    The Indus Valley civilization emerged around 2600 BC along the Indus River, with major cities like Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa laid out on grid patterns with complex plumbing. Farmers grew crops and traded goods. The cities declined around 1750 BC due to flooding and were abandoned. Aryan groups then migrated in and established kingdoms along the Ganges River, developing a caste system and polytheistic religions. Early civilizations also arose in China, with the Shang dynasty from 1650 BC and the Zhou dynasty from 1027 BC, developing advanced science, technology, and trade despite geographical barriers separating regions.
