Decipher the collapse of the first ancient civilization

Recently, archaeologists explain the cause of the collapse of the Indus civilization - one of the first major cities in the world.

Archaeologists believe that climate change has eradicated the Indus civilization , which flourished more than four thousand years ago.

Indus civilization is one of the first major urban cultures in the world, covering all Egypt and Mesopotamia.

This empire spread over more than a million square kilometers, stretching from the Arabian Sea to the Ganges, corresponding to the region of northwestern India, eastern Afghanistan and Pakistan today.

The Indus civilization was forgotten until the ruins were unearthed in 1920. Since then, a series of studies have discovered a complex urban culture with internal commercial routes. establish.

Archaeologists also explored construction works, environmental sanitation, art, science, and writing systems, associated with civilization.

The international team took more than five years to combine satellite images and geological data to create a digital topographic map of the entire area that the Indus civilization once existed.

'We have recreated the landscape of the delta region, where the Indus civilization developed about 5200 years ago, but has slowly disappeared in the period from 3000 to 3900 years ago.

So far, there has been a lot of speculation about the connection between the Indus civilization and the rivers that bring abundance to the land where the people of that time lived. ' Woods Hole (USA), head of the research team, said.

According to research results, rivers bring life to the Indus civilization, however, when the monsoon rains disappear, this ancient civilization also disappeared.

The study also showed that reduced rainfall weakens rivers, while river water plays a decisive role in the survival of Harappan culture - a group of people who make up 10% of the world's population. ancient, creating the brilliant development of Indus civilization.

The Indus civilization has mysteriously disappeared about 4,500 years ago. For the first time, scientists discovered that climate change is the cause of the collapse of this famous ancient city.
