The Indus River civilization arose in about 2500 B.C.
- Mesopotamia= 4500 B.C.
- Egypt= 3200 B.C.

Guarded by mountains◦ Hindu Kush, Karakorum, and the Himalayas
In between the Ganges and the Indus rivers

Geographers refer the landmass that includes India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh as the Indian subcontinent
The Indus River flows southwest Himalayas to the Arabian Sea
The Ganges River flows eastward across northern India

Himalayas serve as protection from invaders and traps and keeps moisture
Seasonal winds called monsoons dominate India’s climate
◦ October to February: winter monsoons from the northeast blow dry air westward across the country
◦ June to October: the monsoons blow eastward from the southwest carrying moisture from the ocean
◦ Different seasons= wind blows from different directions
*without the monsoons Extreme droughts and dryness

Like the Mesopotamians and the Egyptians, the Indus River civilization faced similar challenges:
◦ Yearly floods◦ Unpredictable like Mesopotamia
◦ Rivers sometimes changed course
◦ The cycle of wet and dry seasons brought by monsoons effected crops

Historians know less about the Indus River civilizations because they have not yet translated their writing
◦ Archaeologists found evidence that people settled in this area around 7000 B.C.
◦ Domesticated sheep herd bones
◦ Believe that civilizations started in the Indus River Valley around 3200 B.C.
