| the First Epson of a series of facts about the civilization of the Indus Valley |

| The Indus Valley Civilization remains one of the most enigmatic events in human history, if only for the paucity of knowledge associated with it in general discourse. It was truly a paean to the desire for human excellence, even in those times, bringing in its wake several important inventions which mankind has derived progress from.
Each and every one of the 4 ancient civilizations had its own mind boggling languages, handicrafts, religion et al. Here I am only concentrating on the amazing and unique things found exclusively in Indus Valley Civilization.
1) IVC is the largest of the 4 ancient river valley civilizations.
The Indus Valley Civilization was spread out over an area of 1,260,000 km² over modern day Afghanistan, India and Pakistan. The geographical spread is appreciable particularly when we consider the fact that all across this immense expanse, Indus Valley settlements exhibit the same hallmark features of their civilization. At its peak the area must have been inhabited by well over 5 million people. |
