The cities of the ancient Indus were noted for their urban planning, baked brick houses, elaborate drainage systems, water supply systems, clusters of large non-residential buildings, and techniques of handicraft and metallurgy. Mohenjo-daro and Harappa very likely grew to contain between 30,000 and 60,000 individuals, and the civilisation may have contained between one and five million individuals during its florescence. A gradual drying of the region during the 3rd millennium BCE may have been the initial stimulus for its urbanisation. Eventually it also reduced the water supply enough to cause the civilisation's demise and to disperse its population to the east.

Wonderful. I am just blown away by ancient India I would love to see all of the astonishingly beautiful temples and learn more about them. It would take me the rest of my life and that would be ok.
Well done! But being an Indian, I disagree with the interpretations many levels.... I also think the English translation provided for the folk song is not accurate at all. Also I don't understand why the Indian archaeologist who discovered Mohenjodaro or Dholavira are not identified/named (but John Marshall was called out)?! Surprising
To be fair, John Marshall credited the Indian archeologists such as R. D. Banerji and his colleague as well as giving them credit for what a difficult excavation it must have been. Also, partition was in 1947. after Mr. Banerji died. So they were all under British Empire at the time.
Gun powder was invented not by the Europeans but Chinese. In India it was introduced by the founder of the Mughal empire, Babur in the shape of Cannons in the battle of Panipat against Ibrahim Lodhi of the Dehli Sultanate.
@@huzaifaattarwala9615 indus valley is name given by British because of initial understanding. Present excavation shows that it extends from baloch to central India.
This is probably the best documentary on the Indus Valley Civilisation that I've seen. Amazing work and really gave me the better understanding of the IVC that I've been looking for for some time.
Indus River is solely distributing water to Pakistani people and not Indian people , as narrated in the documentary. And many ruins of so called Indus valley civilization are near Bhagalpur , Cholistan desert on Hakra- Kakra river.
@@truthstumbled4d1 Balochistan is in Pakistan. 😅 Wake up. If there's something in Kashmir and someone from Pakistan says "That's in Kashmir, not in India", how would you feel? 😅
@@amd.amdamd don't be silly Pakistan did not exist then, it was hindu, not muslim which came a few millenials later. I know Baliochistans name changed to Pakistan in 1948 like Palestine changed to Jordan and Israel, their old names.
Correction, they don't drink the water from the lower ganges river which is extremely polluted. They do drink water from the clean springs that are taken from the upper sources of water coming from the Himalayan mountains.
I hope that one day we the decendents of idus valley people will be able to look proudly back to our ancestors and tell them that we have achived what they achived in the distant past.
Correction at 3:30 The partition was based on religion for pakistan and not india, which remained a secular country. So the partition was not between hindus and muslims, but between indians and muslims of punjab and bengal.
There was no partition of India and Pakistan. It was basically a partition of Punjab and Bengal. There was no India or Pakistan as a country before that. Never ever was Tamil Nadu the part of the same country which included Arunachal Pradesh. Post-1947 is what we got two new countries called India and Pakistan.

Fascinating stuff. Not knocking shows about the classic, classics such as Egypt, Greece/Alexander's Macedonia, Rome, etc. because I *love* learning about them too. But there simply isn't enough content about other times/places/peoples. Indus River Valley, Persian, the Hittites, and other peoples like the aforementioned. And so, anytime I can get content about those other, less popular, peoples, nothing could make me happier.
Less popular and older civilization than Greek and Roman Civilization ofcourse, Check out Dwarka a 7500-12000 years old sunken city, and Archaeologist today have dated indus civi to be older than Egyptian and Mesopotamia
Cinthu valley civilization listed between 7000BCE TO 5000BCE old not like in this video said the time line is inaccurate . Cinthu river civilization oldest for any other civilization in prehistoric times.
The narrator explains how Indus river feeds millions of Indians today. I want to know how so? Indus river starts from Tibet, flows through the length of Pakistan and only flows through Ladakh region of India which is extremely sparsely populated.
When he says India he doesn't mean the current geography, he means during the Indic period, So I believe during Akhand Bharat time it used to be same which is now turned into different countries states etc.,
Earlier, the narrator was referring to the Indus river *bassin*, where millions of Indian citizens are living by now. Cf. rivers in Kasmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Pendjab, merging with the Indus river.
@@FabGreg that does not answer my question. Less than 300 km length of River Indus flows through the Indian region. If you mean the tributaries of Indus then those rivers flowing through Himachal, Indian Kashmir, or Punjab have same source but they are certainly not the tributaries of Indus river.
@@anilrohilla4379 please, check where do originate the 5 rivers of Penjab: Beâs, Sutlej, Ravi, Chenab, and Jhelum, all major tributaries of the Indus river. Many Indians live along these tributaries, much much more than in Ladakh along the Indus river (and local tributaries, for instance Zanskar river).
@@FabGreg the tributaries of the Indus also flow through Afghanistan and Tajikistan. The river Indus belongs to the 5 peoples; Kashmiris, Pashtuns, Punjabis, Sindhis and Balochis which incidentally are today the 5 provinces of Pakistan.
Right now they are going through identity crisis. Sometimes they identify their roots from Türks , sometimes from Arabs . Idiots don't even acknowledge their 7 thousands years of history . No wonder Pakistan has become a joke 🤣 Bangladesh took pride of their culture and language hence they got independence from Pakistan. Pakistan wanted to force Urdu on them .
Thanks for this divine informative Vedio Documentary, amazing. 1966 in Fiji Islands 🏝 Hindi Book 📖 we read about Indus Valley Civilization and that the script could not be deciphered!

It is great to see foreign media have made documentary over Indus valley civilization ....in the last narrator linked Indus valley civilization with today's present Indian people not mentioned any present Pakistanis those are Muslims but claimed Indus valley civilization is their but delinked Indian culture. So thanks to not linked any thanksless Muslims of Pakistan with this India's ancient civilization as much old as Mesopotamia and Egypt's old civilization.

Very elaborate and educative documentary film on our very ancient and developed civilization of Indus Valley of India and Pakistan of today's world! It is very interesting to know and study this civilization, that has very distinctive urban settlements of Harappa, Mohenjo-Daro and Dhola Vira townships on the river. valley of Indus and Ghaggar Hakra, which is almost extinct or dried up today! The Indus Valley Civilization make us wonder about our ancient past and also warns us about the drastic and impending environmental disaster in the past and warns us about our future too! This type of disaster happened time and again in the history of our world! But it is happening in our recent past too! But unfortunately, we the 'Human' do not want to learn!
Yeah we should have learned that the climate has naturally been changing since the beginning of time. The whole climate agenda is about money and control of the peasants.
It remains an intriguing question as to how such an important civilizational remnant was agreed to go to the other side of the border and as to who made the decision! And Saaz Aggarwal mentions in her book that Sindh was a 'casteless society' !.Very strange. Probably needs further study!
One thing I don't understand, is how come the entire civilisation disappeared just becuase one relatively smaller river strand, called the Ghaggar Hakra, dried up in the Indus river valley, even though there were still many other tributaries of the actual Indus river that were all still flowing?! And most of the main cities of the civilisation, such as Harrappa and Mohenjo Dark, were all on the Indus tributiary banks (which is still flowing) and not the Ghaggar Hakra?! If the civilisation fell due to drought caused by the Ghaggar Hakra drying up, then how come the main cities which were not even located on the Ghaggar Hakra, but in fact located on the Indus river banks, why did these cities also fall and become abandoned despite still having a flowing river they can survive on?
It was a regional drought of at least 10 years possibly 20 ( I forget). I was recently watching a much newer documentary. There was also some type of uplift involved. I don't remember if it was post glacial like Scotland or not.
@@kitefan1 Thanks, but it still doesnt excplain why the entire civilisation disappeared, when the main Indus tributary, (where all the important cities were locate) was still flowing, and is still flowing today?
Yeah, I get your point..why we humans must know what we cannot know, yet we say we do is strange. Whatever is plausible so we can know is the way it goes. I appreciate truth and fact but not everyone is about it. I believe people who do the guessing game with history to have too much time on their hands and they will to "follow their own hearts" to believe what is plausible..yet fabricated. Thanks for mentioning the other tributaries.
it is the cycle of the earth, rains move somewhere else, earth quakes, techtonic plate shift, people thrive where resources mainly water and fertile soils are , a tale as old as time
Indus Valley Civilization people moved to South India when Aryans arrived. Ancient Tamil gods referred in Sangam literature are different and not of vedic
Not only to south, they moved throughout Indian subcontinent. There is Wari-Bateshwar city complex that is built in a very similar style to Indus Valley cities.
There are new sites in TN where it show existence of a civilisation as old or older to Indus Valley… So yeah… lot of things change with time and even understanding of history
Ganges is most polluted river in India now. Hundreds of Half burnt crops are thrown into it. Industrial waste and sewage are also being dumped into this so called holy river
Incorrect, the earliest arcaheological excavation work at Harappa was done in the 1920s. At this point Arthur Evans had already uncovered at least part of the Minoan palace at Knossos in the early 1900s
Yes, it's incorrect. Google Books has George Rawlinson's Manual Of Ancient History, a textbook from 1877. It covers "Chaldea, Assyria, Media, Babylonia, Lydia, Phoenicia, Syria, Judæa, Egypt, Carthage, Persia, Greece, Macedonia, Parthia, and Rome."
In Gujranwala City about 40 km north of Lahore and very close to the town of Ghakkar in Pakistan's Punjab province lies remains of a very old river called "Budda Darya" ie "Old River" in Punjabi language. Could this be part of the now mostly disappeared Ghakkar Hakra river system?
Recent research shows that the Ghaggar-Hakra was monsoon-fed during Harappan times, and had already dried-up during Vedic times, therefore, no way it can be Sarasvati River. Indo-Europeans entered India around 1500 BCE when Harappan civilization was already in decline. Vedic people had no scripts but Harrapan people had. Some Vedic scholars (e.g. Kochhar 1999) also believe the Helmand river corresponds to the Sarasvati river mentioned in the Rig Veda as the homeland of the Aryan tribes before migrating into the Indian Subcontinent, ca. 1500 BCE.
When greeks were roaming in small groups our ancestors had installed plumbing in every house in Indus valley civilization then it can only mean it's oldest civilization
New archeological sites in India are recently discovered which would be more interesting to learn in coming years. As Saraswati Sandhu civilization. Harappa is just one such sites.

According to archeologists and historians, Indus valley civilization is largest ancient civilization ever found (The Harappa civilization was 20 times greater than Egypt & 12 times larger than combining area of Egypt & Mesopotamia ✨✨) ...

@@srathod4637 Adam and Eve belongs to the creation myth of the Abrahamic religions . They are the basis for the doctrines of the fall of man and original sin that are important beliefs in Christianity, although not held in Judaism or Islam.
Since river remained, loss of water is not likely reason. Political and cultural shifts, especially the Gutian (recorded in Mesopotamian records) disrupting trade networks (Indus valley was the destination of raw materials from central Asian for Indus Valley export products) appears to be the best reason for me
Important note - after partition India and Pakistan were divided along religious lines but not into Hindu and Muslim. It was into secular and Muslim. India or Indian leaders chose secularism over nasty religious divides (unlike what is happening now).

The Saudi Arab region during Rama's time was a lush green farmland. Legend has it that when Rama put the arrow on his bow to vaporise the sea leading to Lanka from Rameshwaram, the sea God appeared and pleaded Rama to not dry up the sea, then Rama asked where to let go of the arrow and he pointed to the north-westerly direction and thus when Rama's arrow landed in the Saudi region it dried up all the vegetation and the region became a desert.
According to ASI temple was never found in Indus valley civilization. Though they had deities but there were no signs of temple. Temples in Indian subcontinent came in to existence in the Gupta period .

John Marshall was just the person who was the DG of ASI back than ,but Dayaram Sahani & R D Banerji duo were the person who did the actual finding . Marshall just announced their findings
The Indus civilisation is not lost. It's descendants are the Tamils in Tamil Nadu. The language of the Indus civilisation is the Tamil language. - archeological evidence had been unearthed and scientifically dated from the various archeological findings in Tamil Nadu; particularly from the Keezhadi excavations findings of Indus civilisation seals, pictography and it' progression to Graffitti writings, to ancient Tamil script Thamizhi. - genetical evidence had been established, from the DNA sequencing of the female and male skeletons unearthed at Rakhigarhi (an Indus Civilisation site) north west India, that the Tamils are the genetical descendants of the Indus Civilisation people (whose skeletons had been DNA-ed earlier). The research was carried out by an international team of scientists and published in the CELL research journal in 2019.
No, it does not mean that Tamilian is an ever sanskarti language however, Sindh literature and history claiming Sindh ever first language therefore, their is controversial interpretation and arguments caused poor development in the Pakistan.
@Vsm Vsm Get lost please. The language of Melukha is still spoken right in the center of Pakistan due west and it is called Brahui (i.e Beluhi/Beluchi/Meluha/Melecha etc). Though it is an Elamo-Dravidian language. It is Not Tamil.
The civilization is not lost. They are now the present Pakistanis and Indians. There was a big Climate Change swift most likely during ancirnt times tje land there was full of greeneries but as time Goes by its getting drier and drier that is why they have to migrate to a morr sustainable lands.
Less climate than Limnology - aka the study of rivers. It is not unknown in antiquity for large rivers to build up sediment to a point where they spill sideways and cut new channels to avoid the build up. At this point they eventually forge completely new channels where a large part of the water volume travels leading the original path of the river to slowly dry up as ever more sediment settles at the blockage. The Nile did this several times in the history of dynastic Egypt causing the civilisation to uproot and relocate to the most ideal area. The real wonder is why the Indus Valley Civilisation did not simply do the same - albeit it is not impossible that they simply could not locate the changed path as it had diverted further upstream than was commonly known or recorded.
This were the descendants of Ziusudra sumerian legendary hero of great flood ,Hindu called him in puranas as Vaivasvata Manu or in Hebrew the legendary Noah of great flood. Whom guided by sea deity Vishnu or Enki in sumerian language and samyaza in Hebrew and Neptune in roman and Posiedon in Greek.
Well I want to draw the attention of commentator towards a very important reference of literature ,made while explaining the migration of dwellers from dholavira. The reference made is of book. MAHABHARAT. I wld request the commentator to answer a question. Where did he see the book MAHABHARAT.
There is no proof that Mahabharata war took place in north..Mahabharat happened true.And now Mahabharata story is false..True history is different.Why Mahabharata war took place?,Where Mahabharata war took place?,Who are the real Pandavas?,Who are the real Kauravas?,Real Draupadi. Who? Evidence for this will come one day.
First we used to say that the Indus Valley civilization is one of the oldest civilizations or should I say one of the earliest civilizations in the region until the discovery of another city in Balochistan in the town of Mehergarh by a British archaeological team back in 1973. The carbon dating revealed that the Mehergarh civilization is much older than the Indus Valley civilization. The Mehergarh was near an ancient river which does not exists anymore. Some Biblical scholars tried to prove the flood story from the ruins of Mehergarh that it was buried under mud because of a great flood.
the flood story is mesopotania , it was found by an archaeolist here, he proves it the most convincing argument i have found, he traced the four rivers, some dried out like this one, but he showed the trail of river stones Watch this episode of 'Expedition Bible as Joel travels across Saudi Arabia in search of The Lost River of Eden'. Here on youtube, I love following his journeys in Middle East, he goes to every site, and proves the location with archaelogy, best up to date research.
Most of the Hindu culture emerged form the Indus civilization sites in Present day Punjab and Sindh which are now in Pakistan. Sadly no hindu left there today. That land of hindus now fully converted to Islam. Pakistan has nothing to do with the Indus culture. Shameful that Hindus were forced to divide their country and give to big parts to Muslims.
Amazing documentary about Indus valley civilization ❤ My thoughts are filled only with how people lived peacefully? Quite interesting to hear there's no war and usage of destructive tools at all🦋🌈 People might have lived a heavenly life..
Fascinating!! However, nobody has established a reason for the decline and disappearance of the Indus Valley civilization. So for the narrator to conclude it was because of attacks by Aryan nomads is nothing but imagination and misleading.
I thought that theory had been debunked. The villages do not show evidence of violence, nor are there skeletons everywhere. Well, except for the ones found in Mohenjodaro and there are not enough there to prove a battle. It is more likely they moved on because there were too many lean years with not enough meltwater to support their crops. It was surmised that at first they likely moved to other villages and then moved onward to their new home. People do it even in our time, so it seems not to surprising.
That's a work for egg heads in an office rather than expeditionary work. The problem is that unlike Linear A where we can at least infer the symbol sounds from the Linear B/Mycenaean Greek translation effort, there is no likewise later symbol system that closely resembles Indus Script. Even knowing what Linear B means we still don't understand the so called Minoan language that Linear A was written in.
That statuette of the man wearing a garment baring one shoulder reminds me of similar garments worn much later by philosophers in Greece and Rome. Could there be any connection or is it just a coincidence?
Generally ancient tribal people wear this kind of garment. Even today we can see indigenous tribes in india, Africa and Mayan people wear this type of garment and it is similar to traditional wear in many states of India such as tamilnadu, Kerala, meghalaya etc.

Yes, the ancient Greeks were Israelites ie Shemites and the classical Greeks were a mixed group of Black people and Caucasians with Caucasians being in the minority. See Anacalypsis by G Higgins. World history is Black history. Shalawam
It is not mythical but it is a river in iran where the bmac people migrated to from somewhere in Central asia and then came into India long after indus valley civilization was defunct. So it wouldn't have been called saraswati in that time cuz the iranic speaking people where not there to name it that.
Vedic Hinduism and Modern Hinduism are vastly different. The former even allowed cow meat to be offered as Prasad, there are mentions of it in Rigveda. They also commited an Ashwamedha ritual of burning a horse alive to please Gods. The modern Hinduism adopted elements from Jainism of Vegetarianism. The ancient Indians were a different class of people.
@@javedsultan4830 Modern Hindu religion actually came into existence from 7th century after Adi Shankaracharya. Previous to that the Vedic Religion was practiced in Northern Syria and pockets of Southern Anatolia (today Kurdistan). That's just why a lot of upper caste Brahmins have that gene pool.
@@farkhandaowais Yes. It was during the ancient Mittani Empire that Vedic Religion -Hinduism- was ! Guess where it was ? Anatolia (aka Southern Turkey, Northern Syria). Even Sanskrit if you know was written in Brahmi script and Kharosthi script which were developed from Aramaic Alphabet system (the mother language of Hebrew, Nabatean, Arabic, Ge'ez). All the modern archaeogenetics, proves that modern Brahmins are of Armenian/Median/Persian/Central Steppe origin. They've even plotted their haplotypes to be more European than that with some frequencies reaching over 90% of their hapotypes and haplogroups. Then these Aryans started moving into Indus river basin and the already living population of Dravidians who lived there were considered "untouchables" because of their dark skin, these Dravidians gave rise to Indus Valley Civilization. Some groups bifurcated into Hinduism and started moving inwards and intermarrying the women of the Dravidian people. That's why even the mt-DNA of most Indian women is Haplotype H which is indigenous to Indian population alone. I also detail you on how the modern Arabs are not even the true Arabs !!! If you're into such reality and science based interactions, you can add me over WhatsApp, I can detail you a hell lot on it as I'm a Data Scientist and my perspective is not based on religion but on actual data that we have at our disposal.

@@aasamspb967 Yes, I wasn't sure it was all. I saw a documentary where the people living in the Himalaya where building a sort of ice tree or hill so that they themselves would have local water, but that won't help the big rivers.
@@kitefan1 I don't know about China and Pakistan. But I forgot about India. India has another set of river system that is not part of the Himalayan rivers. In southern India, we have monsoon fed rivers originating from Western and Eastern Ghats which has nothing to do with Himalayas. Those rivers are quite big but it does not have the amount of water given by the Himalayan rivers. Population in South India is significantly lesser than North India so the water in those rivers are enough for the South Indian people. But if Himalayas dried up then all the people in North India, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh will be in danger.

"Pakistan, the Indus land, is the child of the Indus in the same way as Egypt is the gift of Nile. While people of Pakistan were internatioanal traders & a civilisational economic power living in big cities, people of Ganges Valley started building their villages, towns & cities 6000 years after Pakistan did between 2600-2300 years ago.

Vast majority of Indian temples are medieval not ancient. Ancient Indians worshipped in the open air primarily.
Well done! But being an Indian, I disagree with the interpretations many levels.... I also think the English translation provided for the folk song is not accurate at all.
Also I don't understand why the Indian archaeologist who discovered Mohenjodaro or Dholavira are not identified/named (but John Marshall was called out)?! Surprising

Rakhal Das Banerjee was the archeologist who was credited for the excavation work... as far as I remember...
To be fair, John Marshall credited the Indian archeologists such as R. D. Banerji and his colleague as well as giving them credit for what a difficult excavation it must have been. Also, partition was in 1947. after Mr. Banerji died. So they were all under British Empire at the time.
It's so sad to imagine the sufferings of the people who were forced to leave this beautifully designed and elaborate city due to drought.
How did man cause climate change back then? Too many water Buffalo farts and carbon from brick drying fires?
yes people forced to leave this city due to saraswati river extincion
The British would not admit That the Indian Civilization is more advanced in every way.
Not Indian but Indus Valley Civilization.
Gun powder was invented not by the Europeans but Chinese. In India it was introduced by the founder of the Mughal empire, Babur in the shape of Cannons in the battle of Panipat against Ibrahim Lodhi of the Dehli Sultanate.

The partition was based on religion for pakistan and not india, which remained a secular country. So the partition was not between hindus and muslims, but between indians and muslims of punjab and bengal.
There was no partition of India and Pakistan.
It was basically a partition of Punjab and Bengal.

The narrator explains how Indus river feeds millions of Indians today. I want to know how so? Indus river starts from Tibet, flows through the length of Pakistan and only flows through Ladakh region of India which is extremely sparsely populated.
When he says India he doesn't mean the current geography, he means during the Indic period, So I believe during Akhand Bharat time it used to be same which is now turned into different countries states etc.,
Earlier, the narrator was referring to the Indus river *bassin*, where millions of Indian citizens are living by now. Cf. rivers in Kasmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Pendjab, merging with the Indus river.
@@FabGreg that does not answer my question. Less than 300 km length of River Indus flows through the Indian region. If you mean the tributaries of Indus then those rivers flowing through Himachal, Indian Kashmir, or Punjab have same source but they are certainly not the tributaries of Indus river.
@@anilrohilla4379 please, check where do originate the 5 rivers of Penjab: Beâs, Sutlej, Ravi, Chenab, and Jhelum, all major tributaries of the Indus river.

@@FabGreg the tributaries of the Indus also flow through Afghanistan and Tajikistan. The river Indus belongs to the 5 peoples; Kashmiris, Pashtuns, Punjabis, Sindhis and Balochis which incidentally are today the 5 provinces of Pakistan.

Very elaborate and educative documentary film on our very ancient and developed civilization of Indus Valley of India and Pakistan of today's world! It is very interesting to know and study this civilization, that has very distinctive urban settlements of Harappa, Mohenjo-Daro and Dhola Vira townships on the river. valley of Indus and Ghaggar Hakra, which is almost extinct or dried up today! The Indus Valley Civilization make us wonder about our ancient past and also warns us about the drastic and impending environmental disaster in the past and warns us about our future too! This type of disaster happened time and again in the history of our world! But it is happening in our recent past too! But unfortunately, we the 'Human' do not want to learn!
Yeah we should have learned that the climate has naturally been changing since the beginning of time. The whole climate agenda is about money and control of the peasants.
Hi, those ruins are significantly helpful in determining the future economy of the country. Thanks for sharing the video 👍
Mohenjadaro was the Manhattan of it's time 😀
True.
It remains an intriguing question as to how such an important civilizational remnant was agreed to go to the other side of the border and as to who made the decision! And Saaz Aggarwal mentions in her book that Sindh was a 'casteless society' !.Very strange. Probably needs further study!
Thank you so much to the channel.
People who deny climate change need to study history. It has, and will continue, to shape human progress and decline.
One thing I don't understand, is how come the entire civilisation disappeared just becuase one relatively smaller river strand, called the Ghaggar Hakra, dried up in the Indus river valley, even though there were still many other tributaries of the actual Indus river that were all still flowing?! And most of the main cities of the civilisation, such as Harrappa and Mohenjo Dark, were all on the Indus tributiary banks (which is still flowing) and not the Ghaggar Hakra?!
If the civilisation fell due to drought caused by the Ghaggar Hakra drying up, then how come the main cities which were not even located on the Ghaggar Hakra, but in fact located on the Indus river banks, why did these cities also fall and become abandoned despite still having a flowing river they can survive on?
It was a regional drought of at least 10 years possibly 20 ( I forget). I was recently watching a much newer documentary. There was also some type of uplift involved. I don't remember if it was post glacial like Scotland or not.
@@kitefan1 Thanks, but it still doesnt excplain why the entire civilisation disappeared, when the main Indus tributary, (where all the important cities were locate) was still flowing, and is still flowing today?
Yeah, I get your point..why we humans must know what we cannot know, yet we say we do is strange. Whatever is plausible so we can know is the way it goes. I appreciate truth and fact but not everyone is about it. I believe people who do the guessing game with history to have too much time on their hands and they will to "follow their own hearts" to believe what is plausible..yet fabricated. Thanks for mentioning the other tributaries.
it is the cycle of the earth, rains move somewhere else, earth quakes, techtonic plate shift, people thrive where resources mainly water and fertile soils are , a tale as old as time

Recent research shows that the Ghaggar-Hakra was monsoon-fed during Harappan times, and had already dried-up during Vedic times, therefore, no way it can be Sarasvati River. Indo-Europeans entered India around 1500 BCE when Harappan civilization was already in decline. Vedic people had no scripts but Harrapan people had. Some Vedic scholars (e.g. Kochhar 1999) also believe the Helmand river corresponds to the Sarasvati river mentioned in the Rig Veda as the homeland of the Aryan tribes before migrating into the Indian Subcontinent, ca. 1500 BCE.

The Indus civilisation is not lost. It's descendants are the Tamils in Tamil Nadu.
The language of the Indus civilisation is the Tamil language.
- archeological evidence had been unearthed and scientifically dated from the various archeological findings in Tamil Nadu; particularly from the Keezhadi excavations findings of Indus civilisation seals, pictography and it' progression to Graffitti writings, to ancient Tamil script Thamizhi.
- genetical evidence had been established, from the DNA sequencing of the female and male skeletons unearthed at Rakhigarhi (an Indus Civilisation site) north west India, that the Tamils are the genetical descendants of the Indus Civilisation people (whose skeletons had been DNA-ed earlier). The research was carried out by an international team of scientists and published in the CELL research journal in 2019.

The civilization is not lost. They are now the present Pakistanis and Indians. There was a big Climate Change swift most likely during ancirnt times tje land there was full of greeneries but as time Goes by its getting drier and drier that is why they have to migrate to a morr sustainable lands.
Less climate than Limnology - aka the study of rivers.
It is not unknown in antiquity for large rivers to build up sediment to a point where they spill sideways and cut new channels to avoid the build up.
At this point they eventually forge completely new channels where a large part of the water volume travels leading the original path of the river to slowly dry up as ever more sediment settles at the blockage.
The Nile did this several times in the history of dynastic Egypt causing the civilisation to uproot and relocate to the most ideal area.
The real wonder is why the Indus Valley Civilisation did not simply do the same - albeit it is not impossible that they simply could not locate the changed path as it had diverted further upstream than was commonly known or recorded.

There is no proof that Mahabharata war took place in north..Mahabharat happened true.And now Mahabharata story is false..True history is different.Why Mahabharata war took place?,Where Mahabharata war took place?,Who are the real Pandavas?,Who are the real Kauravas?,Real Draupadi. Who? Evidence for this will come one day.
Nice
Original: Ancient Civilizations Uncovered (2017) Episode 1 Lost Ancient Trading City, Indus Civilization. 👍🤲🌹🙏
Yeah this channel just uploads existing old documentaries with a new thumbnail.
British archeolist done great work to Indian civilization.❤❤❤❤❤
First we used to say that the Indus Valley civilization is one of the oldest civilizations or should I say one of the earliest civilizations in the region until the discovery of another city in Balochistan in the town of Mehergarh by a British archaeological team back in 1973. The carbon dating revealed that the Mehergarh civilization is much older than the Indus Valley civilization. The Mehergarh was near an ancient river which does not exists anymore. Some Biblical scholars tried to prove the flood story from the ruins of Mehergarh that it was buried under mud because of a great flood.
the flood story is mesopotania , it was found by an archaeolist here, he proves it the most convincing argument i have found, he traced the four rivers, some dried out like this one, but he showed the trail of river stones Watch this episode of 'Expedition Bible as Joel travels across Saudi Arabia in search of The Lost River of Eden'. Here on youtube, I love following his journeys in Middle East, he goes to every site, and proves the location with archaelogy, best up to date research.
Proud to be a Sindhi💕
Proud to be Slavic Arian. What is a meaning Veda in yours language?
Any linebacker would be envious of those shoulder pads on his suit 😊
Most of the Hindu culture emerged form the Indus civilization sites in Present day Punjab and Sindh which are now in Pakistan. Sadly no hindu left there today. That land of hindus now fully converted to Islam. Pakistan has nothing to do with the Indus culture. Shameful that Hindus were forced to divide their country and give to big parts to Muslims.
Amazing documentary about Indus valley civilization ❤
My thoughts are filled only with how people lived peacefully?
Quite interesting to hear there's no war and usage of destructive tools at all🦋🌈
People might have lived a heavenly life..
Harappa, Ganeriwala, and Mohenjo-daro was in modern-day Pakistan
Fascinating!! However, nobody has established a reason for the decline and disappearance of the Indus Valley civilization. So for the narrator to conclude it was because of attacks by Aryan nomads is nothing but imagination and misleading.
I thought that theory had been debunked. The villages do not show evidence of violence, nor are there skeletons everywhere. Well, except for the ones found in Mohenjodaro and there are not enough there to prove a battle.
It is more likely they moved on because there were too many lean years with not enough meltwater to support their crops.
It was surmised that at first they likely moved to other villages and then moved onward to their new home. People do it even in our time, so it seems not to surprising.
Salute to those oldest civilised people

Excellent!
Has any archeologal expedition been able to translate the Happarran language yet?
That's a work for egg heads in an office rather than expeditionary work.
The problem is that unlike Linear A where we can at least infer the symbol sounds from the Linear B/Mycenaean Greek translation effort, there is no likewise later symbol system that closely resembles Indus Script.
Even knowing what Linear B means we still don't understand the so called Minoan language that Linear A was written in.
no
No yet
Need to find a Rosetta Stone but matches native Brahmi texts the most.
Believed to be those letters Tamil letters and words but not proven yet base on my studyied
Excellent
That statuette of the man wearing a garment baring one shoulder reminds me of similar garments worn much later by philosophers in Greece and Rome. Could there be any connection or is it just a coincidence?
There will be some connection. It cannot be a coincidence.
Generally ancient tribal people wear this kind of garment. Even today we can see indigenous tribes in india, Africa and Mayan people wear this type of garment and it is similar to traditional wear in many states of India such as tamilnadu, Kerala, meghalaya etc.
@@99technology I'm very interested in research on the possible connections between all those ancient to modern cultures, such as historical contacts, trade, invasions, alliances, political systems, technology, architecture, graphic arts, literature, religion, and languages.
Yes, the ancient Greeks were Israelites ie Shemites and the classical Greeks were a mixed group of Black people and Caucasians with Caucasians being in the minority. See Anacalypsis by G Higgins. World history is Black history. Shalawam
I would like to know where did they found the seals. Nobody talks about that: Tombs, storage spaces, houses?
Who said Saraswati is a mythical river?
It is not mythical but it is a river in iran where the bmac people migrated to from somewhere in Central asia and then came into India long after indus valley civilization was defunct. So it wouldn't have been called saraswati in that time cuz the iranic speaking people where not there to name it that.
Saraswathi river mentioned in Rigveda which is written in Indo European language Sanskrit
Indian myths are only stories. no reality
Mahabharata and Ramayana are fiction stories , nothing to do with reality
Saraswathi river is a myth written in Indo European language

Vedic Hinduism and Modern Hinduism are vastly different.
The former even allowed cow meat to be offered as Prasad, there are mentions of it in Rigveda. They also commited an Ashwamedha ritual of burning a horse alive to please Gods.
The modern Hinduism adopted elements from Jainism of Vegetarianism.
The ancient Indians were a different class of people.
indus valley is preVedic.. no hindu religion..
@@javedsultan4830 Modern Hindu religion actually came into existence from 7th century after Adi Shankaracharya.
Previous to that the Vedic Religion was practiced in Northern Syria and pockets of Southern Anatolia (today Kurdistan). That's just why a lot of upper caste Brahmins have that gene pool.
@@abc_cba Is there actually any evidence of , whereto was the vedic religion practiced, except ofcourse India?
True that
@@farkhandaowais Yes.
It was during the ancient Mittani Empire that Vedic Religion -Hinduism- was ! Guess where it was ?
Anatolia (aka Southern Turkey, Northern Syria).
Even Sanskrit if you know was written in Brahmi script and Kharosthi script which were developed from Aramaic Alphabet system (the mother language of Hebrew, Nabatean, Arabic, Ge'ez).
All the modern archaeogenetics, proves that modern Brahmins are of Armenian/Median/Persian/Central Steppe origin. They've even plotted their haplotypes to be more European than that with some frequencies reaching over 90% of their hapotypes and haplogroups.
Then these Aryans started moving into Indus river basin and the already living population of Dravidians who lived there were considered "untouchables" because of their dark skin, these Dravidians gave rise to Indus Valley Civilization.
Some groups bifurcated into Hinduism and started moving inwards and intermarrying the women of the Dravidian people.
That's why even the mt-DNA of most Indian women is Haplotype H which is indigenous to Indian population alone.
I also detail you on how the modern Arabs are not even the true Arabs !!!
If you're into such reality and science based interactions, you can add me over WhatsApp, I can detail you a hell lot on it as I'm a Data Scientist and my perspective is not based on religion but on actual data that we have at our disposal.
Drink from the Ganges and you'll see your God sooner than you think! 😅
Amazing
Also due to dessert area and no agriculture area these site were escavated but I am sure there were other civilization along with infuse one on east side ganga river in south India also just that due to heavy populations and agriculture other arew of indian subcontinent we have still not discovered other civilizations of india
And what happens to Ganges as the glaciers in the Himalaya melt?
@@kitefan1 when glaciers in Himalaya melt not just Ganges, all the rivers of India, China, Pakistan will dissappear.
@@aasamspb967 Yes, I wasn't sure it was all. I saw a documentary where the people living in the Himalaya where building a sort of ice tree or hill so that they themselves would have local water, but that won't help the big rivers.
@@kitefan1 I don't know about China and Pakistan. But I forgot about India. India has another set of river system that is not part of the Himalayan rivers.
In southern India, we have monsoon fed rivers originating from Western and Eastern Ghats which has nothing to do with Himalayas. Those rivers are quite big but it does not have the amount of water given by the Himalayan rivers. Population in South India is significantly lesser than North India so the water in those rivers are enough for the South Indian people.
But if Himalayas dried up then all the people in North India, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh will be in danger.
@@aasamspb967 Thanks. Not my best geography area.
