Detailed explanation-1: -The civilization was first identified in 1921 at Harappa in the Punjab region and then in 1922 at Mohenjo-daro (Mohenjodaro), near the Indus River in the Sindh (Sind) region. Both sites are in present-day Pakistan, in Punjab and Sindh provinces, respectively.
Detailed explanation-2: -The first extensive excavations at Harappa were started by Rai Bahadur Daya Ram Sahni in 1920. His work and contemporaneous excavations at Mohenjo-daro first brought to the world’s attention the existence of the forgotten Indus Valley civilization as the earliest urban culture in the Indian subcontinent.
Detailed explanation-3: -In 1912 Harappan seals with unknown symbols were discovered by J. Fleet. This triggered an expedition by Sir John Hubert Marshall in 1921-1922. This expedition led to the discovery of the ancient city of Harappa, thus confirming the existence of the Indus Valley civilization.
