The Indus Valley Civilization, one of the earliest and most widespread ancient civilizations, flourished from 3300 to 1300 BC. It was known for its advanced urban planning, including multi-story homes and sophisticated sanitation systems. The civilization's economy was heavily reliant on trade with Mesopotamia, facilitated by innovations in transport. Despite its achievements, little is known about its governance and religion, as no temples or palaces have been found. The civilization's decline is attributed to climate change and river course changes. Its legacy includes small, well-crafted art and a peaceful culture.
