Indus Valley Civilization: Great Civilization of South Asia #hidispus #indus #indusvalley #india

The Indus Valley Civilization is known to be one of the greatest ancient civilizations. However, why is it considered so great? What makes them an exceptional set of people?

Firstly, this civilization was great because of their innovations in art and architecture.

The materials they developed and used in their architecture could survive in any weather conditions and were long lasting.

This made it easier for their marvels to survive through the ages. They also had great masterpieces in art. For example, the dancing girl is one of the pieces unearthed from that time.

They were also known for being able to construct giant baths. In these baths, people baptized themselves. However, it was not just enough to be able to construct giant baths. You should also be able to fill water in these. Members of Indus Valley were great plumbers too.

Firstly, they developed technology that could bring water from faraway places. Secondly, they also developed a great sewage system.

Secondly, another distinguishing feature about the Indus Valley was their trade, where they used a barter system.

They also developed a special seal that they used to sort their goods. This seal made it easier to identify what item was in which bag. They also traded rare items. These helped people from Indus Valley to do well in their trade with foreigners.

These were the advantages that made Indus Valley a great civilization.
