In this book, the reader discovers the methods of studying the mysterious civilization of the Indus, describes the archaeological finds involved in the study of her secrets. The Indus Valley became the cradle of one of the most advanced civilizations of the Bronze Age, an unusual peaceful community in which developed and complex political organization, and the production of subtle medical instruments, and rich mythology. Once upon a time this civilization disappeared, and was forgotten for centuries, until remarkable discoveries in the 1920s led to its rediscovery. This book gives readers a modern idea of â€â€civilization as complex as its contemporaries in Mesopotamia and Egypt, which embraced a much larger region, but at the same time, lasted much shorter (less than a millennium) and left much less trace. This book tells about the roots of the Indus civilization, the culture of agriculture, an extensive network of commerce, complex crafts and architecture, as well as an unusual existence without wars.
