Hey everyone. We will be posting about the civilisation of ancient India today.
INDIA In the 1920s, archaeologists discovered remains of ancient cities spread over a wide area in the north-western part of India. Their discoveries showed that Indian civilisation began much earlier than the period of 500BCE. People began to move to the Indian Plain because of the fertile soil there in c. 3000BCE. The Indus learned how to control and redirect water from the Indus River by building dams so that they could limit the damage caused by the overflowing of the river and use water from the river to water their crops. Historians have concluded that there must have been a system of efficient government. The Granary was an important public building which was used to store grains such as barley, wheat. The Great Bath was a large public bath was believed to have been used for religious bathing. The Drainage system was the world's first complex underground drainage system. Some drains brought water to houses while others carried away waste material The Citadel was a large fort which peopled use to take shelter if an enemy has attacked the city. Here are some pictures of the features of the Indus Valley civilisation. Hope you enjoy!  The Drainage System  Granary  The Great Bath  Citadel We hope you have found this post helpful. We will be posting about the civilisation of Southeast Asia soon. |
