Features: This book tells the little-known story of ancient India before the birth of Buddhism in the form of prose, accompanied by rich and colorful illustrations. In the 1920s, the spread of pickaxe archaeology around the world led British archaeologists such as John Marshall to uncover magnificent ancient cities and grand buildings in the ruins of the Indus Valley, including advanced bath complexes, exquisite sculptures and carvings, and mysterious scripts on various seals. The masters of the Indus Valley cities, hidden in the vast darkness, had long been living in a civilized and orderly environment before the arrival of the Aryans. It was a lost, mythical world.
