In fact, all our products are so great that people come from miles away just to buy them, but money hasn’t been invented yet - we just trade things instead.
We’re actually one of the first people in the world to have those.Ĭheck this out! We’re really big gamers in the Indus Valley, and this one is so addictive that I bet you’ll still be playing it in your time.Īt last the market – I love it here.
#Indus river valley civilization mod#
So as you know, our houses have all the mod cons, including personal wells and flushing toilets. They’re very durable, lasting for thousands of years, which is how your historians will find out about us. We don’t have stones around here so, just like you, we use bricks, all baked from clay. You’d call it a ‘high street’ – we were using the same idea 4,500 years before you. And down the middle is a big, wide, straight street, just wide enough, in fact, for two elephants to pass side-by-side. We built some of the first planned cities ever, so the sewers, the roads and the buildings all fit together in a grid system. Some cities are higgledy-piggledy – not ours. It brings all sorts of benefits, like farming, irrigation and travel, but it can be a bit of a bad neighbour and occasionally tries to wash us away.

So today Mum has made a special trip to sell our grain in the big city. We’re farmers, by the way, and like all Indus people, we survive from what we can sell. I can’t wait to show you around our village. You can’t miss us – we’re about four times the size of Britain! Aha, you made it! Hi, I’m Suri. Head south-east over Europe and you’ll see us, just before India. I’d like to show you what it’s like to live in the ancient Indus Valley, one of the earliest civilisations, so we’re a long way back in time.īack before the Vikings… before the Romans and keep going back, back, back until Stonehenge is being built 4,500 years ago.
