Ruins of ancient places always makes my heart swell. Imagining how once this place was full of life. Surrounded by jungles and animals.
People used to chat, work, eat . Children used to play.
They also had stories of love, war, sorrow, fantasy, superstition ,songs , innovation. Just like us.
I wonder how everything looked at night. Looking at stars full of sky were they able to see Milky Way?
But sadly now everything is lost. The language, clothing, the laughs, the cheers, the animals... it's all vanished. 😞
I really want a time machine. 😭😭
Thank you for this walk through. Hope someday I will be able to go.

Love these walking tours. I know I'll never be able to go to places like this myself, and videos like this are just so much more intimate, more like being there, than all the dramatic, sweeping helicopter/drone shots you get from documentaries made for TV, etc. Also, I love how open everything is. Like, there's the one cage thing over the furnace to protect it, but everything else is just right there with nothing in front of it. It's embarrassing, but I know if you left a place like that out in the open in the US, it'd be destroyed within a month.

Lothal also has yielded several of the mesoptamian finds in harappan contexts

Thanks, it was really interesting. I am rather impressed that the ruins are so well preserved considering how old they are and that so much of it is made of bricks.
Water certainly must have been very important here considering how many water features still remains and hygiene seems to have been a priority as well. There are actually some parallels to another site that is far away and slightly older, Skara Brae in the Orkney's.
It seems like hygiene and water management that far back were more advanced then most people think and not in a single place or even civilization either. :)

I’d like to take a moment to appreciate how incredible fired mud bricks are! I would hazard a guess that the first cities developed where they did because the people building them used a building material that was both easy to make and build with and also could last a very long time.

Sorta unrelated but listening to you walking around and the birds softly chirping was the most relaxed I've been in a while

incredible footage, this really communicates the scale and style of even a smaller city of this civilization

If anybody has seen Star Wars Rebels you IMMEDIATELY know Dave Filoni has heard of this place. The Harrapans were an amazing people. Some Tamil of India claim THEY are the Harappans, but I don't know about that.

You should have explored the ancient Harappan city of Dholavira too

Thanks for the time and effort you took to share this with us. The Harrappan civilisation is very interesting! While you were walking the docks, my imagination filled the image with boats and bustle of a busy dockyard!

did people in the Indus civilization eat beef ?
because many researchers say so.

Thank you! I love your channel! These videos are like historical ambiance, and I love it! ❤

The brick structures are amazing. Completely straight, not even sinking and looks like any modern structure. Nothing of the Roman nonsense and super quality bricks. Harappa seems to have had much more of an industrial/engineering basis than the agricultural ones in Mesopotamia and Egypt.

Thanks for an awesome tour, Cy! Fascinating stuff.

Another great video! Didn’t know almost anything about the Harappan civilization before History with Cy. Thanks!

Lothal. Sounds like something out of Robert E. Howard. My absolute favorite author 😻
Also, yay, more Bronze Age 😻
