Also as I understand, the Samaṇa (Sanskrit: Śramaṇa) movement -- including Buddhism, Jainism, et al -- was the organised response/resistance of south Asia's tribal and IVC/Dravidian peoples to the spread of Vedism, and it prompted the Upaniṣadic movement within Vedic Hinduism.

As I understand, yoga, meditation, equality, & viewing the forest as sacred came from the Indus Valley Civilisation (proto-Dravidian) and AASI/tribal peoples, in contrast to the caste-hierarchical, fire-sacrificing, horse-and-plains culture of the Vedic Indo-Aryans.

The #IndusValley #Script remains undeciphered because its texts are exceptionally short—mostly brief inscriptions on small seals—and it lacks a bilingual monument like the Rosetta Stone to provide a known translation bridge.

New Gini analysis of Mohenjo-daro shows the Indus city grew more equal as it matured. Inequality fell steadily for four centuries. The likely mechanism: collective governance. #IndusValley #Archaeology #Inequality @Antiquity https://www.anthropology.net/p/inequality-fell-as-mohenjo-daro-grew

Severe and Persistent River Droughts Led to Collapse of Indus Valley Civilization
Severe and persistent river droughts, each lasting longer than 85 years, affected the Indus basin between 4,400 and 3,400 years ago, according to new research. The findings may help explain why this ancient civilization slowly declined, and highlights how environmental factors could shape ancient societies.

New climate modeling shows the Harappan world shifted not through sudden collapse but centuries of recurring drought. A story of resilience, adaptation, and the limits of river civilizations. #Archaeology #Paleoclimate #IndusValley #Anthropology https://www.anthropology.net/p/when-rivers-faded-climate-whiplash

#KnowledgeByte: The #Indus #Script is a corpus of symbols produced by the #IndusValley #Civilization.
Most inscriptions containing these symbols are extremely short, making it difficult to understand.

Indus Valley civilisation
This map illustrates the extent and key urban centers of the Indus Valley Civilization (circa 3300–1300 BCE), one of the world’s earliest complex societies. Spanning parts of modern-day Pakistan and northwest India, this civilization was notable for its large, well-planned cities, sophisticated infrastructure, and extensive trade networks.

Chief Minister of #TamilNadu, India recently announced a $1 million prize for experts or organisations that succeed in deciphering the scripts of the Indus Valley Civilisation for everyone to understand.
#IndusValley #Script remains a mystery even after 100 years.

The swastika, a symbol deeply rooted in the Indus Valley Civilisation (claimed to be a non-Indo-European, Dravidian culture), is also prominent in Indo-European traditions. This symbol’s presence across diverse cultures remains an enigma.

In #China, New Year's Day falls in spring, but the exact date is determined by when the new moon falls in relation to #Dongzhi, the winter solstice festival.
The #RigVeda also implies that the winter solstice marked New Year's Day in the #IndusValley civilisation, but is unfortunately too vague to say much with certainty.
I am now going to talk in a somewhat more abstract and philosophical way about time, drawing on #Jyotisha

Interesting historical fact: the malted milk biscuit, one of the finest of teatime snacks, has its origins in the ancient civilisation of the Indus Valley.

About a century ago, archeologists discovered traces of an #ancient civilisation in the #IndusValley, comparable to Egypt and Mesopotamia. What they found: large, sophisticated cities, but no evidence of a #RulingClass, no palaces, tombs or temples.
This contradicts the long-held theoretical assumption that any complex #society must have stratified a social #hierarchy.
#Egalitarian societies tend not to leave many archeological traces. No wonder!

Why is no one asking why the Indus script has symbols for a radio telescope, a cell tower, a lawn jart, and the death star trench run targeting computer?
