- Agriculture developed as early as 3000 BCE with crops like wheat, barley, rice, and cotton. India was one of the first to cultivate cotton and used it to weave cloth making colorful clothing with natural vegetable dyes. They may also have been the first to raise chickens!
- The rivers and oceans were full of fish and birds as well as pearls and salt. Metallurgy was another great achievement of ancient India and was a result of mines rich with gold, copper, and iron.
- The rivers and oceans lent themselves to travel and trade by boat. Ancient India also imported silk, silver, tin, wool, and grain from along the Silk Road. They exported cotton, ivory, salt, pearls, beads, gold, and wood, and also created coins in 300 BCE.
