Severe and Persistent River Droughts Led to Collapse of Indus Valley Civilization

Severe and persistent river droughts, each lasting longer than 85 years, affected the Indus basin between 4,400 and 3,400 years ago, according to new research. The findings may help explain why this ancient civilization slowly declined, and highlights how environmental factors could shape ancient societies.

New climate modeling shows the Harappan world shifted not through sudden collapse but centuries of recurring drought. A story of resilience, adaptation, and the limits of river civilizations. #Archaeology #Paleoclimate #IndusValley #Anthropology anthropology.net/p/when-rivers

Indus Valley civilisation

This map illustrates the extent and key urban centers of the Indus Valley Civilization (circa 3300–1300 BCE), one of the world’s earliest complex societies. Spanning parts of modern-day Pakistan and northwest India, this civilization was notable for its large, well-planned cities, sophisticated infrastructure, and extensive trade networks.

The swastika, a symbol deeply rooted in the Indus Valley Civilisation (claimed to be a non-Indo-European, Dravidian culture), is also prominent in Indo-European traditions. This symbol’s presence across diverse cultures remains an enigma.

In #China, New Year's Day falls in spring, but the exact date is determined by when the new moon falls in relation to #Dongzhi, the winter solstice festival.

The #RigVeda also implies that the winter solstice marked New Year's Day in the #IndusValley civilisation, but is unfortunately too vague to say much with certainty.

I am now going to talk in a somewhat more abstract and philosophical way about time, drawing on #Jyotisha
