The Indus Valley Civilization is one of the oldest civilizations in human history. It arose on the Indian subcontinent nearly 5,000 years ago — roughly the same time as the emergence of ancient Egypt and nearly 1,000 years after the earliest Sumerian cities of Mesopotamia. The Harappan civilization is located in the Indus River valley. Its two large cities, Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, were located in present-day Pakistan’s Punjab and Sindh provinces, respectively. Get on a venture of ancient civilization insight.
Day 1:
The Indus River Valley Civilization, also known as Harappan civilization, developed the first accurate system of standardized weights and measures, some as accurate as to 1.6 mm. Harappans created sculpture, seals, pottery, and jewelry from materials, such as terracotta, metal, and stone.
Day 2:
The ancient site at Kot Diji was the forerunner of the Indus Civilization. The occupation of this site is attested already at 3300 BCE. The remains consist of two parts; the citadel area on high ground (about 12 m [39 ft])), and outer area.
Faiz Mahal is a great monument to the glorious past that was the symbol of power. It was built in 1896 by Mir Sohrab Khan Talpur as the sovereign court for the Talpur monarchs of the Khairpur dynasty and later it turned into the royal residence.
The name Mohenjo-Daro is reputed to signify “the mound of the dead.” The archaeological importance of the site was first recognized in 1922, one year after the discovery of Harappa. Subsequent excavations revealed that the mounds contain the remains of what was once the largest city of the Indus civilization.

Ayub Bridge, named after Field Marshal Mohammad Ayub Khan, is a railway bridge over the Indus River between Rohri and Sukkur in Sindh province, Pakistan. The bridge is about 806 feet long, 247 feet.
It has served the city for 50 years by providing a strong link for rail traffic between Sukkur and Rohri. Before this, Lansdowne Bridge was the railway link between Sukkur and Rohri. The foundation stone of this steel arch bridge was laid on 9 December 1960 and inaugurated by President Muhammad Ayub Khan on 6 May 1962.
Sadh Belo, also spelt as Sadh Bela, or Sat, is an island in the Indus River near Sukkur, Sindh, Pakistan that is famous for its highly revered Hindu temples. The temples are associated with the syncretic Udasi movement of Sikhism. The island is famous for Teerath Asthan which is the biggest Hindu temple in Pakistan.
