GEOGRAPHY
The Indus valley was by main
rivers, the Indus river. The Indus
river was very important to
Indus life . The river provided
irrigation, it also created fertile
land for farming. In the middle
of India is Deccan plateau, which
might have helped Indus people
from foreign invaders. The
Himalayas are also located near
Indus valley, as the Hindu Kush
mountain range.
AGRICULTURE
Dinner might have been
warm wheat bread
served with barley or
rice. It would appear
they were very good
farmers. They grew peas,
melons, wheat and
dates. Farms raised
cotton and kept herds of
sheep, pigs, zebus (cow)
and water buffalo.

SCIENCE
•People of Indus civilization achieved great accuracy in
measuring length, mass, and time.
•They were among the first to develop a system of uniform
weights and measures
•Their measurement are said to be extremely precise ; however ,
a comparison of available objects indicates large scale across the
Indus territories.
•The smallest division ever recorded on a scale was
approximately 1.704.
Arts and culture
The Indus civilization were the first
to weave cloth. They also created
sculpture pots and jewelry. One of
their biggest artist achievement was
the great bath which we think was
used for religious ceremonies and
public bathing
