Question

The Indus Valley houses were built of -----?
a. Bamboos
b. Burnt bricks
c. Mud
d. Marbles

Answer 1

Hint: The Indus Valley Civilization had an elaborate system of urban infrastructure. It had houses in rows, roads crossing each other at ninety degrees, the city's extensive drainage system, etc. The use of wooden moulds turned the clay into bricks and then set it on fire in a kiln.

Complete solution:
The Indus civilization, also known as the Indus Valley Civilization or Harappan Civilization, is the oldest known urban culture of the Indian subcontinent. The atomic dates of civilization appear to be around 2500 to 1700 BCE, although the southern sites later moved into the second millennium BCE.

Civilization was first identified in 1921 in Harappa in the Punjab region and then in 1922 at Mohenjo-Daro (Mohenjodaro) near the Indus River in the Sindh (Sindh) region. Both sites are in the provinces of Pakistan, Punjab and Sindh respectively. The ruins of Mohenjo-Daro were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980.

Subsequently, the remains of the civilization were found as Sutkagen Dor, near Karachi, about 300 miles (480 km) off the coast of the Arabian Sea in southwestern Balochistan province, Pakistan; And in Ropar (or Rupar), in eastern Punjab state, in northwestern India, at the bottom of the Shimla hills, about 1,000 miles (1,600 km) north-east from Sutkagen Dor. Later exploration established the west coast of India, the Gulf of Khambhat (Cambay) to the south, 500 miles (800 km) from Karachi and 30 miles (50 km) from the basin of the Yamuna (Jumana) River to the southeast. km) north of Delhi. Thus it is the most widespread of the three oldest civilizations in the world; The other two are from Mesopotamia and Egypt, both of which started a little earlier.

Hence, the correct answer is option b.

Note:
The Indus civilization consists of two large cities, Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro and more than 100 towns and villages, often of relatively small size. Both cities were originally about 1 mile (1.6 km) square in overall dimensions, and their outstanding magnitude suggests political centralization, either in two large states or in the same great empire with alternative capitals, in Indian history. There are similarities. It is also possible that Harappa succeeded Mohenjo-Daro, which is known to have caused havoc more than once. The southern region of the civilization, the Kathiawar Peninsula and beyond, appears to be of later origin than the major Indus sites. The civilization was literate, and its script, with some 250 to 500 characters, has been partially and temporarily disbanded; The language has been identified as Dravidian indefinitely.
