Neolithic/bronze age civilizations tended to last much longer than subsequent iron age ones. This happened in South Asia, but also in Levant and Europe. The shift was mainly due to the domestication of horse cca 3.000 BC, then apparition of chariots around 2.000 BC and radical changes in warfare brought by them.

There're also theories that it is "Mohan jo Daro," meaning "the mound of Mohan." Also, the common spelling is Mohen, not Mouan, in Sindhi Mu-an means dead, Mohen is no word. Mohen jo Daro would mean "The mound of Mohen" not "the mound of dead".

"Shared History of India and Pakistan" is not an accurate description . History of India (or Bharat) is more than 5,000 years old starting from Early Indus Valley Civilization and at its peak under Emperor Ashok Maurya (3rd Century BC aroundish) , the Mauryan Empire (Hindu[Chandragupta Maurya] to Buddhist [Ashoka Maurya]) spanned over modern day Afghanistan , Pakistan & India. This was all before Islam even existed. History of Pakistan starts from only 1947 because Pakistan is primarily just people of Indian religions who were forcefully (or not) converted into Islam & their descendants later demanding a nation of their own where Islam would be the main & (these days) only religion.

We, Indians, are the living continuation of the Indus Valley civilisation. We are the Indus Valley people. Don't bring in Pakistan into this matter, as it is only 75 yrs old, simply because Mohenjo daro and Harappa happens to be in modern day Pakistan. The Pakistani people are mixed central Asian, persian and Turkic islamic descent ( except may be the people of Punjab, and Sind), and have nothing to do with Indus Valley Civilisation. They are relatively recent muslim immigrants, who have displaced the Hindu population of the place eastwards, in the last 800 years of Islamic rule of India. We, Hindus, living in India, are the original Indus Valley people.

[@arijitmukherjee1719]

@Farooq_Tv exactly. That is what population displacement is. It happened to the Indus valley people when so called Aryans came from Northwest. It happened again with the arrival of muslim Turks and Aghans after Mamud of Ghazni's conquest of Multan, Punjab and Sind reinforced further after annexation by Mohd of Ghor ( in fact, colonisation started from the time of Bin Qasim in the 8th century). Resident hindu population was exterminated just as it is being done today in Pakistan and Bangladesh. Those who survived, fled eastward or southwards.

My Grandpa took one of them to the city hall, not really knowing what to do, and told the staff there that they had found these small statues (terracotta) by the creek. They they didn't seem very interested and apparently nothing happened. My grandpa first kept that one statue, it was really tiny, and later felt bad and donated it to a museum in Paris. Probably not the ideal situation. But it's kind of weird also that the local government in Lothal didn't seem to care. To be honest, my grandpa thought they probably sent someone down to the creek and had the statues sold on the black market. It sad how archaeological things get dispersed.

Indo Aryans came from Southern Russia Yajurveda 13/37, "O wise men, learn from the sages of old, who are hospitable, like charioteers who harness their horses, who are well controlled by the skilled, and who have seated themselves on the seat of justice." Here the Vedas ask to learn from the ancient sages, that is, there were ancient human civilizations when the Vedas were written. Then I saw who were charioteers, horsemen. As we know, Ratharohana, i.e. the chariots was invented long after human civilization The oldest known chariots have been found in burials of the Sintashta culture in modern-day Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia, dated to c. 1950-1880 BCE

[@Kalki0025]

Sinauli, India had chariots at the same time as Sintashta. Sinauli is one of the earliest archaeological sites in the Indian subcontinent that provides evidence of chariots and royal burials with warfare elements during the Ochre Coloured Pottery (OCP) and Copper Hoard culture in the Ganga-Yamuna doab, more than 4,000 years ago. The material culture recovered at Sinauli indicates that the Sinaulians were involved in warfare activities. The antiquities recovered show a high degree of sophistication in wood and copper craftsmanship. Eight burials have been excavated so far. Among them was a unique royal burial with a copper-decorated coffin with legs, and a lid that featured high-relief carvings of anthropomorphic figures. These figures wore headgear with two horns and a Ficus religiosa (sacred fig tree) at the center. The figures, besides having detailed faces, were depicted with broad shoulders and torsos. This burial also contained two chariots, a copper pot, a helmet, two stick tops, a copper channel, a copper-decorated whip, gold-steatite beads, and pottery, suggesting the individual was of royal status, possibly a chief or clan leader. The discovery of three full-sized chariots in these royal burials suggests warfare took place in the region. The chariot wheels were decorated with three rows of copper triangles radiating from the center. This discovery indicates that Indians were using chariots, helmets, and swords in warfare more than 4,000 years ago. Additionally, the recovered items include antenna swords with wooden hilts and copper spiral wiring

[@okancanarslan3730]

it is interesting that not only indus people created a great early civilization but also a relatively peaceful and egaliterian one.

Thanks for the video it was good

Genetically South Indian agricultural groups such as Reddys and Velamas show the most proximity to ancient IVC DNA. There are IVC DNA samples which are nearly identical to Reddys. Chief ministers Revanth Reddy and Jagan Reddy of Telangana and Andhra respectively are two of the most famous from this group.

Paxtanis are claiming indus valley civilization but in reality genetic of pakistan are Indo-Aryan just like northern india. People of south india are more similar to indus valley people even in terms of culture and people

I first learned about this civilization taking a course with Professor CC Lamberg-Karlovsky at Harvard (he at one point had been Benazir Bhutto's professor). Even though I mainly focused in Roman civilization in my degree, that was perhaps the best course I ever took in college.

[@lerneanlion]

While I do not know much about the Indus Valley Civilization, one thing I am certain about is that they were most likely not pacifists. If they were, they would not have lasted long as they did.

[@inyomoufizaWabbit]

These people were smoking ganja for some time. Ever been around Indians, most I know are good natured.

[@understanding.everything]

Not if you are in millions and majority of your surroundings are goat hearders who lives on trade indus valley has 50 million people 10% of world population

[@stalinsampras]

Yes Like you said they were completely conquered by Aryans and driven down to south India and in following centuries civilization was completely subverted to Aryans way (conquering force), Even today no one knows what their original Philosophy was and most of the people today of IVC ancestor are completely subverted by Aryan culture in which Aryan take the top place in the pyramid and IVC were denied power and education for millennia IVC survived as long as they did probably have something to do with them being the most populated civilization compared to any of the ancient civilization around the world

[@blueshoes5145]

Not all civilizations need to be aggressive lol. Sometimes different factors come together for the better….e.g. being smart, having good fertile lands, good defense, advantageous location and people not knowing you exist could help lol.

[@AnonAnon-b8r]

As with all civilisations

[@avinashchaudhary8545]

To all the pakistanis brother who think indus belongs to them out of 1400 sites of IVC 900+ lies in india it is a shared history of both if us also indus was name given by archaeologist. the people of IVC does not have anything to do with it .

1. 15:40 - Really curious to know which year this map is from when India and Burma are part of British empire but Pakistan is a separate entity... 2. Overall a good video but you need to update theory of decline about IVC. New research and findings suggest that the IVC was actually more concentrated towards the Ghagra Hakkar river system (aka Saraswati) which eventually dried up and therefore made the people migrate towards Gangetic planes. This is based on the finding that majority of IVC sites are based around Ghagra Hakkar not Indus river i.e. around 2/3 of the total sites found so far. This also goes along with the mention of the river Saraswati in Rig Veda in its prime, thereby, indicating that the IVC itself was the Vedic civilization and it has existed much before the proposed 3500 BC since the river that vedas talks about supposedly started drying up around after 4000 BC.

Modern historians are changing the way they look at the history of South Asia wherein ancient Pakistani history (which evolved distinct to the Indian lands history) is being given its own credit and context. Over the next decade you can expect to see this approach become more commonplace as Pakistanis have started to value their own history. And secondly, even tho India has more IV sites than Pakistan, 90% of all cultural artefacts and evidence of IV culture comes from the sites in Pakistan. This is evidence enough for historians to suggest that Pakistan was the cultural and historical centre of the Indus Valley, and the sites in India were merely extensions to the actual important sites that are in Pakistan. This is why many historians believe either Harrapa or Mohenjo Daro to be the capitals of the civilisation and not any Indian site. The IV also extended into Afghanistan and Iran. Pakistan is the IV centre. The culture and civilisation centred around here. Plus over the past decade or so Pakistan has made no progress in excavating new sites - and I’m sure if Pakistan poured resources into this it would easily have more sites or larger quantity and quality. All in all it’s irrefutable that the IVC is mainly ancient Pakistani history, and as time goes on and more and more historians start accrediting ancient Pakistani history as ancient Pakistani history, we’ll see this perspective become more commonplace.

[@BananaConnoisseur]

Answer this. If IVC is a Vedic civilization then why can’t the IVC script be deciphered? What mental gymnastics are you gonna pull off lmao

[@kanika0846]

@@BananaConnoisseur my dear bheemte, to decipher a script, you need some text, long texts to match the context. But in case of IVC there is only 1 slab of 1 line. You can never decipher it! Got it mr gyaanchand?

[@kanika0846]

@@Zecos 😂😂 you exposed yourself. "Now Pakistanis have started to accept their history" well, I'm so glad they now know that they're not sheikhs 😂😂 not Arabs, not turks, but INDIAN!

[@BananaConnoisseur]

@@kanika0846 Puhhjeet my son, if you believe the IVC to be Vedic then its script should match to an Indo-Aryan script like Sanskrit, right? But it doesn’t, therefore it’s not Vedic! This is purely from a linguistic standpoint, we’re not even touching genetic data or archaeology. I’ll award you a bronze medal since you tried really hard🥉

[@GeoffryGifari]

If the Indus Valley civilization lacked social hierarchy, how did they govern themselves? Were the administrators seen just like everybody else? If so, how did the people in charge enforce their rule?

[@raduraducu2668]

Indus River civillisation is was not a unified kingdom ,it was like The "Holly" "Roman" "Empire" of the early ancient world.

[@bebinca]

​@@llawliet57807I'm sure you misunderstood the question...

[@fernando-ek6dr]

The truth is that a lot of information about the IVC is unknown, we do not know what language they spoke, what their religion was or exactly what their forms of social organization were, unfortunately this will continue to be the case until their writing system is deciphered
