Question no. 34-35
The Indus River Valley was once home to the most widespread and peaceful of the
ancient civilizations: the Indus Valley civilization also referred to as the Harappan
civilization. Known for its two major cities, Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, this society
lasted from roughly 3300 B.C. to 1300 B.C., yet it was only recently rediscovered within
the last one hundred years. Studies of the long-buried sites show surprising and
interesting findings about the people, culture, and structures that made up this great
civilization. The phrase "early civilizations" usually conjures up images of Egypt and
Mesopotamia and their pyramids, mummies, and golden tombs. But in the 1920s, a huge
discovery in South Asia proved that Egypt and Mesopotamia were not the only "early
civilizations." In the vast Indus River plains (located in what is today Pakistan and
western India), under layers of land and mounds of dirt, archaeologists discovered the
remains of a 4,600-year-old city. A thriving, urban civilization had existed at the same
time as Egyptian and Mesopotamian states—in an area twice each of their sizes. The
people of this Indus Valley civilization did not build massive monuments like their
contemporaries, nor did they bury riches among their dead in golden tombs. There were
no mummies, no emperors, and no violent wars or bloody battles in their territory.
Remarkably, the lack of all these is what makes the Indus Valley civilization so exciting
and unique. While others civilizations were devoting huge amounts of time and resources
to the rich, the supernatural, and the dead, Indus Valley inhabitants were taking a
practical approach to supporting the common, secular, living people. Sure, they believed
in an afterlife and employed a system of social divisions. But they also believed
resources were more valuable in circulation among the living than on display or buried
underground. Amazingly, the Indus Valley civilization appears to have been a peaceful
one. Very few weapons have been found and no evidence of an army has been
discovered. Excavated human bones reveal no signs of violence, and building remains
show no indication of battle. All evidence points to a preference for peace and success in
achieving it. So how did such a practical and peaceful civilization become so successful?
