Mohenjo-daro priest

Friday, January 14, 2011

We recently finished our Webq-uest on the Harappan people who occupied the city of Mohenjo-daro. What interesting facts have you learned about this lost civilization? Based on your knowledge of this ancient civilization, what do you feel archaeologists would learn about the Harappans if they could read Harappan writing? Can you identify any similarities and differences between Harappan writing and Cuneiform? If so, tell what they are.

    Archaeologists would understand the religion and culture of the people of the lost civilization. They Would Even Understand The decline of This Civilization.

    If archaeologists could read the Harappan writing I think they would understand how they lived or even how they Harappan civilization declined.

    Wow, I am stunned that the harappans made a sewer system. I wonder how it looked like and how it functions.

    I agree with Mahindra and Aktar that the archaelogists could read the Harappan writing and find out how they lived
