What is the near-term forecast? Will analysis of IVC grow over over a few years or will it remain the same? So they identified themselves or their ancestors more with the Greek and Roman and so they are more interested in them than IVC? Yet, it can be argued that the Linear A script is also not deciphered and the culture is still analysed more than IVC.ĭoes bias and discrimination play the most part here? Is it because that most historians grew up in a Western culture and Western culture shared ideas from the Greek and Roman. Some part of neglect is probably due to the Indus Script being not deciphered till now. So what are the reasons for this neglect? The sheer age of the IVC should be interesting to most ordinary people anyway. In short it rivaled that of Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. Yet, according to wikipedia the IVC started around 3300 BC, was one of the largest known ancient civilization with 1052 cities and settlements found, complex engineering, unique arts and many more. Overall, information on IVC is seriously negligible compared to Greek and Roman cultures. I understand people are simply volunteering here, still its tough to imagine no one would be interested in IVC. There are no flaired experts on IVC here and specialists are nearly impossible to find on the internet.In fact there aren't more than a couple of interest websites or forums. Yet, its almost impossible to find some good information about the Indus Valley Civilization. If you do a quick internet search, you can find tons of articles on a wide variety of topics regarding ancient history, especially from Greek and Roman Civilization.
