Detailed explanation-1: -Unlike Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt, the inhabitants of the Indus Valley Civilization did not build large, monumental structures. There is no conclusive evidence of palaces or temples-or even of kings, armies, or priests-and the largest structures may be granaries.
Detailed explanation-2: -The civilization was first discovered during an excavation campaign under Sir John Hubert Marshall in 1921–22 at Harappa following the discovery of seals by J Fleet. Harappan ruins were discovered by Marshall, Rai Bahadur Daya Ram Sahni and Madho Sarup Vats. Mohenjodaro ruins were excavated for the first time by R.D.
Detailed explanation-3: -All the cities of the Indus Valley civilization had a proper drinage system and wells for water availability. The cities also had public bathtubs and prayer halls.
Detailed explanation-4: -Discovery & Early Excavation All that can be known of the civilization to date comes from the physical evidence excavated at various sites. The story of the Indus Valley Civilization, therefore, is best given with the discovery of its ruins in the 19th century CE.
Detailed explanation-5: -Harappa and Mohenjo-daro were the two great cities of the Indus Valley Civilization, emerging around 2600 BCE along the Indus River Valley in the Sindh and Punjab provinces of Pakistan.
