The contribution of ancient cultures and heritage had a great impact which is being unfolded by scientists and archaeologists with the passage of time. The great variety of artifacts collected from the glacial deposits of the area traversed by the Indus and Sowan Rivers consisting of a variety of hand and cutting tools confirms habitation by peoples of the stone age which gradually transformed the region into one of culture, learning and heritage which is much sought of by archaeologists and scientists to arrive at a link for the transformation of society over a period of time.

IVC: The Indus Valley civilization was entirely unknown until 1921, when excavations in what would become Pakistan revealed the cities of Harappa and Mohenjo Daro (shown here). This mysterious culture emerged nearly 4,500 years ago and thrived for a thousand years, profiting from the highly fertile lands of the Indus River floodplain and trade with the civilizations of nearby Mesopotamia.
