Reflections on Indus Valley Civilisation

The Indus Valley Civilisation was the first Indian civilisation. The 3 main features are government, occupation and writing.
Due to the well-planned architectural design, it can be concluded that the Indus Valley Civilisation had an efficient government. Some examples are the granary for storing food, a citadel to take shelter if an enemy attacked and also The Great Bath for religious purposes.
As food is essential, the occupation were mostly farmers. Utensils, bronze tools and other artefacts found shows that there were craftmens at that time. As The Great Bath was used for religious purposes, it was concluded that there was priest to conduct the ceremony.
Archaeologists have found stone seals with writings which shows that this is their form of writing. It was used as a form of identification. However, nobody can read the meanings of the stone seals.

Decline

Floods was one of the reasons why Indus Valley Civilisation declined. Due to this floods, mosquitoes have bred which caused the outbreak of malaria. It was also the cause of the invasion of the Aryans.
