The engineering and city planning used to design many of the three main cities of the Indus Valley suggest strong leadership and forethought to incorporate public works, irrigation, indoor plumping, reservoirs, and craft production. Their process of firing bricks was ingenious, as they were needed to sustain the flooding that occurred occasionally. Harappa, Mohenjo-Daro and Dholivira all possessed similarities linking their civilization together and suggest that this civilization was a group of…

Food was an essential part at Harappa too and was produced in a planned manner. Like in Egypt where the…
