End of Harapan Civilization 1900 BC
Even for a civilisation as advanced as the Harappan, a second drought was perhaps one too many. A two-pronged climate catastrophe may be what drove the ancient society to disperse and eventually disappear.
The Harappan arose in the Indus valley between north-east Afghanistan and north-west India around 5200 years ago, peaking around 2600 BC. Much about them is unknown, as their written script is still undeciphered. Yet archaeological remains tell the story of a sophisticated people, skilled in metallurgy, trade and urban planning, and particularly adept at controlling water. Their huge cities, complete with intricate sewer systems, reservoirs and public baths, long predated the Roman Empire.
But by 1900 BC, their society seemed to be in decline, and by 1300 BC, the Harappan civilisation had collapsed.
