Question

Identify the location of the Harappan civilization on this map of the Indian subcontinent.

Answer 1

Answer:

I do not have access to the map that you mention, but I can tell you that this civilization developed on the banks of the Indus River, in present-day India and Pakistan, between 2200 and 1700 BC. Due to its location it is also known as the Indus civilization.

Explanation:

Despite being one of the first civilizations in human history, it is relatively little known. They had a pictographic writing that has not yet been deciphered, which has meant that, unlike what happens with the civilizations of the Fertile Crescent, researchers have not been able to detail their history or fully understand their economic and social structure.

The Indus civilization disappeared due, probably, to the existence of a phase of decadence that facilitated the invasions of foreign peoples. Starting in 1700 BC, various Aryan tribes from Iran violently penetrated the territory and seized power in the region. Thus began a stage known as Vedic and characterized by the disappearance of the Harappan culture and the imposition of the customs of the invaders.
