History

The early phase of the civilization lasted from circa 3300 BC until 2800 BC. This saw farming settlements grow into large and sophisticated urban centres. The quality of municipal town planning indicates that these communities were controlled by efficient governments. These clearly placed a high priority on accessibility to water. Modern scholars tend to see in this the influence of a religion which places a string emphasis on ritual washing - much like modern Hinduism. Hygiene was also important to the inhabitants. The urban planning included the world's first known urban sanitation systems. Within the city, people obtained water from wells. Within their homes, some rooms had facilities in which waste water was directed to covered drains. These lined the major streets. These ancient Indus sewerage and drainage systems were far in advance of anything found in contemporary urban sites in the Middle East. The advanced architecture and construction techniques of the Indus cities is shown by their impressive dockyards, granaries, warehouses, brick platforms, and protective walls. Their massive walls were probably designed to protect them as much from floods as from attack. Most city dwellers were traders or artisans. They lived with others of the same occupation in well-defined neighbourhoods. Although some houses were larger than others, Indus civilization cities do not show the kind of massive gulf between wealthy and poor dwellings that is found in those of other civilizations. Their society seems to have been egalitarian to a remarkable degree - but perhaps we should not make too much of this until the civilization in understood more, as this seems to contradict so much of what we know about other ancient societies. However, all the houses had access to water and drainage facilities, which gives the impression of a society where even the poor had a decent standard of living (though there may have been extensive "shanty towns" outside the walls, which have left scant archaeological remains). http://www.timemaps.com/civilization/Indus-Valley-civilization<span> :) All that info will Help u</span>

In your opinion, was there any way for the colonies to make up with Great Britain? Could the Revolution have been avoided or was
ozzi
In my opinion there is no way for the colonies to make up with Great Britain noir was there any way to avoid the revolutionary war. If it had not been for the revolutionary war we would not have the independence that we do today. Although the British didn’t wrongfully tax us, they taxed us too much. Not only did they tax us during the stamp act of 1773 but they also taxed us during the coersive acts as well. Although the stamp act lowered the taxation from sixpence to three, technically it was more because we never had to pay taxes in the first place. The Coercive Acts pushed the colonists to rebel further. The acts restricted the colonists more than they were already. They were restricted from using the Boston Harbor until the city paid for the tea that they threw over the boat. Because the harbor was closed, there could be no trading. Having no trade hurt the Bostonians and their trade business. None of their imports could come in, and none of their exports could go out. So all in all the revolutionary war was inevitable and could not be avoided. (Hopefully that works u might wanna spiff it up a bit)
