Few ancient civilizations have captivated the imagination as much as that of the valley of the Indus, in which some authors believed to see the mythical empire of Rama<\/a>. In my opinion, this vast empire was not limited to this region, nor to this country, nor to this continent. Rama\u2019s empire was planetary.<\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding and Harmony<\/h4>\n

The image above shows the ruins of the city of Harappa, in the Indus Valley. The circular building that dominates the city was neither a royal palace nor a temple, but according to the most recent research, it was a kind of house of the people, or citizens’ palace, I don\u2019t know how to name it. As I explain further, this civilization had no hierarchy.<\/p>\n

All inhabitants\/citizens were equal. Women did not have an inferior social status, as it was a few millennia later. Understanding and harmony seemed to reign at that time, thanks to Rama, whom the Egyptians worshipped under the name of Ra, the Sun, and the ancient Celts under the name of Ram, the Aries of Armor.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Indus Valley<\/h4>\n

The civilization of the Indus Valley traces its roots 8000 years ago to Mehrgarh. At that distant time, the culture of the Indus had largely exceeded the borders of present-day Pakistan, it was centered in Sind and Punjab.<\/p>\n

The two largest cities, Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa, emerged much later it seems, around -2600 along the valley of the Indus, on the Indian bank and on the Pakistani bank.<\/p>\n

This civilization knew the writing, had urban centers, a social and economic structure, and enjoyed comfort and a quality of life undoubtedly superior to ours.<\/p>\n

It was rediscovered in the 1920s during excavations conducted at Mohenjo Daro in Sindh near Sukkur and at Harappa, west of Punjab and south of Lahore. Numerous sites, stretching from the foot of the Himalayas to Indian Punjab, and from Gujarat to Baluchistan have also been discovered and partly studied.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The research is ongoing and the excavations are likely to teach us much more…<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When will we finally admit that our civilization is very far from being the first,
\nand that we are neither the brightest nor the most learned nor the best. Far from it!!!<\/span><\/p>\n

A Refined Taste<\/h4>\n

The archaeological site of Harappa was damaged in 1857 by the engineers who built the Lahore-Multan railway. To make the ballast, they removed many bricks from the site of ruins. It wasn\u2019t the first time, except maybe on such a large scale.<\/p>\n

Despite this heavy loss, an abundance of art objects was found. (source)<\/a>Wikipedia<\/span> Finely crafted precious metal jewelry, pottery, sculptures, all these objects testify to a great craftsmanship and refined taste<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Well-designed tools and utensils confirm this sense of common development between Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro. All this clearly shows that this civilization did not come out of the caves and that their inhabitants did not wear briefs made of zebu skin.
\nWe are dealing with the last relics of a much older civilization.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

No Social Classes<\/h4>\n

“The two cities were able to exist simultaneously and their sizes suggest that they served as the capital of their province. Unlike other civilizations, the burials found in these cities are not magnificent; they are simpler and contain little material goods. These facts suggest that this civilization had no social classes. No remains of palaces or temples have been found in these viles. No tangible traces of military activity were found: it is likely that the Harappan were a peaceful civilization. The cities were however fortified and the inhabitants used copper and bronze to make knives, spears and arrows.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Peaceful civilization, without social classes, ignoring temples and palaces… and we believe ourselves to be civilized!! Civilization has lost a lot since this glorious era.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Urban Civilization<\/h4>\n

“The Harappa civilization was essentially urban and mercantile. The inhabitants of the Indus valley negotiated with Mesopotamia, southern India, Afghanistan and Persia for gold, silver, copper and turquoise.\u00a0 The Mesopotamian model of agriculture was used for irrigation of fertile lands along the Indus. Dikes were raised to control the annual floods of the river. The cultivated plants included wheat, barley, peas, melons, and sesame.\u00a0 This civilization was the first to cultivate cotton for fabric production. Several animal species were domesticated, including the elephant which provided ivory for jewelry.”<\/em> \u00a0(source)<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

This urban civilization shows an exquisite urbanity! And a huge development. Long journeys of supplies were necessary for the development of these two cities. Which supposes a maritime trade… I don\u2019t dare to say aerial, but I\u2019m dying for it.<\/p>\n

We see that long supply trips were necessary for the development of these two cities. We are really at the antipodes of the European archaeological model, for which this period is that of the Cro-Magnon men — on whose savagery there would be much to say. As long as our time will believe itself the only one to enjoy a brilliant civilization, the first to travel by plane or rocket, the first to practice international trade, any evaluation of the distant past will be doubtful.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Mystery Remains Entire<\/h4>\n

Early studies taught us little about this civilization of the Indus. Like the pre-dynastic Egyptian civilization, this culture remains an insoluble enigma for archaeologists imbued with their superiority.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Its origins were evaluated around 5000 BCE (or -5000) remain mysterious for the reasons I have given. Neither his totally unknown language, nor his indecipherable writing, nor any other tangible element satisfies the researchers. His decline also remains totally unexplained. No trace of temples or religious buildings of any kind; cities with a rational, resolutely modern plan; a very high level of material comfort, an obvious health concern, no apparent difference in social class.<\/p>\n

No Western civilization, not even Egypt<\/a> or Mesopotamia<\/a>, has shown such a degree of development and planning. Otherwise, at the other end of the earth, a people just as mysterious, the Olmecs<\/a>. And the supermen of Teotihuacan<\/a>. And the Mayas<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It would be high time to wonder if the builders of the megaliths, dolmens, menhirs, tumulus<\/a>, etc., had not also reached a higher level of civilization than ours. I hear from here the yelping indignation of old schnocks full of certainties and full of detestable pride…<\/p>\n

Let them gasp, these useless ones!<\/p>\n

He who comes into the world to disturb nothing deserves neither consideration nor patience.<\/p>
