In Search of Meluhha: The Story of Mohenjodaro
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- In Search of Meluhha frames the Indus Valley Civilization within the current context of South Asia. Recent Indus floods have highlighted the precarious nature of the Indus River Delta. New research has shown that the Indus Civilization existed at a ‘Goldilocks moment’. With the thawing of tensions between India and Pakistan, In Search of Meluhha is the kind of a Goldilocks project that presents a view of pre-history irrespective of nationalist or religious identity.
The filmmakers begin the Story of Mohenjodaro with breathtaking visuals that take the viewers to the flood plains of Indus River. The subsequent narrative is driven by insightful interviews that articulate subject’s relation to Indus valley civilization and the inspiring effect it has had on their identity as artists, artisans and activists. As a short form documentary, In Search of Meluhha presents a rare opportunity to experience the remnants of a unique civilization and to learn from our combined human experience.
We love these sites they are part of our history, we were Hindus, budhists, Zoroasters and now we are majorly Muslims,but we may be some thing other in the next millennia,but mohinjodaro will stay❤️

@IIIII hinduism is descendant of the religion so don't worry we are here to stay
This documentary is more interesting than recent Bollywood movie, thanks!
manish narang A dubious compliment...
lolx yeah
but bahuballi is a masterpiece
Thanks for making this holly documentary.
NEVER BRING UP THAT SHIT, EVER NEVER EVER..EVER NEVER NEVER EVER EVER NEVER AGAIN .
Please note the subtle political comment by the guide. 'Let us send the Mullah to India and bring back the dancing girl.' Kathak is also a Hindu tradition, part of Sage Bharat's Natya Shashtra. It means 'Storytelling through Dance'. The film also gives a clue to subterranean and suppressed Sindhi Nationalism of the people living in this part of the world and how do they nurse a sense of cultural loss in present day Pakistan.
We sindhi are soffi's respect all religions few centuries before we all were Hindus. even after conversion before 1900 we followed all our wedding and other tradition like sindhi Hindus because we were unite as Sindhi Nation. but then slowly slowly Mullas from other Areas penetrate among our soft minds and they started imposing some rigid Islamics rules. so few our black sheeps are spreading hatred for Hindus.
and one thing more,,, must repeat and lesson the world of man who wearing ajrak .. if Mullas go here to india then there is no better thing more than that of "
that is good to know. I myself am of kashmiri origin and the hatred some of my former brethrin have for us because of the influence of fucking hardline extremist fools, even though we had lived together as family for hundreds of years, makes me weep. I want to return to my homeland. You give me some hope for humanity.
Kathak is traditional dance of Kerala, but this kathak was inspired from the Rasalila dance of KRishna
Fayaz Ali love and respect for you brother
Fayaz Ali bhai very loyal reply bahut kum log maante ha iss baat ko
An absolute joy to watch. Great work on a Great Heritage. Loved it. Probably one of the finest and unbiased work available publicly on Indus Valley Civilization. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome documentary. Thanks for sharing. Love from India
By far the best documentary on Mohenjodaro I have seen. Thanks for uploading
Excellent work! I have been searching for something like this for a long time now. Keep it up!
Very sad this site should be protected
recently it is found that it is the oldest civilization in the world, at least 8000-10000 years old. pakistan govt must conserve these sites with ultimate effort.
The satellite evidence of the ancient dried up River Sarasvati and the underwater ruins off of the coast of Gujerat indicate the huge amount of exploration & study still to do. India & Pakistan archaeologists teams need to really work cooperatively on both sides of the political border. And ordinary people should be educated about the importance of the work....If people disrespect their ancestors and the roots of their culture & civilisation, they have no hope for a good future.
Can you please share me the evidence. I want to research on oldest civilization.
@@shubham42150
Mesopotamia, is the oldest.
@@optimusprime5199 indus would have been the oldest but they have found any litrature from 9000 year old cities
and if you consider cities as civilization then gobekli tepe from turkey us oldest
Bro just a correction, its not this civilisation, the oldest in Pakistan is Mehargarh, If I am not wrong it is the oldest civilisation after Aleppo. Indus valley is 5000 years old, Mehargarh is 7000-9000 years old. You can correct me if I am wrong.
A wonderful story. You gave an excellent presentation. Thanks to this I'll be googling Indus valley all night!
I hope pakistan takes more efforts to conserve these sites.. this is a part of both indias as well as pakistans cultural heritage.. kya bewakoof log hain jo un eeton se raste aur construction ka kaam karte hain.. this is heart breaking.. atleast kuch proper security to rakh den udhar
ur right its really heartbreaking
they deny to have it was there culture because the civilization was related to Hinduism. sad!!
there was nothing like hinduism or budhism in that period..and we dont deny this truth that we are part of this culture. open google.com.pk and see there..but today on 14th august.
Raja Ali i am not taking about everyone.. but I have read the opinion about certain people and that's sad :(
By the way happy Independence day to you!
thank u so much bro, and tomorrow will be ur independence day, so i wish u in advance..happy independence day. :) and check on google.com.pk how they wish pakistan on independence day, and we are very happy for that..yet some people are not happy with that but almost 80 percent are happy and feel proud. check it now bro.
I lost it when that person said "Abraham's Grandfather" 😂😂😂 wtf vai isse a66a tw koi bachcha museum main job kar leta
This is because of the Islamic influence ! If you don’t relate it to Islam then it is from kafirs ! And as always muslims don’t want to identify themselves with Hindus !
Ibrahim father was not a Muslim if you know about history ignorent man. He was idol worshiper. Ibrahim was the only monotheist in his family.
Ibrahim father Azar was not a muslim. He was ideal worshiper. Mostly people in Sindh influenced by hinduism.
@Spartacus Singh Islam has existed since the first human Prophet Adam PBUH set foot on Earth. It was just called by different names throughout time since before the arrival of the last Prophet Muhammad PBUH, you'll have to do some research and learning to understand Islam properly. The message was always the same and that was to attain peace by "Submission to the will of the Almighty God".
@Spartacus Singh I'm not brainwashed... this is the truth, if you look at every other major religion in the world they have monotheistic roots, Islam is based upon the idea of strict monotheism. Islam revives the previously distorted message of God to its true form which was always to attain peace by "Submission to the will of the Almighty God" that's what the word Islam literally means. If you still think I am brainwashed then 1.8 billion people in the world who are Muslims are also brainwashed.
This is a great documentary. Loved the personal stories. Thank you for the amazing work 🙏🏽
Great effort for such nobel cause, taking us to our roots... THAT OF HUMANITY AND ...CIVILIZATION... which we the present era genrations lack the most...So sad!
Love Mohenjendaro.
Excellent. Thanks for sharing. It shows how we were before religions came to destory our lives ... Rgds
true xD
this comment should be on the top
True..
are you ashamed of mentioning "ISLAM"?? Both Mohenjo Daro and Harappa civilizaion are the birth place of Hinduism...
Saptarshi Sengupta do you have any credible source to prove you theory?
Great Documentary : Just a thought "If you cannot accept & appreciate your own past- how sure are you about where are you headed ? "
I believe that the Indus Valley is the oldest Civilisation and cannot understand why people always think either the Sumerians or Egyptians were the first to build like this. They had places to bathe, which were communal; toilets which were flushed by an attendant on the outside of the building and larger engineering projects which captured the yearly water from the Sarasvati floods each year. They traded with Mesopotamia, and sold Lapis Lazuli, and other products such as flour, with the Sumerians. They knew about the Planets and Mathematics and the Sumerians had stayed with them before they went on to settle in Ur and other places in Mesopotamia. They could drill teeth and make thrown pots.

Knowledgeable documentary...
Love to watch more like this...
Wishes from India..
Wonderful video! Super interesting.
i want to visit mohenjodaro but i live in india
Beautiful love from India ..history is of our togetherness
A beautiful and inspiring presentation
Sir can you please make documentary films also about Harappa and other small cities of Indus Valley Civilization ?
A very sensitive production from Pakistan specially in light of the intolerant climate created by wahabism and political islam. I must appreciate the courage of the producers. Unwillingness to accept the past and the original culture as a narrative of Pakistan's identity has resulted in neglect of the site. In light of the script yet to be deciphered, and the looming danger of Talibani and wahabi hoards, it is best for Pakistani sane society to seek help and protection of this site, from international bodies least we may loose the real history of this civilisation if these animical forces destroy the site.
very fascinating and extraordinary video
Buddhist stupa in mohenjodaro ...? It is estimated to be around 4500 years old and abandoned around 4000 years ago...Buddha around 600 bc??? Can someone explain please..???
Very good observation. This one is not very clear. The stupa was thought to have been build on top of the mound during Buddhist period. However, newer research shows it might have been part of Meluhha/Mohenjodaro. We just don't know. Here is excerpt from science magazine. But since the 1920s,
archaeologists have considered the dome to be a much later
Buddhist stupa ringed by cells of monks, built using Indus bricks
2 millennia after the city’s demise. Now, University of Naples archaeologist Giovanni
Verardi says that this magnificent structure may actually be a monument
from Indus times. If he’s right, it will force Indus scholars to rethink the religious and political
nature of the civilization, long thought to lack grand temples and palaces (see main text).
Blackcrow Productions very hard to understand the reason why Buddhists would want to build a stupa on a 2000 year old ruin...?
It was built by Buddha himself before his reincarnation as Siddhartha Gautama!
sindh was Buddhist country before ummayid khalifate conqured it in AD711..so every possibitilty that Buddhist mounds exist there...whether it used Indus valley old bricks...or if it was new ones need to be find out...even malidives..was Buddhist before islam arrived there and broken Buddhist mounds are now being excavated from Maldives..
sindh was Buddhist country before ummayid khalifate conqured it in AD711..so every possibitilty that Buddhist mounds exist there...since from bc 600 to ad 700 its more than a thousand years of buddhist-hindu heritage in sindh(since in ancient India religion was not a water tight compartment,father and son or husband and wife could be a Hindu and Buddhist or Buddhist and jain)..!whether it used Indus valley old bricks...or if it was new ones need to be find out...

One of the Oldest civilization in india they don't bother about the past they need food for their politics . people have to united and the truth must always win it was easy for British to capture the diversity india but so he plans for the separation pakistan , srilanka , Bengaladesh ,maldeeves its enough stay united with our people . no one can defeat us.be support for united india don't follow the politics follow the truth one day india will be the strongest nation.
It don't matter if its Muslim or Indian all religions have done or do dumb shit... Its about protecting HISTORY
Super News Video
The founder of this civilisation and date of discovery is wrongly shown in this video...this city was discovered by R. D. Banerji, an officer of the Archaeological Survey of India, visited the site in 1919-20.He was also the Professor of Ancient Indian History and Culture at the Banaras Hindu University from 1928-30
This is the tomb-site of pakistani ruler's 26th wife.Built in 26 years by 26000 people and 266 ox.The ruler generously built a room/prison for each woman of his Harem..

Hats off to meeral abro
The name 'meluha: is similar to ' mel loka' means 'above world'.
Nice documentary on our ancient past, thanks for sharing it. We need to dig our past for betterment and peace in the present and future. In the documentary, It sometimes looked like the ancient city was coming alive.The dancing girl sculpture indeed looks bold and beautiful. We need to preserve and revive our ancient knowledge & practises. The ending song is good.
It's truly sad to see that even a common history & culture is politicalized by both the governments of Pakistan & India... 😭
The religion which started just 1500 years ago claiming that kadhak is Islamic dance.
Please preserve this valuable place or else give us back we will do that.
Yah, that was really ignorant.
i want to share your video on my facebook page please grant me permission for this
i feel for such historical places but never have had any connection to such. for me it is like an irony, "people of harappa invented toilets and today we are making toilet movie just to promote sanitation". looks more like we people of Indian peninsula have traveled back in time with time passing by.
Cool
Good very good thanks .
Calling head priest statue the father of Abraham is the most stupid thing.
yea, also calling him head priest is also as stupid. Who know who he was?
Every culture tries to make the evidence fit their view. No different here too
But they thought trading the mullah for the dancing girl would be the better deal!
In Pakistan let them be. Cause if it is not Islam related, them it would become rubble.
Anyone relating our common ancient ancestors of indus valley civilization to modern day Hinduism or Islam is dumb
Hats off to Meeral Abro and to his loving care towards this magnificent historical heritage, which is Mohenjo-Daro! What a wonderful human being!
BTW! I love the scarf he's wearing...It's a distinctive sign for the province of Sindh.

@ferzy09
Hi,
Sorry for my late reply! I have come back once again to see this wonderful documentary, and I've come across your question... My goodness! There are few people in my country that know these things, and today, a stranger comes up with this extraordinary question! Indeed, life is full of miracles! Thank you so much!
You're definitely right! There are common words in Romanian and the most widely spoken languages in India; e.g : The word "enemy" - in Romanian we say: "duşman"; in Hindi it's "dushman"; The word "room" - in Romanian we say: " camera ", in Hindi / Urdu it's "Kamra";
Then, there is a Sanskrit word " apas" which means
" water" - in Romanian we say almost the same: " apa ".
In Hinduism, OM is a sacred sound and a sacred symbol;
in Romanian when we point out or talk about a person / man/ a human being we call it : " om " . For a better example: " He is a good man", we are saying: " El este un om bun "... In addition to, we have few cities that bear Hindu Gods names like : "Deva" in the region of Transylvania, and "Agnita" ( from Hindu God Agni), which is right into the heart of our country...
Amazing isn't it?
All the very best to you!
@ferzy09
It means you're working abroad, and have the opportunity to meet Romanians ( well, I'm just guessing!)...However, I must congratulate you! Not everyone is interested in these topics; they are subtle things and require some knowledge. Definitely, you must be a wonderful person.
Thanks again!

The culture and history of the subcontinent is so fascinating. An enduring fascination for me since childhood when I first ventured into an Indian bazaar and smelled all the fragrant spices, seeing the ladies in their beautiful saris and jewellery and loving the mysterious, beautiful music. I am still entranced by this wondrous culture. Great docu and upload. Cheers from the Philippines.
You were very fortunate to have that experience and I know the emotion. It was the same for me when I visited Naples in Italy when I was 14.
Sourabh Ghosh: It doesn’t matter how many cultures we have in the subcontinent that are different! They all belong to “Akhand Bharat”
Even though we don’t have the United india we want which comprises all the nations that used to be vital constituents of “Akhand Bharata” we still believe in the map and that can never be stolen from us like the invading armies did already with so many other national chattels so many years ago.
Sourabh Ghosh: Don’t think that India was a mere pissant in the historical timeline of the world. India was a force to be reckoned with, we have evidence that we conducted trade as far as the ancient Roman Empire. So that will dispel any notions from India haters that we simply sat around with our thumbs up our asses just WAITING to be invaded!!!
Also, don’t believe your British authored history books, they will never tell you anything other than THEIR version of distorted history. Western accounts of history are very dubious and scandalous! They cannot be trusted to be relied upon! Instead you’d fare better with watching talks conducted by the “Srijan Foundation” and the “Festival of Bharat” on RUclips, in which a wide range of foreign and indigenous apologists attest to the great vastness and prestige of Indian history.
Sourabh Ghosh: It’s the job of the Indians to fight to protect and promote their ancient history of India. We can’t simply sit around debating and playing the blame game.
If you want to do your part in helping to preserve ancient Indian civilization, then spend some money and get the word around to as many people as you know! Otherwise? You might as well be one of those countless others to kiss your civilization goodbye.
Philippine also have great civilization like Cambodia Angkor wat, Myanmar Bagan, Indonesia Prambanan, Thailand, Malaysia, Loas, South Vietam[cham and khmer only] have ancient temple and old city ruins, Philippine[beutiful country name come from=Land belong of king Philippe of Spanish, Spanish Master],Philippine ancient ruins, ancient temple, old fort, royal palace build by local rajah/datu must be amazing like in Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippine[native do know what country is so spanish master give the name philippine], i love Philippine ancient temple, even aztec, inca and maya dont have iron and wheel they build great city, temple and monument. even Polynesian have temple like marae and maoi stone statue. and wooden architecture like moari archtiecture

Thank you. I am glad you appreciated the pov
Blackcrow Productions thank you so much for this upload,I am so fascinated by the indus valley civilisation, do you have any other documentaries on the Indus valley civilisation?
Its good to see how locals love this place. Pakistan govt should put extra efforts to protect and preserve these sites - there are more than 400 Sindhu valley sites is Pakistan and more than 900 in Bharat. There is a legend that even my surname roots from Arora which are direct descendants from Indus Valley Civilization. Its amazing.
The Indian and Pakistani governments need to put more efforts in preservation of our ancient sites and our great civilization.
When you try to preserve a culture, you have already destroyed it! Culture arises by a large group of people following a specific pattern. The real culture is the culture of freedom and openness.
Yes they should both pitch in. I hope our country contributes monetarily and academically to the valley sites for research and conservation. If it doesn't then it should seriously consider. It doesn't matter if the sites are across the border. Hamari apni dharohar h.

Many congratulations to Blackcrow Productions for putting this documentary. The western intellectuals and historians downplayed the ancient historical places which still exists and now emerging. The landlocked of this area - India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and up to Kazakhstan and Iran, was part of the civilization. The language and historical facts finding suggest the civilization was not only 5000 years old but much older than 5000.. even 11000 years. This should be known to every Indian and Pakistani should be proud of that they are descendent of the world oldest and most advanced civilization. Sumer is not the cradle of civilization, the history books need to be rewritten. Kushan period and dried mythological river Saraswati once flowed (indeed no more mythological as powerful satellite imagery has found the river bed). Once again thank you for reviving the old knowledge to younger generations.
Hopefully the Mohenjo Daro movie will help promote awareness. Sounds like the girl who dances and her mother will enjoy it. Also I have great hope for cultural conservation through Eurasia.
Geography of the subcontinent is Akhand Bharat, there should not have been partition, The Vedanta teaches us to seek out the Lord within and the Omnipresent Lord Manifested as Nature and everyone and everything Only the problem is being created by egotistical behavior of humans, so with peer knowledge we become good human beings, then we have free - choice. ...

This humbles and adds a responsibility to carry such a history. No matter on what side of geographical boundries we live, the common threads of past will keep us connected.
Thank you for this film. As an archaeologist with a PhD in Harappan studies, and a Sindhi, this is a special treat for me even though our knowledge of this civilization and people has vastly improved with more recent findings in India. Mohenjo Daro has a special significance for me as my mom had visited the site as a school girl when she lived in Karachi. Its terribly saddening to hear of the neglect and abuse of our shared heritage simply because it belonged to a time before modern religious beliefs. People of Pakistan should feel proud to have inherited such a rich and ancient history and that they are the caretakers of these archaeological sites which are sentinels of the first civilization on earth... This gives one more dimension to Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai's kalaam: Jeki ditho ho moon, tavhan na ditho...
Whether hindu or muslim, you are of the land of the indus valley civilisation. Religion does not come into it. This is history of all. Please continue the research.
I agree ,this is a shared site,and Indian Archeologists should be allowed to participate in the excavation of this shared history. I was so happy when Pakistan government gave the dancing girl statue to the Indian government as a good will gesture.the most amazing dancing girl.

I have read some of the comments made by individuals who know little of the context and continue to shoot off.
The discovery of Harrapa and Mohenjodaro was as a result of the colonial British road building projects of the early 20th century. The British engineers supervising the building of these roads between Bahawalpur and Sadiqabad and Larkana to Dadu found that the bricks supplied by the contractors were non-standard. This is going back to around 1905. The contractors were questioned and informed the local District Officers who then got Sir John Marshall to undertake the excavations from whom Mortimer Wheeler took over the digs. Generally, Islam has protected different faiths and their cultures. In the past fifty years in Pakistan what we have seen is somewhat similar to the same religious extremism seen in India and in other parts of the world. The oil wealth in the peninsula Arabia and the promotion of their extreme type religious beliefs have coloured Pakistani society. This however, is not the norm amongst muslim societies. Mohenjodaro, Harrapa is not just a Pakistani historic site. It belongs to the world. Pakistan and the Pakistani state have done its best in its constrained circumstances to protect the site. Yes, there is a deterioration of the brickwork due to salinity in the soil. There have been efforts to preserve these digs but a low water table and salinity are like a slow poison which is likely to destroy what are the remains of supposedly a 5000-year-old civilisation. My own humble view is that the Indus Valley Civilisation is part of an older culture which flourished during the Younger Dryas Period over 11,000 years ago. Whether you look at the classical Indian texts or the old cultural texts from the Middle East we find that Ur/ Meluha/ the Indus Valley Civilisation is all part of a continuum that I believe has existed but been ignored by mainstream academia. Prof. Omar Khan speaks of this in his interview in this programme. The deciphering of the Mohenjodaro/ Harrapan languages is one of the major challenges and if overcome will lead to a better understanding of this amazing civilization.
Nation states are a creation of the post-colonial project. If Muslims and other faiths whether Hindu, Christian, Jewish, Sikh, Buddhist etc lived together for millennia in the Indian Sub Continent, there is no reason why they cannot live peacefully today. Sadly postcolonial politics has poisoned the whole partition. Gandhiji's vision. Jinnah sahib's vision and I know of my parents and their generation was not one of hatred, ongoing violence or separation. I believe the new government in Pakistan is open to seeing cooperation with India to protect the collective heritage of the subcontinent.
This is amazing,i wana visit there someday. i request pakistani friends to pls spread awareness and keep it secure. its far far valuable than we ever think. Meluha is the worlds first smart city.please preserve this.

The day a “Rosetta Stone” like inscription having two languages , (one mohenjodaro and the other a known script may be Sumerian etc ) is discovered the puzzle of mankind’s oldest civilization will be solved
That will be one of most important discoveries of all time
shedding light on “The Mother of All Civilizations”
its not oldest or mother of civilizations...its 2nd oldest...oldest is Mesopotamia
@@eraofrage You never know until we get o know about the language.
@@marketingmettle It's not the oldest, in fact it's not even the second oldest, but third. First is Sumeria, then Egypt and then the Indus Culture Civilization. But even that can be turned on it's head because of the finds in Turkey: Gobekli Tepe and all the other Tepe's around it, which far predate everything else by thousands of years.
According to Torah, Yahweh created this plant 4000BC. Then question is Pre-4000BC there were non-monotheistic deity(s) who created this planet. Fuck monothests, evils, enemy of humanity.
Monjodaro was built by dravians
And only dravian left in Pakistan are brahvis mainly settled in balochistan and sindh while rest are in south india after invasion by aryians who are now ruling Pakistan and India
@ayush shrote Hinduism came from the aryans
As an Indian, I would really love to visit Mohenjo Daro and Harappa someday. Meeral Abro's passion for Mohenjo Daro is heartening. I wish the Pakistani Government helps people like him in conserving this ancient relic.
Pakistan Government is helpless for alive people of Pakistan. Expecting from them for the such dead place is not less than betraying ourselves.
@@GeektheGladiator says the indian what hypocrisy
Such a fascinating place, your India. I hope you get to see those places, for I never will. Good luck!
We really have to look to history to realise we are all no different to one another.
Wars and lack of information make it a necessity but nowadays with the internet and all the accouterments we shouldn't have that problem anymore when you have War and your elders are done there was no one around to tell you what is true except the government
its completely funny,rediculous,stupid and deeply sad to see that in all places of our world...politics and religion,used by politics, in order to make profits for the few ''chosen'' ones is destoying our past and our future...we absolutely need to make a new global form of educated civilians in each nation and throu them the right leaders will eventually come up..we must think study and understand again our past with the new discoveries of the last century..and also search for new ones in the open public not behind closed doors..in order to survive as a species.Or else we will be doomed..coz its globally obvious that our current corrupted fake decitfull leaders r doing a compleeeetely shiiiiiiiiitty job..this was not soo profound untill our time of information..the soonest we will realise it and act..the soonest we will recover..if a doctor doesnt give the right treatment on time to the sick patient after the correct diagnosis..the patient will be DEAD..now we r in bed already sick as hell..simple as that guys..peace..

Proud of that girl jisne bharatnatyam aur orrisi dance Sikh ke apne ancestors ki culture ko age bada rhi Hai sister keep it up
Yes I simply admire and respect that girl! Keep it up dear! I hop you get a chance to learn Bharatamatyam to your hearts content and also get to perform in places far and wide!! 🙏
It shows and ancestors of most of Indian and Pakistani are same and we both must work together to save our ancient history and culture
What do you mean by seems? We are the same. Some of us changed religion felt needed a separate state and divided the mighty India. We are the same
@@rithinreddy1635We’re not the same LoL. The Indus pretty much runs entirely through PAK and the old tributaries that ran through india don’t even exist anymore. The Aryans who then came after settled in the Indus Valley and the persian plateau. It’s true that PaK and NW india have commonalities, mainly because of the Punjab.
Exclude the Punjab and we have nothing in common to indians. And even then, Punjabi’s don’t even call themselves indians.
I request blackcrow productions to start second documentary with unbiased archeologists indologists and linguists with new findings from extreme south of India findings from Tamil Nadu to Rakhigarh, kallibangan Dolavira Lothal and so on and new findings from pakisthan in Sindh. It's our both countries anceint cultural heritage very rich in the world so advanced from findings from 3500 BCE. The sceintifically studied evidences and writing patterns. My language Telugu which is from proto Dravidic root words has sindhi, mundari, gondi, baluchi, paichachi, kuti kiya and many tribal form of spoken languages. My surname has Saini a distortion know Posani. Even Arabs Italians Iranians has Choudary titles for farmers from Afghanistan too. I belong to Choudary community from south. I strongly believe the fact we all are cousins from various groups then. Our gene flow and findings show this. We all are migrations from hunter gatherers to settlers. That's the result of great civilisation mohanjadaro and harrappan. Great contribution is done by the author and producer and it's supporting staff🙏
Incredibly interesting:
18:20 the protoshiva seal.
20:10 that ancient fertility cults of the region predates the dancing girl statuette.
I’m wondering if they continue digging into the remaining 90% of the archeological ruins, would they find burial tophets such as those found in ancient Carthage & Sumer/Mesopotamia?
16:50 the trimmed beard statuette traces to Jewish tradition of the time, so they assume that the east of Ur, where Abraham’s forefathers originate, is the Indus Valley. Plausible... but yet another clue they need to keep DIGGING into for answers.

The authors, editor, filmmaker, and photographer/artists offer a commendably honest and unbiased documentary here. I am impressed with the absence of ethnic/racial prejudice in the production. Good work!
Thank You. Begin work on your next edition.
Thank you so much, It is beautiful documentary. Common Heritage for Pakistan and India.
The history just fascinates me! I read a bit of Mahabharat and I feel this definitely has a great connection to the subcontinent! I love Sindh! And i was born in Karachi! Even though my ancestors came from Gilgit Baltistan but my grandfather settled in Masuri(India) and then he migrated from there to Pakistan in 1947! But we do have a connection undoubtedly!
We as a race and culture are connected. The pride and family values all trace back to the same origin.
Bhai, we have same origin,. THE GREAT INDIAN SUBCONTINENT
@@siddarth3955 nah you Gangetic dravidians aren't related to us, Europeans have labelled us all as brown people but that means nothing

No, this is Aryan not Dravidian. You guys are from south
who the hell cares whether this culture belongs to india or pakistan it belongs to both our countries. We all share the same blood as these people. They are all our ancestors and we should be proud of it. Indian or Pakistani we are all brothers regardless of what religion
No they don’t okay don’t erase other peoples cultures and history go claim ur own Gupta empire or something
@@zeezee5379 Guptas ruled a vast region of modern day pakistan😄😄😄.
Other people? Dude, you and ys were the same people before you converted to Islam.
We share the same ancestral blood.
The recent Genetic study of Rakhigarhi Site ( one of Harrapan site ) proves that ALL South Asians are descendants of Indus Velley civilization (IVC). IVC (Harrapan) were our ancestors who had highly developed , urbanized civilization. This civilization was most developed and bigger than all other civilization at that time 5000 yrs back.
Wrong, Aryan people came from Persia.
@@arx117 Vedic scripture do not have FOREIGN memory at all. Persian text Ahura Mazda is written in later Sanskrit.
Than how come most of all the non Pakistani south Asians have dark skin complexions if we're all the same ?
@@Anarkali07 That is not correct most Indians are not dark skinned. Some are. Skin color is related to Skin pigment's exposure to SUN not genetics. Genetics and skin color are not same thing.
@@DilipSadh The only indians who are not dark skin are either the eastern side of India's which your people call "chinki's" of the northwestern ones from western side of indian panjab + Himachal + the decendants of partition refugees
kathak is muslim ???? LMAO
NoFavours also they try to make one of the statue Muslim. Islam was like 600BC. Even Christianity was created in first century AD.
600 AD not BC

This humbles and adds a responsibility to carry such a history. No matter on what side of geographical boundries we live, the common threads of past will keep us connected.
This is a bit of cultural bias in much of the narration. The old mediterrean (Crete, Akritiri, upper Levant) cities had widespread indoor plumbing, under ground water systems, flushed toilets, indoor ovens, highly sophisticated furniture, mirrors, metalurgy, earthquake proof (as much as was possible) two and three story buildings, extraordinary textile skills, highly developed scripts and religious traditions and so on. I'm not taking anything away from the seriously advanced Indus cities. I believe those pre-planned cities and towns are much older than the sea kingdoms of the mediterranean and also probably had building techniques, water mgmt know-how, occupational skills, cultural script & religious traditions that migrated from India proper and blended with the Indus populations making for a far older, more cultutally rich civilization.
This is a really beautiful movie, thank you so much for uploading it. :) In history class, nothing captured my interest like the chapter on Indus Valley all the way in 3rd standard. I still remember an image of people bathing in the Great Bath from my textbook! I love that the movie addresses our contemporary attitude towards the ruins, and it is definitely saddening, but as it shows at the end, Mohenjo Daro lives through all of us in India and Pakistan, in the small things we say and do that we have secretly inherited from them. :)
I hope one day I will have the opportunity to cross the border and see this marvel- that is my most passionate dream in life.
Felt like these words are mine .
Even I from 3 rd std had visualised mohenjadaro. And want to see the site once in my life .
17:20 Islam never was there 5000 years back.. it was Hinduism then... This is Hindu Priest , but Jihadis are giving their blind twist..
Islam is from Adam A.S not a 1400 years old. Once a time jews and christians were on Islam, i hope you re read Islam properly, love from Larkana Sindh.

@@zamanzeb1281 I think it's the other way around brother, Islam is a fairly new religion one of the newest,
Great video. Thoroughly enjoyed. Many Indians, especially Hindus are very curious about Indus Valley civilization. Just like the Kartarpur corridor, may be Pakistan can think of a corridor for Indian Visitors. Many history and culture enthusiasts from India and other parts of the world will be able to visit this great civilization that is the combined heritage of both nations. A small step by Pakistan for a longer peace initiative.
Many of you indians have nothing to do with Indus region, you don't even live on the Indus lands, most of the indians are the Gangetic plains ones or the dravidian ones, the only people in India who are related to Indus valley are indian panjabis and people of haryana Himachal
@@Anarkali07 we don't care about your comment. I am from so called Dravida belive in one India and we behold Indus Valley Civilization very dearly to our hearts. Your opinion is much like a fly on the wall, shoo it oops it's gone. For all Indians Indus Valley Civilization is fundamental.
@@prasadkrishna6414 Yet 80% of it is in pak
@@Anarkali07 does not matter world wide Hindus and Budhists felt extremely sad when Bamiyan Budhas were demolished. Hope some crazy Islamic guy does not arise and suddenly say this all haram and demolish.
@@Anarkali07 Indus valley was spread out into Gujarat and Rajasthan too. Even upto uttar Pradesh
Tamil civilization. Meluha is a derivative of Tamil word Melaham which means upper place. In Tamil country even today there are Melaham and Keelaham (lower place). This is like Eastham and Westham in London.
Hahaha so now you want to claimed London?
Please do preserve it... A request to both the governments... Because this is our ancient collective history...
It's so stupid that people think that Bharat Natyum is not Pakistani... Pakistan made within Hind, from within Bhrat, we didn't import this land or it's history or it's cultural heritage.

Such a great information sir ✌
Great salute to person in blue kurta who also is doing hard effort to protect great civilization of mohenjadaro.i hope through this small documentary more and more pepele come to know about glorious past and government of Pakistan should make some Strichen legislation to protect the great monuments.
Lot of love from India
Please Pakistan, protect this ancient piece of wonder, don't let terrorist groups destroy it!
you worry about your own country which is currently being run by Hindu fanatics and right wing groups. Indus valley civilization is safe in Pakistan
