Indus Valley Summary-Christian

I think that the game was very fun and contained a lot of interesting information. I had fun doing it and also learned a lot about the Indus Valley Civilization.

One of the main things I found interesting about their civilization was their pluming and draining system. I find it neat that their plumbing and draining system was that much like ours today. I found that their civilization was very interesting and would like to learn more about them.
