MindMap Gallery The Ancient History of Pakistan
The ancient history of Pakistan begins with the Indus Valley Civilization, which existed approximately from 2600-1900 BCE, represented by cities such as Mohenjo-daro and Harappa, with achievements including urban planning and a writing system. Subsequently, around 1500 BCE, the Aryan invasions introduced Vedic culture, gradually evolving Sanskrit into Hindi and Urdu. From the 6th to 4th centuries BCE, Buddhism rose, with Taxila and Gandhara becoming important centers for Buddhist monasteries. In the 8th century CE, Arab conquest brought Islamic influence, leaving a legacy of numerous mosques and forts.
