The First Indian Civilization: Indus Valley Civilization  Based on some of the many artifacts uncovered, it is believed that the people of the Indus Valley were polytheistic.  The bull was also apparently worshiped, which scholars believe influenced later Indian beliefs  Led to the veneration or special regard for cattle.

The Cities of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro  Up to 1500 cities in the Indus River Valley  Both ancient cities in modern-day Pakistan remain a mystery  Not discovered until the 1920’s  Cannot translate the Indus Script  symbols, cylinder seals, animals  Reveal that Harappan societies were organized and clean

 Remains of cities incredibly well planned out  Supporting as many as 80,000 people  Buildings made from uniformed mud bricks fired in a kiln  Water wells, drainage systems  Roads made is square grids  Homes in multiple stories, sewer systems  Reveal that Harappan societies were organized and clean
