Indus Valley Civilization
Storyboard Text
- Alright! But help me get some water. We need it to wash up, and Bob needs it to irrigate the fields. I also heard there might be a religious ceremony later, so we should get some extra.
- We've made it to the Indus River! I'm getting a little thirsty, I'm gonna drink some water from the river.
- Ah yes, home. Where every house has a toilet, and an early version of the septic system.
- Don't forget about our straight roads that really help to keep our city organized! And of course the showers, too.
- I always feel so much cleaner after dumping clean water over me!
- Mesopotamia(Sumer)
- Hello! I have some Indus Seals and weights that I have to trade if you are interested?
- That is actually just what I was looking for! I brought some textiles for my trade!
- This is the Great Bath. It's almost like a pool, but different. Instead of swimming in the Great Bath, we held religious beliefs about purity.

- A lot of people do wonder, "How did the Indus Civilization end?"Well, there were many possibilities to that.
- Another theory is that the Indus River changed direction many times, resulting with either bringing too much water, or not enough. Our cities were destroyed. 5-6 times.
- Yes, that is correct. But one of those theories is that we needed larger fields for farming, so we cut down trees to make large fields. But by doing that, we lost nutrients, and only had a limited crop supply.
