Civilization Rises in India

On Wed. 21st, Sept. and Thurs. 22nd, Sept. we looked at the rise of civilization in the Indus River Valley and the earliest empires of India. We also discussed how physical geography has a major impact on how and even if a civilization develops. The Indus River Valley civilization had all the six characteristics of a civilized society, but it had developed some traits that were unique to the world. After nomadic invaders destroyed the civilization, new empires, such as the Mauryan and Gupta empires, took its place.

If you were absent, you will need to turn in your work from last time. Also you will need to download a copy of the notes and copy them from a friend in class. The assignment can be completed by using your textbook and simply following the instructions.



Thanks.
