The civilization boasted immense cities like Moenjodaro and Harappa. These towns were well planned, with paved main road, multistoried houses, watchtowers, food werehouse, and assembly halls. Their people developed an advanced script which still remains undeciphered.

The Indus Valley Civilization declined around 1700 BC, and this attributed to foreign invaders, who at some sites, violently destroyed the cities.
