What happened to Harappa?
• 1,700 BC—Aryans came to South Asia – Migrated through Russia and passes in the Hindu Kush mountains
• Suggests that Aryans played a role in the end of the Harappan civilization
• No one knows why the civilization ended around 1,700 BC • Possible theories:
– Climate change? – Conquered or Assimilated? – Natural disasters?
• Aryan people and Indus River valley civilization eventually blended into one culture
• This culture was concentrated in both the Indus River valley and the Ganges River valley
