5. They had a government system similar to a monarchy, where, as the head of state, the pharaoh had absolute power. Motivating and organizing these activities was a bureaucracy of elite scribes, religious leaders, and administrators under the control of a Pharaoh who ensured the cooperation and unity of the Egyptian people.

Unfortunately, apart from their intelligent design of the cities, very little is known about the Indian system of government. Some believe that it was an authoritarian government, due to the grid plan of their cities as well as other factors. However, many suggest that the political leaders were also priests. They believe that the Indian government was theocratic and that a conservative priesthood governed.

6. The ancient Egyptians excelled in quarrying, surveying and construction techniques that facilitated the building of monumental pyramids. The construction of the Egyptian pyramids has dumbfounded the world for generations

The Indus River civilization was more technologically advanced than the Egyptian civilization. The cities of the Indus Valley Civilization were well-organized and solidly built out of brick and stone. Their drainage systems, wells and water storage systems were the most sophisticated in the ancient world.

7. The power and strength of Egypt proved to be their own downfall as the Egyptians became prideful and arrogant. Assyria invaded Egypt around 650 B.C, resulting in the plundering and destruction of many temples. The Assyrians were eventually forced to retreat, but the Egyptians were devastated. Later, in the fifth century B.C., Persians invaders attacked and conquered Egypt.

Several explanations have been formulated like-- repeated flooding of towns located on the river banks and due to ecological changes. Some historians do not rule out invasions by barbarian tribes and massacre in the northwest as the cause of the decline of the Harappan civilization. When the initial migrations of the Aryan people into India began about 1500 BC, the developed Harappan culture had already been practically wiped out.

What I'm as king you a question

They were Priest-Kings. There technology even at this remote time was considerable and they had many devices available to them which have not yet been discovered in the modern era.

By analyisng and dating the ruins and artefacts which have been found there.

Geometry contributed in building the drainage system for for all the civilizations......notice that they never overflew and they had a sloping 'floor' so that water may be directed to the outskirts of the civilization.

The houses were built on the basis of geometry. They were in the shape of cuboids or cubes. They had specifically designed 'holes' in the walls so as to allow sunlight into the rooms/house.

Mainly, the whole city's layout was geometrically shaped and planned.

For more details read your history books.

deforestation invasions also skeletons were found piled one of top of the other and all natural disasters like famine. etcd...these were the things that ended the i v c or or it may be knowned as decline of the i vi c

Indians belonging to Hindu, Jain, Sikh and Buddhist faiths believe in rebirths.

India and Pakistan are presently located in the area of the Indus valley. The river Indus originating from the western Himalayas passes through Kashmir dividing it into POK (Pakistan Occupied Kashmir) and Jammu and Kashmir of Indian Union. China, Afghanistan and Nepal are other neighboring countries attached to Indus Civilization.
