Beginning In the High Mountains
India is a subcontinent of Asia. India is separated from the rest of
Asia by the Himalaya Mountains.– Its highest peak, Mount Everest stand
29,035 feet high!
Home
The Indus River
The Indus River begins as an icy stream high in the Himalaya Mountains.
It flows from the Himalaya south to the Arabian Sea.
The Indus River flows 1,800 miles
Next
The River’s Gift
The Indus River flows through China, Pakistan, and India.
It flows swiftly down the mountains and slows down on the flat, dry Indus Plain.
Next
The River’s Gift (cont.)
During the spring flood, the river spreads silt across the Indus Plain.– Twice as much as the mighty Nile!!
Like the Nile, the Indus branches into a huge delta before it reaches the Arabian Sea.
Like people of Egypt, they depended on the floods to bring rich silt.
Like Mesopotamians, they built cities with temples.

Indus Valley Agriculture Around 6000 B.C.
people began farming in the Indus Valley.
They grew– Wheat, barley, beans,
and sesame. Crops grew quickly in
the hot climate. Farmers planted and
harvested crops twice a year!
Next
Working with the Enviorment
Harvest was not guaranteed in the Indus Valley. Flood walls did not always protect crops and
villages. Tiger, jackals and wild pigs endangered farmers. Deer and birds often ate crops.
Next
To have a successful harvest, Indus Valley farmers had to be alert
to many dangers!
