Indus Valley Civilization, by Zion

(The kids are working their way through a book on Indian history that I bought them. This is the first installment in reports they'll be writing to summarize what they've read.)

The Indus Valley civilization was made up of a bunch of big cities. The Indus Valley Civilization was around 2500 BCE. The Indus Valley civilization was in Northern India. Alexander Cunningham discovered the Indus Valley Civilization. The Indus Valley Civilization was also called the Harappan Civilization. The Indus Valley civilization was so big that it streched into present day Pakistan. It covered 1.3 million sq km. It was also called the Harrapan Civilization because the first cite discovered was Harappa. The roads were at right angles to each other in a grid pattern. Each house had a draning sistym conected to underground pippes. This syctam was so exalent because the poop and pee being flushed away did no smell good but because the pipes were under ground so nobody had to smell it.
