Indus civilization (Crescents)

The Indus Valley Civilization (IVC) was a collection of Early Stone age and Bronze Age civilizations (TBD BCE)extending from what today is northeast Afghanistan to Pakistan and northwest India Along with the Ancient Nile and Mesopotamia it was one of three early civilizations of the Old World and by far the oldest, and of the three the most widespread. It flourished in the basins of the Indus River, one of the major rivers of Asia, and the Ghaggar-Hakra River, which once coursed through northwest India and eastern Pakistan. At its peak the Indus civilizations collectively had a population of nearly 12 million at their greatest populational and territorial extent

Also known as the Hara civiliztion, after one of the primary Indus cities of Hara. It began its more notable development around 6000-5300 BCE following a period of slow but gradual development, but it is not entirely known for sure when they officially formed their cities. This development is believed to have begun with the congregation of many people into organized cities and the aggressive competition formed between various villages and and small towns to outgrow and outdo eachother. After hundreds of years this resulted in dynamic and powerful cities. Known for some of the first sets of written law, Class systems in civilization, and sophisticated city design including sewers and planned blocks and sectors, the Indus are widely accepted as the most dynamically powerful civilizations of the old world.

Chronology
The Indus civilization is well known for the inclusion of the previous cultures into each new rising civilization and occasionally the resurgence of another city and its retaking of power. Almost every period has been known to at least have one city state being dominant over the rest. Most notably were the Cities of Hara and Dorago for enforcing a regional hegemony for long periods of time with economic and military power until their own collapse, conquest, or demise. By the Developing states period in 4200 there was no clear powerhouse city state and Dorago had been completely wiped out by a coalition of various city states upset with their regional hegemony. By 3500 however the first proto-empire formed out of the city of Hara who led a series of successful conquests and for the first time united most of the cities along the Indus however this led to the rival Sokho rival empire who was strong enough to challenge the Hara but paved the way for the City-state of Rakhigari to exploit the situation for allies and break the power of both powers. This led to the first fully unified Indus empire which outside of a few dynastic changes lasted for over a thousand years Expanding deep into India creating an expansive (albeit overexpansive) and dynamic empire which kindled culture throughout the entire sub-continent.
