How monsoon failure slowly erased the Indus Civilization, according to new Harappan research
Ancient Indus Valley Civilization's decline was driven by prolonged droughts, not sudden catastrophe. New climate studies reveal centuries of drying rivers and water stress forced gradual abandonment of urban centers. This ecological vulnerability reshaped settlements, leading to de-urbanization and a shift towards more viable, dispersed locales, offering crucial lessons for modern monsoon-dependent regions.
