  2. Overview • The Indus civilization settled in the Indian subcontinent. • The Indus people built India’s first cities around 2,500 B.C. • The Indus Valley civilization is sometimes called the Harappan civilization. • The Indus group astounds us because of our similar ways of life, 4,500 years later.

  3. Earliest Arrivals • Recently, archaeologists discovered evidence in the highlands of agriculture and domesticated sheep and goats dating all the way back to 7,000 B.C. • Around 3,200 B.C. the Indus people were farming in villages alongside the Indus River.

  4. Planned Cities • The Indus people are known for their remarkable establishments of India’s finest cities. • They began building around 2,500 B.C. • The Indus built streets, brick homes and had private baths. • The largest cities they created were: Kalibangan, Mohemjo-Daro and Harappa.

  5. Planned Cities continued… • The Indus people were extremely aware of their surroundings. They made mud-brick floors to prevent flooding. • They built a brick wall approximately three and a half miles long surrounding the area. Inside the wall was a citadel which protected the Royal Family and served as a temple of worship.

  6. Plumbing • The Indus people faced a predicament: how do they obtain clean water from human waste? • They dumped their waste into “drainage” ditches or took the waste outside of town. • The Indus people had a very modern-looking plumbing system. • The Indus civilization was very advanced, no other civilization had this standard of a system until the 19th and 20th centuries.
