look, shall we…?

History
The discovery of the Indus Valley Civilization was in
1826 when a British army officer, James Lewis, saw
a small town in Punjab called Harappa. Systematic
Excavations at Harappa Only began in the 1920's
by archeologist John Marshall, leading to the
discovery of the indus valley. The Indus Valley
Civilisation is named so, because of the extensive
location of the archaeological sites along the river
Indus and its tributaries.

Government
Indus cities had a heterarchic form of government,
somehow like some rich trading cities of medieval Europe,
that were ruled by lords elected or selected among a
restricted group of powerful families harshly competing for
power and status. The Indus Valley people called their
kings, rajas. The rulers governed through trade and religion,
instead of military strength. The king did not have the
highest class or power as the kings did in other civilizations,
the priests did. When the Aryans invaded this civilization,
elders became the head of the society..

Society
The society was predominantly matrialchal. There were
strong family organizations among the people, Social
amusement included hunting wild animals, bullfighting,
fishing and clay modeling, The people were also involved
in sophisticated urban planning, large-scale, and building
projects. These farmers lived together in villages which
grew over time into large ancient cities, like Harappa
and Mohenjo-Daro. The Indus people needed river water
to drink, wash and to irrigate their fields. They may also
have used water in religious ceremonies. To the Indus
people, their river was 'The King River'.
