Indus Valley Civilisation:Geographical structure, area, name of mountains, rivers and famous cities!

Civilisations are communities/societies of people who are categorised by different characteristics, such as warfare, government, economy, transport, etc. 

The Indus Valley civilisation, also known as the Harappan civilisation, was one of the most famous Indian civilisations ever existing. They were well known for their architecture and one of their major breakthroughs was the drainage system.


 The Indus Valley Civilisation(the part of land which it occupied), was surrounded by forests, deserts and rivers, making it a fertile land.  

The Indus Valley Civilisation covered around 1,000,000 square kilometres, including Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa. The ancient civilisation formed the Himalayas and another mountain range called Hindu Kush. Among their famous rivers were Ganges and the Indus.

 The cities are currently divided in modern-day Pakistan and modern-day India. The cities in modern-day Pakistan are Harappa, Ganweriwala and Mohenjo-daro. The cities  in modern-day India are Dholavira, Kalibangan, Rakhigarhi, Rupar and Lothal .
