Detailed explanation-1: -Important innovations of this civilization include standardized weights and measures, seal carving, and metallurgy with copper, bronze, lead, and tin. Little is understood about the Indus script, and as a result, little is known about the Indus River Valley Civilization’s institutions and systems of governance.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Harappan civilization was 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.
Detailed explanation-3: -The streets were straight and cut each other at right angles. The roads were made to divide the city into rectangular blocks and were made using burnt brick. Lamp posts have been found at regular intervals that the street lights existed at that time.
Detailed explanation-4: -The most unique aspect of planning during the Indus Valley civilization was the system of underground drainage. The main sewer, 1.5 meters deep and 91 cm across, connected to many north-south and east-west sewers. It was made from bricks smoothened and joined together seamlessly.
