This video explains the large Indus Valley civilization in the fertile river basin of the Indus river in what is now western India and Pakistan, which started at around 3000 BC.

Following are points the video talks about:

— The people grew crops in farming villages, traded with other cultures such as the cities in Mesopotamia, had their own form of writing, and implemented elaborate urban planning with sophisticated brick living structures that had indoor commodes with drainage systems. 

— The people worshiped nature and water, which is similar to present day Hindu beliefs. 

— The population of the continent during this time period was between four and six million people, with the people being sustained by the Indus river basin where crops such as wheat and barley were grown and stored in granaries. 

— When trading, they used containers that had seals with writing imprinted on them which have shown up in Mesopotamia as early as 3,500 BC. 

— No metallic money existed at this time, but instead a barter system was used. 

— They traded cotton, jewelry, and animals.

— Terra-cotta toys have been found that demonstrate the use of domesticated Oxen pulling carts, and sculptures have been discovered that give insights into the lives of the people;

— It was a peaceful society, no weapons or warlike behavior has ever been found.

— At about 1,500 BC people had mostly abandoned their urban settlements in that region, but it is not known why.
