India’s Geographic Features
The Indian subcontinent is
a large, wedge-shaped
peninsula that extends
southward into the Indian
Ocean.
Subcontinent: A large
region that is part of a
continent, but is separated
from the rest of the content
in some way.

Himalayan Mountains
This peninsula is surrounded on the north and northwest by huge mountains, the Himalayan Mountains.
This has often limited India's contact with other cultures. This is known as cultural isolation.
You decide! How would isolation impact the people on Ancient Indus?

Seasonal winds known as monsoons bring rain every summer.
India is dependent upon monsoons to grow their crops. Not
enough rain brings drought. When there is too much rain,
rivers rise and cause deadly floods and destruction of crops.

Which regions in India are most affected by the monsoon?
How does it affect them?

Civilization in the Indus River Valley Begins
About 2500 BC, about the time when the pyramids were rising in Egypt, the first Indian civilizations were forming in the Indus River Valley.
Little is known about these civilizations, but Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro were most likely twin capital cities.

Purpose of Early Cities
Each city was large in
area and contained a
large structure located
on a hilltop.
Many believe these
structures could have
served as a fortress or
even a temple.

Complexities of the Cities
The most historically striking feature of these two cities were the way in which they were both well planned.
Each city was laid out in a grid pattern, the blocks similar to those seen in modern cities.
The homes seem to have been built with bricks and in a pattern repeated throughout the city.

Plumbing In the Cities
In addition, these cities
seem to contain houses
with plumbing
systems, including
baths, drains and water
pipes.
Moved waste beyond
the city limits.

Religion
Religion & politics were linked
Royal palaces served as temples
Rulers power came from divine assistance

Trade with Sumer
Most of the people of the
Indus valley were farmers.
They were the first people
to grow cotton and weave
it into cloth.
There is early evidence of
trade with other
civilizations including
Sumer and Mesopotamia.

The End of Indus is a Mystery
Archaeologists have identified several
possible reasons for it’s decline: Flooding
Earthquake
Climate Change
Environmental change caused by human settlement
Change of the course of the Indus River
And…….

Aryans Take over Indus Valley
Just like not much is known about the
development of this region, not much is
known about its decline.
For unknown reasons, around 1750 B.C. the
Indus Valley began to decline. Then about
1500 B.C., nomadic warriors known as the
Aryans conquered the Indus Valley.
