Redefining the age of Indian civilization

Indian civilization is one of the oldest civilizations in the world, including lands in countries like India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh today. Archaeologists have found India's first cradle in the Indian basin. Here, people find statues of a man in a posture of thought suggesting to a sect of yoga. Many artifacts are found in the area of ​​Harappa and Mohenjo dating from 3,000 to 1800 BC.

Artifacts date back to 2500 BC of ancient Indian civilization.

From the time of the first civilization excavation in Harappa and Mohenjodaro, today is Pakistan, the ancient Indian civilization is considered to be the world's oldest civilization along with Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations (Iraq nowadays). In recent times, archaeologists divided Indian civilization into three periods: pre-Harappan period, Harappan and post Harappan periods. Characteristics of pre-civilization Harappan is a primitive stone civilization, while the post-Harappan period has appeared sophisticated brick cities with systems of granaries, toilets and even scripts. decoded.

However, the age of this Indian civilization is being redefined by archaeologist Dikshit when he claims there is evidence that ancient Indian civilization was 2,000 years earlier than the age of being confirmed. presently.

Archaeologist Dikshit had pushed the basin civilization to live India 500 years earlier thanks to the findings in 1960 and this time he said that when the Bhirrana region (now Rajasthan state) was excavated since 2003 by 2006, he and his colleagues discovered many antiques from the years 7500 BC to 6200 BC.

The 6 artifacts discovered in Bhirrana include relatively advanced ceramics, showing that the ancient Harappan civilization or the Indian River basin civilization began earlier than one had imagined and the center of this civilization lay in Harayana and Rajasthan states of India, not in Pakistan as determined. The new findings reinforce the argument that the ancient civilization of Harappan is about the same age as regional civilizations in West Asia, like the stone city of Jericho in Palestine.
