Dramatic new discoveries illuminate the lost Indus civilization
- PerryCox 10y agoI had never heard of this civilization before so this was a very interesting read. I would also recommend, for people like myself who are just finding out about this group of people, to have a look at the Wikipedia article[1].

- rm_-rf_slash 10y agoThis is amazing. The Indus Valley Civilization is the most fascinating ancient society one could imagine. Not only did they appear to produce fountains and waterways while other civilizations were busy building temples and palaces, but they were also remarkably - perhaps uniquely- peaceful. Very little evidence of weaponry has been found throughout their ruins. If we are lucky enough to decipher their writing system with machine learning (or perhaps some undiscovered Rosetta Stone), I would spend days on end reading everything I could about this incredible and mysterious culture.
- Arizhel 10y agoJust watch out for the ancient aliens people who claim that Mohenjo-Daro and Harrapa were sites of nuclear wars and that the Indus people had flying machines called "vimana".
- selimthegrim 10y agoRabi and Kharif refer to the seasons the crop was sown in, not different cultivars of the given crop. Just a small point that needed clarification.
