Was
the Indus civilisation as unique as Andrew Robinson suggests (17 September, p 30)?
A new study, led by researchers from Imperial College London and the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, has now provided evidence that a major Himalayan river did not flow at the same time as the development of
Indus Civilisation urban settlements.
The Indus civilisation seems to have flourished for 700 years without armour, weapons, inequality or royalty.
The researchers say the time gap between the river shifting course and
the Indus Civilisation settlements appearing rules out the existence of a Himalayan - fed river that nourished Indus Civilisation urban settlements along the river channel.

civilisations developed in Mesopotamia and Egypt.
Most major ancient urban
civilisations, such as Egypt and Mesopotamia, formed around big rivers, so the implications of these findings extend well beyond the
Indus.
