Why do Historians know so little about Indus river valley?
The problem is not that less is known about the Indus River Valley civilization; the real problem is that much of what we are told by academics about this culture is untrue. We are told that horses, Sanskrit and wheels did not exist in India/Pakistan during Indus valley times, but the truth is that every level of Harappa (and many other IVC sites) have yielded bones of true horses (Equus caballus) verified by the biologist Sandor Bokonyi. Toy oxcarts with wheels have been found at several IVC sites. As for Sanskrit and Prakrit, Indus seals deciphered as long ago as 2010 have been found to encode such common Sanskrit names as Ravi, Mani, Aprian, and so forth. See the Indus Script Dictionary page on Facebook for more details.
Which ancient civilization used religion to help solidify its presences?
The Sumerians, the Hittites, the Babylonians, the assyrians, the Medes (and other persians), the Chinese civilisations, the Indus valley civilisation and other Indian kingdoms, the Hebrews, the Egyptians... pretty much everyone...
What tipe of government did the indus valley civilization have one ruler elected or appointed?
GovernmentEven though the Indus River Valley civilization's government is somewhat of a mystery, we do know that they had some what of a central government, because of the lay out of the city that was so much the same between all of the cities.We know very little about India's government. Perhaps the undeciphered seals that have been found in many places will be the key to this.They did have Rajahs (cool word) which were the rulers of the cities. Perhaps they could have combined their systems to have one central government. Also religion was a big part of how things operated.The Indus Valley people were not that big on schooling. Every Hindu village had an schoolmaster that would teach the boy children from when they were about five years old to when they were eight years old. To them, discipline was the essence of schooling. Yet, a Guru (which was a type of teacher) would live with his student until the student was twenty. Until then the student was required to do chores and services for the Guru. All the subjects were of a religious nature. Schooling has to do with government, because in school they learned a lot about religion, and religion was a big part of government.The Indus priests were somewhat in charge of the government. This is because they were the highest people, when it came to social levels, and because they were the one's who made offerings to the gods. So because of this, people looked up to them.Visit the following sites for more info!http://www.kidsnewsroom.org/elmer/infoCentral/frameset/civilizations/india/gov/index.htmlmonarchy
