    Ancient Indian history began with prehistoric cultures dating back 2 million years that passed through the Stone Age periods of Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic as hunter-gatherer communities, followed by the Chalcolithic Age of pastoral and farming communities between 4000-1500 BC. A notable civilization was the Indus Valley Civilization between 3000-1500 BC, which included major cities designed for trade and agriculture with domesticated animals and crafts, though its script and language remain undeciphered and the reasons for its decline are unknown.
