Indus Valley
Around 5,000 years ago, an important civilization developed on the Indus River. From about 2500 B.C. to 1700 B.C. a huge number of settlements were built on the banks of the Indus River. These settlements covered a large region, almost 1.25 million kilometers of land. Indus Valley Civilization was a well-organized and solidly built out of brick and stone. Their draining systems, wells and water storage systems were the most sophisticated in the world. They made jewelry, game pieces and toys for their children. They also developed a writing system which was used for several hundreds of years.

Why Should I Care?
Their sewer system could of been the beginning of plumbing that has been more improved over the years to the systems we have now. This sewage system could be important to our modern day plumbing.
