Free FreeWhen Alexander the Great invaded the Indus Valley in the 4th century BC, he was wholly unaware that this region of north-west India had once been the centre of a civilisation worthy of comparison with ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.
In this lecture, author Andrew Robinson introduces the Indus civilisation that flourished for half a millennium from about 2600 to 1900 BC, when it mysteriously declined and vanished. It remained invisible for almost 4,000 years, until its ruins were discovered in the 1920s by British and Indian archaeologists. Today, after almost a century of excavation, it is regarded as the beginning of Indian civilisation and possibly the origin of Hinduism. Includes a complimentary drink.
