Indus Valley Civilisaton Part 2










Hello everyone





Welcome back. Nice to meet you again. Today I am going to talk to you about a citadel located at the top most of Harappa. It was the raised part of the city. It has often been described as a fort or administrative block. People might have lived here. The ruling classes included priests and wealthy merchants. The citadel had massive walls. Those walls provided protection against the floods of the Indus river. The citadel consisted of important buildings like the Granary and the Assembly or Town Halls, We also come across the Great Bath here. This is the picture.

It is also believed that the citadel is used as a protection for the villagers of Harappa. It is to protect themselves in case if an enemy attacks the city.

Regards
Firdaus
