There was a mysterious civilization in our land. No mention indigenously or elsewhere. It arose without any tangible reason like ambitions of monarchs, aggression, military conquest, etc. Similarly, it vanished without any justifiable reason. The accidental discovery of Harappa in the early 19th century brought to limelight an otherwise anonymous civilization. We know Indus Valley Civilization only through its location in the Indus Basin or Indus Valley. There is an interesting story around the beginning of excavation of the various IVC sites. Moreover, there are many peculiarities attached to certain important IVC sites that are explained in this lesson. The periodization of the IVC is equally important and hence taken into account. We will also talk about the society, culture and lifestyle of the inhabitants of the Indus Valley during that era.
