What is the prehistory of the Indus Valley civilization?
There were smaller villages and cities before the IVC. The most important one is known to be Mehrgarh (6500-2500 BCE)Mehrgarh is now seen as a precursor to the Indus Valley CivilizationThe discovery of India’s first and earliest civilization posed a historical puzzle as it seemed to have suddenly appeared on the stage of history, full grown and fully equipped. The puzzle could largely be solved after the extensive excavation work conducted at Mehrgarh near the Bolan Pass between 1973 and 1980 by two French archaeologists Richard H. Meadow and Jean Francoise Jarrige.Mehrgarh gives us an archaeological record with a sequence of occupations. Archaeological research over the past decades has established a continuous sequence of strata.These strata have been named pre-Harappan, early Harappan, mature Harappan and late Harappan phases or stages.The sequence begins with the transition of nomadic herdsmen to settled agricultural communities as per the evidence found at the first site i.e. Mehrgarh near the Bolan Pass. It continues with the growth of large villages and the rise of towns in the second stage exemplified at Amri, SindhThe Amri people did not possess any knowledge of town-planning or of writing. The third stage in the sequence leads to the emergence of the great cities as in Kalibangan and finally ends with their decline, which is the fourth stage and exemplified by Lothal. Amri, Kot-Dijian and Kalibangan cultures are stratigraphically found to be pre-Harappan.Indus Valley Civilisation: Origin, Evolution and Characteristics The following table gives a good summary of prehistoric old world culturesSynoptic table of the principal old world prehistoric cultures
If you were to wake up in the year 1000 AD, how would you bring civilization to today's level of technology?
U could not bring the people living during the Midpoint of the Middle Ages, 1,000AD to the level of today’s technologies as they could never comprehend nor understand anything regarding the concept of the future that was 1,018 years from their present time. It would not interest the majority of the people living at that time. Their focus would be on survival in a Feudal System European World.Fact — Brief description of civilization in 1000 AD, Midpoint of the Middle Ages (500 AD — 1500 AD)(source 1)Sourceshttps://www.britannica.com/event...the middle ages - Google Searchrge middle ages - Google Search:
