BLOG 6: Chapter 2 - Indus Valley Civilization
Indus Valley Civilization
Archeological treasures of the Indus Valley is very impressing. Sadly Indus Valley Civilization started to decline and archeologists uncovered its remarkable remains. They found some achievements and unique features about them. An example of an item that archeologist have found is a Seal. It may seem that there is a cow or a bull on it with some sort of writing using different symbols. Another art piece of work they found is a statue of seven inches tall found in Mohenjo Daro. The statue is named "Man from Mahenjo Daro".
Researches found out that urban women played an important social and religion role in the Indus Valley civilization. During that time, figurine of women and goddesses were move popular than those of men. Archeologist found an figurine that seems to represent a women who is wearing dancing cloths. She also has her hair tied in either a specific or traditional way. The figurine doesn't seem to be that old.
The only reason why we know them is because of their art work as evidence. Since we don't know much about them it does makes us want to seek for further evidence.
Summary in class:
The "Dancing girl"is a figuring of a women who seems confident, and she is also skinny. She is also tall and has jewelry.
The Man seems wide, with the clothing he is wearing. He could possibly be a psychologist.
The Seal had a writing using symbols. Later writing uses an alphabet.
21st direction of written language and then it was switched back towards symbols.
