Some buttons were carved into geometric shapes and had holes pierced into them so that they could be attached to clothing by using a thread.
Ruler: The oldest preserved measuring rod is a copper-alloy bar which was found by the German Assyriology Eckhart while excavating at Nippur (pictured below). The bar dates from c. 2650 BC. and Unger claimed it was used as a measurement standard. Rulers made from Ivory were in use by the Indus Valley Civilization. 
Step well: Earliest clear evidence of the origins of the step well is found in the Indus Valley Civilization’s archaeological site at Mohenjo Daro in Pakistan and Dholavira, India. The three features of step wells in the subcontinent are evident from one particular site, abandoned by 2500 BC, which combines a bathing pool, steps leading down to water, and figures of some religious importance into one structure.

There are also no remains of great statues of kings or gods. Instead the Indus Valley’s cultural legacy is of small and well-crafted art. While many ancient civilizations focused on worship, it seems that play was very important to the Indus Valley people. They made toys and small figures of people and animals, using metal and clay. People wrote the first line from right to left, the second line from left to right, and so on.]]> 2017-03-21 04:56:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mahwish_abid1/prnzb6w8bztv/wish/161381916 Seals: mahwish_abid1 https://padlet.com/mahwish_abid1/prnzb6w8bztv/wish/161382094 The Pashupati Seal is the name of a satiate seal that was discovered at the Mohenjo-Daro archaeological site of the Indus Valley Civilization.
