The Indus : Lost Civilizations Paperback / softback
by Andrew Robinson
Part of the Lost Civilizations series
Paperback / softback
Description
The Indus civilization flourished for half a millennium from about 2600 to 1900 BC, when it mysteriously declined and vanished from view.
It remained invisible for almost four thousand years, until its ruins were discovered in the 1920s by British and Indian archaeologists.
Today, after almost a century of excavation, it is regarded as the beginning of Indian civilization and possibly the origin of Hinduism. The Indus: Lost Civilizations is an accessible introduction to every significant aspect of an extraordinary and tantalizing ‘lost’ civilization, which combined artistic excellence, technological sophistication and economic vigour with social egalitarianism, political freedom and religious moderation.
The book also discusses the vital legacy of the Indus civilization in India and Pakistan today.
