September 21 - Chapter 2 Documents

The Indus Valley People were very organized with cities well planned and surrounded by walls of standardized bricks, something many others did not have till very later. Along with it house and cities systematically placed on a grid, inside each home, there was a latrine and a sewage system. Although they did have a language which they used to write down records, much of it still hasn't been deciphered. The Indus Valley people also used seals on many of their artifacts. Seals with pictures of bulls and other animals were used as labels so other could know who that thing belonged to. For example, a seal of a bull meant that belonged to a high ranking official of a powerful clan since it was rarer compared to other. These seals were also found in other civilization like in Mesopotamia which hints that they could have traded with each other. It is clear that the Indus Valley people were very sophisticated.
-There was a numerous difference between first civilizations. Some civilizations were not trading as much as other. An example of this is those in the Americas compared to those in Eurasia. Other had more sophisticated cities, for example, the Indus Valley people and their sewage system and latrines. These things were something they many civilizations did not have. The Indis Valley is a good example of a civilization that a very different from others because we could see that they were more advanced than other.
