Abstract

indus civilization is considered as the most mysterious civilization of the world because until now researchers have failed to provide a plausible explanation of the symbols and language found written on various tablets. Considered as an urban civilization far superior to that of summer civilization, indus Valley civilization and its disappearance is considered as one of the biggest archaeological challenges still faced by the researchers.Discovered in first part of the last century, the major archaeological work on indus Valley civilization started taking placing during the decade of 1921- 1931 however, after the partition of India and the creation of Pakistan- where this site is situated, have indicated towards new evidence of the extent of this civilization. However, what is so critical about this civilization is the fact that most of the evidence gathered from its major sites such as Mohan Jo Daro, Harappa and other sites indicate nothing about what this civilization actually was and as such a major part of Indian history is still undecipherable and unknown to the modern world.(Fitzsimons,1970).
