The Decline and Fall of the Indus Valley Civilization
This chapter discusses the decline and fall of the Indus Valley Civilization, which occurred approximately 4,000 years ago. The people of this ancient civilization were forced to abandon their cities due to worsening environmental conditions, including colder and drier weather, leading to droughts and a lack of sufficient food. Despite the decay of their cities, the memory of the Indus Valley Civilization persisted as a remarkable peak of ancient civilization that gradually became the stuff of legend.
