Indus River Valley Blue Red

Beginning of Indus River Valley The Indus River Valley Civilization started about 2500 B.C.E. Along the south-western part of the Indus River. The largest city was Mohenjo-Daro, in present day Pakistan. Settlements stretched all along the river.

Impact of Geography Natural borders (boarder made of land or water) prevented invasion and disease. Mountains Arabian Sea Water from the river fertilized and irrigated crops. Proximity to the river allowed boats to move.

Agriculture The development of widespread irrigation systems provided food. Wheat and barley were primary crops, however rye, peas, cotton, and rice were also grown. Domestication of animals also served as an important tool for cultivation and as a source of food.

Trade The economy depended greatly on trade. Trade was conducted within the civilization as well as with Mesopotamia. Advancement in technology led to carts and early boats that were used as the main method of trade and travel.

Social Structure- Caste System Caste system with four main classes People were born into social classes that could not be changed. Brahmins (priests and the king) Kshatriyas (warriors and aristocrats - rulers) Vaishyas (cultivators, artisans, and merchants) Shudras (peasants and serfs)

Buildings and Structures All houses had access to water and were about the same size Houses had one or two stories Most buildings were made of dry bricks No large monuments or structures Individual buildings for bathing and using the restroom (had an early "sanitation" system) Citadels were used for defense

ToolsWeaponsTechnology Used Bronze, Copper, IronUsed Bronze to makeLarge Irrigation System Clay Used for Art and ToolsNot as advance as Mesopotamia 1 st to create measurement and weighing equipment Measuring system and tools for measurement (1 st and most accurrate) Arrows were crafted Swords were made Most technology was used to help agriculture Because of isolated geography there was no need for advanced weaponry. Boats and carts were used to help with trade

Religion Hinduism B.C.E. Buddhism 365 B.C.E.

Gender Roles Men worked within their designated caste social class Women were valued because of their ability to produce offspring and nurse When children were old enough, they adopted their parents' role
