How centuries of drought doomed the Indus Valley Civilization, one of the world’s oldest civilizations

A new study provides the strongest evidence yet that long, recurring droughts played a decisive role in reshaping — and ultimately weakening — the Indus Valley Civilization, one of the world’s earliest urban societies. Flourishing between roughly 5,000 and 3,500 years ago, this civilization built sophisticated cities such as Harappa and Mohenjo Daro, managed extensive water systems, and maintained a long-distance trade network across South Asia and into Mesopotamia...

La misteriosa civiltà della Valle dell’Indo. Moltissimi volumi parlano di quella che viene denominata la civiltà della Valle dell’Indo a volte definita cultura di Harappa. Riguardo tale civiltà dobbiamo dire che tombe di una classe dominante non se ne sono mai trovate nella vasta estensione dell’impero della Valle dell’Indo ragion per cui è possibile che quel misterioso popolo non avesse dei nobili...

$1 million prize offered to decipher 5,300-year-old Indus Valley script

The government of Tamil Nadu has offered a $1-million reward for anyone who can decode the cryptic script of the Indus Valley Civilization (IVC), one of the world’s oldest urban cultures. Chief Minister M.K. Stalin made the announcement as a follow-up to a new study suggesting striking similarities between symbols in the Indus script and those in ancient Tamil pottery.

The Indus Valley Civilization, also known as the Harappan Civilization, flourished 5,000 years ago in the fertile plains of the Indus in what is now present-day northwest India and Pakistan. Characterized by sophisticated urban planning and commercial networks, the civilization left a script that, for over a century, has resisted all efforts at deciphering by scholars...

New research confirms existence of ancient Harappan dockyard at Lothal, India

Lothal, a key Harappan port situated about 30 kilometers inland from the Gulf of Khambhat in Gujarat, India, has been at the center of a long-standing archaeological debate. Known for its well-preserved brick structures, including a large trapezoidal basin believed by some to be a dockyard, Lothal has intrigued researchers for its potential role as a major trading hub in the Harappan Civilization during the Bronze Age (circa 2600–1900 BCE).

Despite its historical significance, Lothal’s dockyard hypothesis has been a matter of dispute for decades. Recently, new research led by the Indian Institute of Technology-Gandhinagar (IITGn) has provided fresh evidence supporting the dockyard theory...

The Indus Valley Civilization (c. 7000-c. 600 BCE) is among the oldest in the world but, as it was only “discovered” in 1829 – after ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian sites had already been excavated – many of the “firsts” of civilization were attributed to these cultures while, today, scholars believe they should be credited to the region of modern-day India. #History #Harappa #IndianSubcontinent #Mohenjo-daro #HistoryFacts worldhistory.org/collection/25

Raymond Allchin states that there is a powerful argument against the idea that the #Brahmi script has Semitic borrowing because the whole structure and conception is quite different. He suggests that the origin may have been purely indigenous with the Indus script as its predecessor.[76] However, Allchin and Erdosy later in 1995 expressed the opinion that there was as yet insufficient evidence to resolve the question.[77] G.R. Hunter in his book The Script of #Harappa and #Mohenjodaro and Its Connection with Other Scripts (1934) proposed a derivation of the Brahmi alphabets from the #IndusScript, the match being considerably higher than that of #Aramaic in his estimation.[78]
