Age of Indus
Multi-media chart Hatchet



Between 2400 and 1750 before J. - C., on a vast territory extending from the foot of Tibet to the peninsula of Gujerat, and the valley of Gange at the Iranian border, shone an urban civilization, named “age of Indus” - because it developed starting from the basin of the large river - or “civilization harappéenne”, according to the first excavated site, Harappa.

Its immense cities, such Mohenjo-Daro, strong several tens of thousands of inhabitants, attest the existence of a civilization whose organization, nature of the power and values remain as enigmatic as the writing.
