I visited Harrapa & Mohenjo-daro many times as I've lived there for the most of my life. I also visited nearby museums and saw the Harappan art, tools etc.
I didn't see a single art warfare ever or a soldier's sword or any war-weapon like thing at all. I've been reading about Indus civilisation since I was 10 but in almost all the time, I came to conclusion that Indus Civilisation was one of the most peaceful era of all that area (I'm not comparing that time with now but relative to other parts of the world at that time).
It is very unfortunate that India & Pakistan has most of the cities as unplanned, dirty & polluted even though they have some of the most fascinated civilisation buried behind their backyard.
- fillskills 12y agoThank you. I posted this link because the article (not the title) attracted me to the Harappan culture and I wanted to know if it really was true that they fought no wars. Finding absolutely no war instruments is actually a really big deal. Great to know someone who actually interacts with the place so often.
- lappet 12y ago>I visited Harrapa & Mohenjo-daro many times as I've lived there for the most of my life Wow that is fascinating. If I may ask have you visited the sites in both India and Pakistan? I think a majority of the sites are in Pakistan and being Indian that is not going to be easy any time soon
- tegeek 12y agoHarrapa & Mohenjo-daro are both in Pakistan. Both of the sites are famous and most of the kids in Punjab province visit these sites through school/college trips. Most of the remains of the Indus Civilization are in Pakistan. One of the oldest known sites of early Harrapan culture is not mentioned in the article is Mehrgarh [1] and belongs to Neolithic period (6500 BCE to c. 2500 BCE). 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehrgarh http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehrgarh
