Harappan Civilization • Harappan civilization began around the Indus River around 2500BC. • It is also known as the Indus Valley Civilization. Ancient India (Indus River Valley)
Ancient Egyp (Nile River Valley) Ancient Mesopotamia (Tigris/Euphrates River Valley) Ancient India (Indus River Valley)
Cities • Two major cities of the Indus Valley Civilization • Harappa • Mohenjo-Daro
Thank you rivers! • Similar to the civilizations of Mesopotamia, and Egypt, Harappan civilization depended on the rivers for fertile soil and water for agriculture.
Mysteries of Harappan Civilization • Around 1750BCE Harappan civilization declined and eventually disappeared. • Declined means things got very bad or “worsened” • WHY?? • Archaeologists think: • #1 A nomadic group called the Aryansmay have attacked and taken over. • #2 Another river called the Sarasvati River dried up. This may have made life in Harappan civilization impossible.
The Aryans • The Aryans were nomads who herded cows in central India. • Around 1500 BCE the Aryans migrated to the Indus river valley and developed a civilization there.
Check yourself! • What was the first civilization to develop in India? • True/False: Indus valley is the same as Harappan civilization • What river did the Harappan civilization settle near? • What were the two major cities in the Indus River Valley? • Why did the Harappan civilization develop near a river? • What happened to the Harappan civilization in 1700BCE? • What group of people migrated to the Indus River Valley?
