About Course

Discover one of the world’s earliest civilisations, which grew up along the River Indus around 4,500 years ago. Children explore the carefully planned cities of Harappa and Mohenjo-daro, their brilliant drains and baths, the mysterious seals whose writing no one can yet read, and the clues archaeologists use to work out how people lived.
