An Ancient Civilization Without Wars? | Harappa (Indus Valley)
No organized religion, no central government and seemingly no wars — the Harappan, or Indus Valley, civilization is one of the most mysterious and amazing societies of the ancient world.
Located in what is now Pakistan, northwest India and parts of Afghanistan, the Harappans were ahead of their time.
Let's explore the rise and fall (roughly 3000-1500 B.C.) of this incredible ancient people along with some of their accomplishments, architecture, culture and mysteries.
This video will introduce you to the world of the Indus Valley Civilization — water engineering, urban planning, the so-far undeciphered Indus Script and much more.
