Great video as always! One of the reasons, speculated about the decline of the Harappan Civilization is the capricious tectonic activities in the Himalayan plain in the 3rd millennium BCE. Sarasvati had two major tributaries - Drishadvati (who had a twin river Yamuna - which flows into the Ganges) and Shatudri. Due to a major shift in the plates, almost the entire water of Drishadvati went into Yamuna and Shatudri changed her track to meet the Indus. This created a water shortage in the Sarasvati basin, followed by severe draughts. In turn the Indus basin flooded with the excessive flow due to inclusion of Shatudri. The Harappans were in the endgame. Some moved towards the West and settled around the Mediterranean and some moved towards the Ganges in the East. The drying of Sarasvati was mentioned in the Mahabharata, where a sage Pulastya talked about sudden invisibility of Sarasvati somewhere near the present-day Jaisalmer in Rajasthan to the exiled King Yudhisthira.

Till what I have studied about saraswati river. It was a river made due to glacier of late ice age. As ice age ended the all the ice started melting and providing fertile soil thus civilization flourished. But in few thousand year all ice went down and river that were formed dried up. As all ancient civilization were dependent on rivers for those like indus killed entire civilization (not the people but cities) people migrated and civilization disintegrated.

@@comunistubula4424 true good observation. As about saraswati river I believe that I originated from northern part of India from tip of the area in ice age as most of north India was covered with ice. 5 million people were living in different cities located at banks of different rivers. But as you suggested a pandemic kind of thing originated from a city and spread through whole civilization as all the cities where connected through trade people moving from one another like today. And apparently a pandemic like Corona that spread vast and due rivers population and sarswati river being getting dired.

They follow sanatan dharma (hinduism) they believed in one god having several incarnations. The unicorn which content creator was referring was bull. It is referred to as god Shiva's carrige. You can see trident and many other signs in harappan artifacts. They were probably shivaites . They used to write in symbols formation instead of words. Pottery, farming, buisness, culture, festivals were there main fields of involvement. There is much more to be discovered in depth. This content creator tried to tell about Harappan civilization, but it seems that he had not properly researced all the available sources to make thia video much more better and conclusive. By the way it was nice to hear something about ancient indian civilization from a foreign individual.

@@Al_Muslim0101 Hinduism predominantly existed in ancient era from iran to Philippines and from Afghanistan to sri-lanka. I am referring to the time when, other religions that are existing today were not even originated and there wasn't even idea about their gods in the minds of masses.

This is by far the best short educational video about indus valley civilization that I have seen. You have condensed so much info that took me weeks to just read! Great work! Do look into more ancient Indian history. It has a lot of vague populism around it but concrete, lucid description are seriously missed -- battle of ten kings on early janapadas and the rise of mahajanapadas, for example. That was an equivalent of world war for the vedic tribes.

Good job. Great video as always. Next, if possible, you can cover a series of videos on "Ancient Places of Worship (Temples) in India" For example: 'Kailasa Temple in Ellora Caves' ~ a megalith carved from a rock cliff. It is still a mystery as to how it was created and where all the cut rock has gone. There are many similar ancient temples that were wonders of their time.

You missed a crucial information regarding those seals, those seals has specific animals, as per the nearest large city, like that unicorn-ish thing was used in Mohenjo-Daro, to prove the person in the city is of mohenjo-daro, when they visit another city, for diplomatic or some other reason, that unicorn was symbol of Mohenjo-Daro. Other cities had other animals, and they worked together to prevent attacks and floods, but would not interfere in internal matters of each other, like an federation. A council was elected by the rulers of the cities, which solved the problems (if any) between cities, and made sure that there would be no wars(like UN but 1000xtimes better), and also ensure that even if there are war like situations in the cities, the trade would facilitate smoothly.
