The India civilization now having agriculture on their side can create useful inventions to help people learn and use in their life. The Indus Script was the first known form of writing in India. This writing system was made from the Indus River Valley civilization in India mostly known to be written on pottery, tables and bronze weapons. This form of writing was usually not that long on one tablet is would usually on average be around 5 symbols, no more than 25. The origin/start of this system was hard to be deciphered by archeologist. When It was later improved near full development around 2600-1900 BC it was easier to decipher for them. Square stamps (fig 1.0 ) made of copper had the Indus Script writing carved on them , this was usually the way of media for the Indus civilization.


                The Indian civilization also invented one of the most important skills known today...... the counting system. The counting system more known to be called the Hindu Arabic numerals where invented by Indian mathematician. This numeral system was made of 10 symbols -1,0,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9. This system was known to be made around 7th century BC and made India very advance in math. They would later help propose the mathematics of algebra, trigonometry and even calculus. In Ancient Greece the highest numbers they would use were 10 to the power of 6, before 5,000 BC ancient Indians would go up to 10 to the power of 53.

The Indus River and the monsoons played an important role in that ideal location. Both could make agriculture easy and create an abundance of food, and both could destroy any civilization there. The river gave rich soil after flooding, but flooding was unpredictable and sometimes violent.

Summer monsoons, which blow moist air from the ocean across the country, cause powerful storms. With too much rain, floods could destroy entire villages. But, if the storms didn’t develop, droughts would. If there wasn’t enough rain, plants would wither and die, people would go hungry.
