Harappa was founded sometime around 3300 BCE lasting to roughly 1500 BCE. It had an area of almost 800,000 miles, with roughly 1,000 cities. The Harappan Civilization even discovered tin, lead, and copper. They even used bricks to build their buildings. The most common jobs were trading and farming, most trade was conducted in the city of Harappa and Mohenjo Daro. Farmers not only produced rice and wheat, but even cotton and dates in larger quantities. These are just some of the ways the Harappan Civilization changed life in ways we still see today.
