Why Did the Harappan Culture Vanish 5 000 Year Ago

It is truly astounding just how many cultures, civilisations and peoples have risen and fallen throughout the course of human history. For many of these cultures, we have a record of answers and causes that led to their downfall, but for other, more ancient ones, all we have are a few leads. One such culture that vanished with only a few clues as to where and how was the Harappan Culture, otherwise known as the Indus Valley Civilisation. Known for their well planned and technologically impressive cities of Harappa and Mohenjo Daro, these people once thrived on the misty river banks of Pakistan and northern India for around two thousand years, before disappearing from the face of the Earth. So, what happened to them? What became of the thousands of people who called the Indus Valley home, and what led to their disappearance? In this video, we will discuss this very topic.
