THE LOST WORLD: INDUS VALLEY CIVILIZATION

INTRODUCTION

Rumors have surfaced about the existence of a time portal which allows people to travel back in time to the Indus River Valley between 2500B.C. and 1500B.C. You and two of your friends decide to go through the portal to investigate the cities of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro. What will you find when you get there? Many people say that the Indus Valley had a well organized civilization---much like Mesopotamia or Egypt. This is what the three of you want to determine.
