- r-johnv 1y ago"New clues as to why the ancient and advances Indus valley civilization vanished" is the original article title. More informative, less clickbaity. Other than that, I quite enjoyed the article and the parallels to how modern cities might shift with changes in climate patterns.
- zkmon 1y agoOne thing to note is, when we say that civilization vanished, it sounds drastic. A lot of ancient events such as fall of Roman empire etc also sound like it happened over a few years. However, the current changes happening worldwide are much more rapid than those ancient events.
- IAmBroom 11mo agoYes, more like the Erosion of Rome. What we face is a much more literal fall: massive extinctions of bio-infrastructure that we depend on for food, large swaths of land becoming uninhabitable without air-conditioning, etc., all within a couple generations.
