Indus Valleyball, also called Harappan Civilizationball (named after one of its former cities, Harappaball,) or IVCball, was a Bronze age river valley civilization and one of the first civilizations to exist. It was located in present-day Pakistanball and Indiaball, but at its height around 2300-1900 BC, it also had some colonies in Afghanistanball and even in Iranball, although the territory in Iranball was very small and insignificant.
History
Early history
Indus Valleyball evolved from Mehrgarhball around 3300-2800 BC. Indus Valleyball's origins is unknown but most archeologists believe it was Dravidian in origin. The people of Indus Valleyball had brick houses, complex draining systems, water supply systems, and an understanding of metallurgy. They used money, and traded with other people.
Advancements and height of power
Once Indus Valleyball was formed, it had many contributions to the society and human socioeconomic evolution. This is probably where the occult art of yoga originated from. One other main things that they created was the "ruler" - the measuring stick. The first ruler was made out of ivory. The rulers were calibrated up to 1/16 of an inch, which is less than 2 milimeters. This can be shown from the bricks used in the civilization, because the bricks had the dimensions that corresponded to these units. Cities like Harappaball and Mohenjo-Daroball were the greatest achievements of Indus Valleyball. These cities are well known for their impressive and organized layout. They were also one of the first cities ever to use indoor toilets and plumbing systems. At its height between around 2300-1900 BC, Indus Valleyball also had colonies in small parts of Afghanistanball and Iranball.
Decline
The Indus valley civilization started declining from about 1900 BCE. Changes in climate, decline of trade with Mesopotamians, drying up or flooding of the river, foreign invasion of Indus civilisation might have been the reasons for the decline of this civilization.
Many scholars believe that the collapse of the Indus Valley Civilization was caused by climate change. Some experts believe the drying of the Saraswati River, which began around 1900 BCE, was the main cause for climate change, while others conclude that a great flood struck the area.
Some consider that the Indic migrations may contributed to Indus Valleyball's collapse, though eventually these groups mixed to form modern north Indians.
