One Hundred Years of Indus Archaeology: Major Discoveries, New Perspectives, Future Directions 

Yes. Amman worship. It shows the IVC may have had matrilineal society.

@@martinam3241 Goddess Usha is a vedic god. It is not a tribal god of Hindus.

What is your point please explain.

@4:06 No it doesn't. They were not modern people, but earlier humans like Australopithecus, which also migrated from Africa. Neaderthals and Denovisians are humans that did not move from Africa as they are never found there, but all modern humans clearly came from Africa. DNA research has made that irrefutable. In Europe and the Levant they found themselves some handsome and exotic Neaderthals, in Asia they met some buxum Denovisians to have offspring with or vice versa. Alternatively though they may have been food or trophies at times as well as trade partners. Humans tend to have a wide variety of interactions, so we'll find examples of those varieties. If Chimpansees have wars for the best resources, no doubt violent conflict is another thing we have in common. @10:17 The swastika clearly is a symbol that has retained its importance in the area, similar to the sort of decorations people wear. I wonder if the bovine divinity on the pots is related to the holy cow. I wouldn't be surprised to find that later civilisations and religions incorporated religious concepts into their own pantheons for continuity, much like Jahweh is a variant of the god El of Babylon. The burial practice or rather the lack of that is also a practice that has survived the ages. @12:49 A system of symbols that carry meaning understandable by others and considering the use of similar symbols in other areas in a different order indicates a writing system that conveys sounds. That is writing. The increased use of those symbols also indicates an increase in importance for an elite group. Knowledge is power as it certainly helps organising society. Linear B was only adopted by the Myceneans after they conquered Knossos and understood its merits.

@@chubbymoth5810 btw, i like your name; made me smile; why that name? just curious. @4:06 he does clearly state people were in the indus area 2 million years ago. this should not be stated, even by you accepting Australopithecus as 'earlier humans'; it will give people in india(and elsewhere) that man today was in india First. this is misleading. you seem to be a faith believer in dna research. does it have any faults? YES, it does; Many. one being the UNKNOWN 98.5% of dna called 'Junk dna'. the list goes on so you can learn it yourself. i wouldn't bet any amount of money on dna science making an exact replica based on 1.5% known(maybe less). we have to stop kidding ourselves on the KNOWN on dna. it can be misused for the wrong reasons when we start assuming the science is complete. other assumptions based on dna are faulty as well. according to other research on what type of man leaving africa is actually showing that other 'species'(species definition is still under debate; yes, it is). cro magnon man is closest to modern man in europe, not in africa. i am not saying this because of phenotype of africans today. in egyptian and previous time in North Africa, the phenotype of most of North Africans were caucasian type. even based on the dna you support. i only say that the term 'species' and 'modern man' lead to saying one modern man is the same as modern man in the past long ago. today, humans are a result of Hybridization(which you seem to agree with to a degree) - neandertals with a species of man, not sub saharan(let's say europe); denisovans with a species of man, not sub saharan(let's say asia) - and there is still UNKNOWN 'ghost dna' in sub saharan africans. also, another couple of 'species' of man were discovered recently. next, the flyfot(swastika) is observed around the world. plus other commonalities that cannot just be explained away as Collective Conscious. i am an odds betting person. things were most likely spread by contact, then a primal chance dice game. can happen sometimes, but rarely. next, 'writing system' is not just sounds compredhended by others. YOU commented, "A system of symbols that carry meaning understandable by others and considering the use of similar symbols in other areas in a different order indicates a writing system that conveys sounds." ---- the use of sounds is language ---- even at that, language has to be defined. a 'Writing System' is a SET of RULES to Visually reflect language based on sounds ... Shared Commonly by others. HUGE difference. sumerians didn't have the First 'Writing System'; they had the First 'Writing' --- Known that is. i hope this clarifies some things i commented. i hope others don't loosely say terms that really are not clearly defined like 'species' or misused like 'writing system'. people tend to use terms loosely and confusion begins. thanks if you read.

forgot to comment that the unknown 'ghost dna' in sub saharan africans is not in european man dna.
