Indus river valley lesson ppt
Archaeologists have learned about the Indus Valley Civilization through excavations of two major cities along the Indus River: Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa. Both cities had sophisticated water and sewage systems and were laid out in a well-planned grid pattern. Artifacts found at the sites, such as seals, figurines and skeletons, provide evidence of the civilization's advanced urban planning and culture. However, the writing of the Indus Valley Civilization remains undeciphered.

HARAPPA CIVILIZATION BY IRFAN
The Indus Valley Civilization (IVC) was a Bronze Age civilization (3300–1300 BCE; mature period 2600–1900 BCE) mainly in the northwestern regions of South Asia, extending from what today is northeast Afghanistan to Pakistan and northwest India.[2] Indus "is one of three in the 'Ancient East' that, along with Mesopotamia and Pharonic Egypt, was a cradle of early civilization in the Old World," and of the three, the most widespread.[3] It flourished in the basins of the Indus River, which flows through the length of Pakistan, and along a system of perennial, mostly monsoon-fed, rivers that once coursed in the vicinity of the seasonal Ghaggar-Hakra river in northwest India and eastern Pakistan.[4][5][6] Aridification of this region during the 3rd millennium BCE may have been the initial spur for the urbanisation associated with the civilization, but eventually also reduced the water supply enough to cause the civilization's demise, and to scatter its population eastward.
Review Indus River Valley
The document discusses the Indus River Valley civilization, one of the earliest civilizations in South Asia. It formed along the Indus River valley in modern-day Pakistan around 2500 BC. The civilization included major urban settlements like Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, which had populations of 30,000-40,000 people and were laid out in an organized grid pattern. The Harappan civilization developed new technologies and engaged in trade, but its writing system remains undeciphered and it declined around 1900 BC for unknown reasons.
Chapter 1 Overview Indus Valley
The Indus River Valley civilization arose around 2600 BCE and was centered around the cities of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro. The cities had well-planned layouts with modern plumbing and drainage systems. Writing from this time has yet to be translated. The civilization faced challenges from unpredictable rivers and strong winds/monsoons. It declined around 1500 BCE, possibly due to natural disasters, overuse of land, or invaders.

Evolution of human settlement 02
This presentation is intended for students of Architectural History.
In geography, statistics and archaeology, a settlement, locality or populated place is a community in which people live. The complexity of a settlement can range from a small number of dwellings grouped together to the largest of cities with surrounding urbanized areas. Here is an attempt to undestand how early human settlemets evolved with time. Tis presentation is Part-2 of 7.
WH Chapter 3 Section 1 Notes
In 1922, archaeologists in northwestern India discovered evidence of the ancient Indus River valley civilization dating back 3500 years. The Indus River valley civilization emerged around 2500 BC and flourished for 1000 years in the Indus River valley located in present-day Pakistan, with major cities like Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro. This well-organized civilization had advanced urban planning with standardized bricks, baths, drainage, and sewage systems, but vanished without a trace by 1500 BC.

Development Of Indus Valley Civilization
The Indus Valley Civilization flourished along the Indus River in ancient India between 2600-1900 BCE. It had two major cities, Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa, which featured advanced architecture including sanitation systems. The civilization engaged in extensive trade and agriculture. It declined around 1900 BCE possibly due to environmental changes, though the specific reasons are unknown.
Indu Culture
The Indus Valley civilization emerged along the Indus River in South Asia around 3200 BC. People began building planned cities around 2500 BC, with careful design that included fortified citadels, water and sewage systems, suggesting a strong central government. While the Harappan language has not been deciphered, the uniform culture extended over a large area and artifacts show a prosperous society with some religious figures that link to later Hindu traditions. Trade networks developed to move goods like gold, silver and cotton via the Indus River and overland routes.

Ancient india
Ancient India was home to great civilizations that developed along the Indus and Ganges Rivers despite the land's varied terrain and extreme weather. The Indus Valley Civilization, also known as the Harappan civilization, built well-organized brick and stone cities along the Indus River from around 2600 to 1700 BC. They developed systems of weights, measurement, and trade. Around 2000 BC, a group of migrants called the Aryans arrived from Central Asia and settled in the Indus River Valley. Hinduism later emerged as one of the main religions in India over 2000 years ago, with early written records of Hindu gods and beliefs dating to around the fourth century AD, though oral traditions supporting these beliefs predated the
River Civs Intro

Human environment settlement, transportation and communication
Early human settlements developed near river valleys which provided water and fertile land for growing crops. As populations grew and trade increased, settlements expanded into larger towns and cities. However, rapid urbanization has led to problems of overcrowding, pollution, and lack of infrastructure in many cities, forcing some people to live in slums. Rural areas offer more open space but lack advanced amenities found in cities. Proper planning is needed to manage urban growth and improve living conditions for growing urban populations.
India
The Indus Valley Civilization was one of the four largest ancient urban civilizations located in the northwestern region of the Indian subcontinent along the Indus River basin. Harappa, an important city in the Indus civilization, flourished from around 2600 to 1700 BCE and remains inhabited today. The Indus Valley Civilization had a similar geography to ancient Egypt and Peru, with rich agricultural lands surrounded by highlands and desert. Semi-permanent settlements in the Indus region date back to 9,000 BCE.

The spread of greek culture
King Philip of Macedonia united Macedonia and built a strong army that conquered many Greek city-states. His son, Alexander the Great, further expanded the empire by conquering Persia, Egypt, and lands as far as the Indus River over 11 years. After Alexander's death in 323 BC, his vast empire began to decline but Greek culture continued to spread through temples, marketplaces, language, and theaters. The city of Alexandria became an important center of trade, business, and learning. Greek mathematicians and scientists helped cities develop by making discoveries in fields like geometry and astronomy.

Ancient Greece Section 2 Religion, Art and Philosophy
Athens grew rich and powerful in the 5th century BC during the Golden Age. It was a center of philosophy, drama, and the arts under the leadership of Pericles. He strengthened Athenian democracy and sponsored construction projects, such as rebuilding the Parthenon temple on the Acropolis.

Early Greek Civilization Section 1
The Ancient Minoans and Mycenaeans were early Greek civilizations. The Minoans lived on the island of Crete where they built palaces and established a trade network, gaining power through trade. They were later conquered by the Mycenaeans who lived on the Greek mainland and spoke an early form of Greek. After the Trojan War, Greece entered a Dark Age period of poverty and isolation as trade collapsed and people moved to islands or Asia Minor for protection. City-states later emerged from villages and were ruled by kings or aristocrats.
