Join Zoom Meeting - October 12th - Exploring the Mysterious Disappearance of the Indus Valley Civilization. Presented by:  Anu Pujji

The great Indus Valley Civilization was the world’s earliest urban settlement, which began approximately 5,200 years ago.  The population of over 5,000,000 lived along the Indus River in what is now India, Pakistan, Nepal, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh –- spanning over 386,000 square miles. 

Around 1800 BCE, the civilization began to decline and eventually disappeared, along with its two great cities - Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa.  Harappa lends its name to the Indus Valley people because it was the civilization’s first city to be discovered by modern archeologists.

So how did such an advanced civilization disappear?  What caused its demise?  Archaeologists have many theories but little evidence.  Let us take a trip back in time to explore the mysteries behind the disappearance of this mighty, bronze-age wonder of humankind.
