  5. Buildings • They used timber to create the flat roofs of their buildings, there are brick stairways leading to the roofs of many houses, suggesting that roofs were used as recreational areas - as in early Anatolia.

  6. Religion • Vedic religion was polytheistic and controlled by the priests who served the traditional military aristocracy.  Aryans gods were associated with the forms of nature.  Important deities include Dyaus Pitar, the father-god; the powerful Varuna, the god who guarded the cosmic order (the law of nature and the universal moral law or truth);   The main religious rite was sacrifice and requests for the good things of life;

Trade • The people of Mohenjo-Daro were actively engaged in trade with other people of the Indus River Valley and with Mesopotamian civilization. • Seals, sculptures, and other artifacts from Mohenjo-Daro (or at least the Indus River Valley Civilization) have been found in Mesopotamia. These discoveries are likely evidence of trade between the two civilizations. Cotton was a commodity the people of Mohenjo-Daro probably exported, perhaps in exchange for minerals, tools, or other goods.

  9. Employment • Craftmens must have made this necklaces at Mohenjo-daro. • Builders must have made the "Stupa" at Mohenjo-daro.Breeders in Mohenjo-daro could have rear and breed cows.

City covered some area of six or seven miles and could have some 45,000 to 50,000 plus inner-city populations and this was very large municipal population for that time periods.
