The Chinese society grew, developed and flourished in the loess regions associated with the eastern parts of High Asia. This was/is the most impressive and longest lasting of the ancient civilizations and it can be argued that it owes much of its success to its firm foundation in the loess lands. There were/are loess lands associated with the western end of High Asia; not so spectacular and amazing as the Chinese occurrences but significant and deserving of appreciation. The Central Asian loess has been studied and investigated but the loess now in India and Pakistan has been neglected and its societal influence has not been fully appreciated. The Indus Valley was the home for well developed societies in the period of around 3000-1500 BCE; two centres are identified: Harappa and Mohenjo Daro and they both appear to have interesting loessic connections. Here were well developed societies with brick buildings, built with fired bricks, and an alphabet or writing system, which still needs to be significantly translated. Some of these symbols appear to have geomorphological significance. There are four major rivers in the Punjab- the Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi & Sutlej dominate the region, and are closely associated with the Harappan society. The better known Mohenjo Daro situation is located further down the Indus Valley. The loess deposits in the Indus Valley are not well demarcated; there has not been much mapping activity, but the two deposits indicated by S.Z.Rozycki correspond nicely with the two sites of ancient societies . Region 7 on the High Asia diagram is where we find the Indus Valley civilizations; region 1 is the Central Asian loess region; the two rivers indicated are the Amu-Darya and the Syr-Darya. Regions 3 & 4 contain the Chinese loess deposits. S.Z.Rozycki 1991. Loess and Loess-like Deposits. Ossolinium Wroclaw. On p.117 in the section on Local Loesses of Southern Asia - one of the very few maps of loess in India region. SZR has made the picture rather too complex but he manages to show the two loess regions: NE of the Thar desert and W of the Thar desert; the locations of the Harappan and Mohenjo-Daro civilizations. Bricks. Thoughts about bricks. The Indus Valley people built with fired bricks; and they built extensively- there was a lot of brick construction in Harappa and Mohenjo Daro. So they must have had good access to large deposits of suitable brickearth- the sort of brickearth that encouraged the making of fired bricks. It has been suggested that the location of early brick buildings in England was to some extent controlled by access to loessic brickearth- for the construction of suitable bricks. Similar constraints could apply in the Indus Valley; city location may depend on the provision of material for making bricks. In the case of Mohenjo Daro the city appears to be placed exactly on the loess region demarcated by Rozycki. A large patch of suitable loess providing building material for a substantial city. And there must have been plenty of wood available; we see the bricks being fired in clamps with wood as the fuel. A lot of bricks requires a lot of wood. The bricks were made to a 4:2:1 ratio; the sizes were 10 x 20 x 40cms or 7 x 14 x 28 cms. These are large bricks; the smaller bricks appear to been used in houses and the larger bricks in public buildings. They were well laid and many of the constructions have lasted remarkably well. The question of the big brick. Reports suggest that fired bricks were used to construct the buildings at Harappa and Mohenjo Daro. Also it is suggested that some of these were very large- the big bricks 10 x 20 x 40 cms; far too large to be conveniently handled. The normal European brick in the 21st Century has dimensions of about 6 x 10 x 21 cm. It is designed to fit the hand of the bricklayer, and also be of a weight which he or she can lift and manipulate. To be able to produce, to move, and to construct with these large bricks suggests a very well organised and efficient society. The number of bricks used in Harappa and Mohenjo Daro is enormous- so vast brickearth resources were required, and large amounts of fuel for firing. But it is the size of the large brick which causes questions. It is too big; it requires two people to handle it- particularly in the unfired state; great skill and dexterity would have been required. And to get satisfactory firing.. difficult. Are the reports perhaps mistaken? The reported smaller Indus Valley brick at 7 x 14 x 28 cm is not that much larger than the standard European brick and would seem to have been a logical size for normal use. We need a brick measuring expedition to the Indus Valley to measure the bricks, and try to locate the regions where they were produced.
Known to be the bronze age civilization, Indus valley civilization used to extend from today’s Afghanistan to Pakistan and northwest part of India. In the

An Ancient India Escape Room activity about the Indus River Valley Civilization. Ideal for fifth grade or sixth grade, the activity is perfect for group work, starting a new ancient history topic, team-building activities or for a fun, engaging and interactive lesson. The activity can be used in English class as it incorporates some ELA skills or in Social Studies. The activity has been split into four different tasks; your students will need to complete each of the tasks to reveal a word. Together the four words make a phrase for them to escape the room. Included in this resource: - Student guidelines for completing the tasks meaning no teacher prep - A student answer key to complete as they work through the tasks - An informational text or reading comprehension passage - A true or false fact sheet & maze - A crossword puzzle - A timeline activity & answer key - A wordsearch puzzle - Teacher answer sheets for each task ⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻ In Task 1 students will read an informational text about Ancient India and the Indus Valley Civilization and then find their way through a maze by answering true or false comprehension questions. If they answer the questions correctly they will reveal their first word. In Task 2 students will use the same informational text to complete a crossword puzzle. Within the puzzle there are several hidden letters which will need to be unscrambled on the completion of the puzzle to reveal the second word. In Task 3 students will have to cut out 27 timeline task cards before putting them in order from the earliest date to the most recent. When they have finished their task they can glue them onto the answer key which will reveal their third word. In Task 4 students will have to find the missing words in a wordsearch puzzle before finding a hidden word from the letters that are left over in the puzzle. This hidden word is their fourth and final word. Students can then complete their student answer key with the four words they revealed before checking with the teacher to see if they have escaped successfully. ⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻ This resource is great for: - Team-building activities - Group work - Research projects - Reading comprehension - Emergency sub plans - Independent work - Introducing a new topic ⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚

As we promised in our last post ( http://glimmercat.blogspot.com/2016/09/introducing-indus-river-valley-and.html ), today's new store addition includes some fun activities for your Ancient India Unit. Included in the packet, is this wonderful map for you to use in your homeschool or traditional classroom: We recommend a fun tracing activity like this one... Or, take it a step further and make your traced map look "Ancient" like we did here: Another activity included in this packet works specifically with the Ancient Fable of India, "The Hunter and the Quail", which has been reshared in Volume 1 of Story of the World, the popular classical homeschool history program. (Don't judge me for that curved book cover. I do not fold my book covers back like this, but like most Homeschooling parents, I buy used curriculum. As a former Children's Librarian, I feel compelled to explain and declare with the vehemence of a book nerd: Don't do this to your books! Okay, mini rant over.) In chapter Nine of Volume 1, this old story from India is included as a possible clue in the mysterious obliteration of Mohenjo-Daro, one of the cities of the Indus River Road. So to help with the retelling, we created this Indus River Hunter with net in hand. And a small herd of quail. Once printed out on cardstock, these figures should help children be able to act out the story as you read it. A simple activity, but always powerful when incorporating "play" as learning. The small quail can be folded down the line that runs along their backs, and used as the small herd that outsmarts the hunter in the story. If you are not using "Story of the World", but would still like to incorporate this ancient Indian folktale into your Indian unit, then you can find the story retold here, at "Little Green Lampshades": https://littlegreenlampshades.wordpress.com/2014/05/22/a-flock-of-birds-the-importance-of-teamwork/ "Little Green Lampshades" has some excellent teaching ideas to follow this tale up with, including a team activity for use in a classroom so I'd encourage you to peruse her blog. Our last activity included is one we will be sharing in our next blog, how to make Mandalas as an Art Project of Ancient India. Although often created from sand in India, we made ours on paper plates, using pantry items and craft gems. This activity as an art lesson is also included in our free packet. Which you can download right here: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Ancient-India-Activities-The-Indus-River-Valley-FREE-Packet-2776310 Now, I want to mention something else I am working on, so you can keep an eye open for it. I researched another lovely fable of Ancient India, the story of Savitri. And I enjoyed it so much and found so much delight in this strong woman character from the ancient world, that I am bringing her to you in the form of both a coloring book and a graphic novel. It takes a little while, but most of the hand drawings are completed. Then, I convert them to the black and white versions for students to color... And finally, do the coloring for our graphic novel offering. "Savitri" will be released in our store soon, so make sure you subscribe to our blog to keep posted on all our latest offerings, both free and otherwise.
