The Indus Civilization was born in the present day Pakistan, some parts of Afghanistan and India sometime between 7500 BCE. The Indus Civilization thrived in the Indus River basin; hence named the Indus Civilization.
The 4500 years old Indus Civilization evolved with a sophisticated culture and unique approaches to trade. They connected with the Sumerian and Mesopotamian cultures and made it to the sea route for trade purposes. The cities of Karachi and Islamabad in today’s Pakistan were part of the Indus Civilization.
Evidences about the highly modern and developed lifestyles of people under the Indus Civilization have been unearthed at the locations of Mohenjo-Daro on the lower Indus, and at Harappa. The civilization remained prevalent in a huge expanse, covering Peshawar, Swat, Chilas, Gilgit and Hunza.
