After inhabiting an area about the size of western Europe in what is now Pakistan and western India, the Indus Valley or Harappan Civilization developed 3300-1300 BC, the area was inhabited since 7000 BC. Despite being one of the greatest ancient civilizations, not much is known about the Harappan civilization, mainly because their language can not be translated.
We know that they build more than a hundred towns and villages including the cities of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, each built with an organized layout, and complex piping systems with indoor toilets.
Evidence suggests that Harappa have a unified government and that no social class. There is also no evidence of military activity so it is likely that they live in peace.
They were expert astronomers and experienced in agriculture, wheat, barley, peas, melons, sesame and cotton (be the first civilization that produces cotton cloth) and keep some animals including cows and elephants.
