The Indus Valley Civilization, also called the Harappan Civilization, was one of the world’s first ancient civilizations. Emerging in 2500 BCE in the western part of South Asia, it spanned an area that stretched from what is now eastern Iran to Pakistan and included much of modern-day India, Afghanistan and Nepal. Since its discovery in the 1920s, archaeologists have been fascinated by this ancient culture and are still unearthing new discoveries about it today. Here’s an overview of this fascinating civilization and how it came to be so advanced for its time period.

This brief video will take you on a tour of the Indus Valley Civilization.
