It is the period when the Egyptians, Babylonian and Mesopotamian Civilizations flourished. From the objects discovered at the cities of the Indus Valley Civilizations, historians have made a comparative study of the contemporary civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt and Babylonia. They came to the conclusion that the Indus Valley Civilization was at its height of glory during the period of the contemporary civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt and Babylonia. The most famous bronze ‘dancing girl’ figurine was discovered at Mohenjodaro. It is a female figure, in a dancing pose. She is wearing a large number of bangles. It is the first sculpture in dancing gesture discovered in the Indian subcontinent. The cotton piece was found in Mohenjodaro. Traces of cotton fibres and textile fragments provide evidence of production of cotton textiles from the early Harappan period. Cotton was a commodity the people of Mohenjodaro probably exported, perhaps in exchange for minerals, tools or other goods The people of the Indus Valley Civilization mainly traded with the Mesopotamians. Dilmun and Makan were intermediate trading stations between Meluha and Mesopotamia. Meluha is the earliest name of the Indus area. On the site of the Indus Valley Civilization, the famous Bull-seal was found in Harappa. The Bullseal shows a humped bull displaying a strong and energetic bull. The figure has been made well, a proof of the fine artistic skills acquired by the people of that time. Seals are mainly in square or rectangular shape. This Bull-seal dates to around 2450-2200 BC. The famous ‘Dancing girl’ found in Mohenjodaro is an artifact that is some 4,500 years old. The 10.8 cm long statue of the dancing girl was found in 1926 from a house in Mohenjodaro and is made of bronze. © The bathing pool was the unique structure of Mohenjodaro. It measures 11.88 x 1.01 x 2.43 mt. The floor of the bath pool was made of burnt bricks. (The site of Mohenjodaro was discovered in 1922 by R. D. Banerji, an officer of the Archeological Survey of India, two years after major excavations had begun at Harappa, some 590 km to the north. Large-scale excavations were carried out at the site under the direction © scanned wen oxen sconeof John Marshall, K. N. Dikshit, Ernest Mackay, and other directors through the 1930s. Mohenjodaro is situated along the west bank of the Indus River while Harappa is located 640 km northeast of Mohenjodaro. Houses of the Indus Valley Civilization were one or two stories high, made of baked (Pucca) bricks, with flat roofs. Each was built around a courtyard, with windows overlooking the courtyard. The outside walls had no windows. Each home had its own private drinking well and its own private bathroom. Mohenjodaro is not the original name, of course, but one given by local villagers referring to the ‘mound of the dead’: the tower and hillocks of abandoned debris of bricks that their forefathers had noticed in the surroundings The Indus Valley Civilization was urbanized, highly developed and sophisticated. The ruins exhibit a high level of planning in the cities. Excavations have indicated that the buildings were built with baked bricks. The streets were well constructed at right angles with an elaborate and covered drainage system. The civilization also had public buildings including the vast granaries and the Great Bath at Mohenjodaro. Iron was not known to the Indus Valley Civilization people. The first evidence of Iron is found about 1000 B.C. from Atranjikhera in Etah district. © scanned wen oxen sconeAuthor of the book “The Making of Modern Sindh” is 2 A. Rasool Bux Palijo B.
