The history behind the Indus river!!!
In 2000 B.C. the first civilization was formed along the Indus river. It was known to be the first earliest civilization in the world. The word Indus is the English name that came from Sinthos in Greek and Sindus in Latin.The Indus river is a natural boundary between Afganistan and Iran. The Indus river supplies many large industries and is the main supply of fresh water in Pakistan. It is considered very sacred in the Hindu religion. It is known to have 2 large cites called: Harppa and Mohenjo Daro, (which is now Pakistan). The river was supported by a base called the Indus Valley Civilzation. The Indus Valley Civilzation is where wheat and barley were grown. There were many animals that were raised in the Indus Valley Civilization. Cotton was grown there too. No one knows when the civilization ended. But it is known that Mohenjo Daro was attacked and destroyed in the mid 2nd millennium bc.
So the first civilization was at 2000bc and the Indus river was very sacred. Also the river had a base and it was called: Indus Valliy Civlivization. My source was:http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Indus+river

This project enhanced my thinking and google searching skills. I would never have known how important this river was if I had not done this project. The most important fact about the Indus River as I told you was that it was one of the first civilizations in the world. And that is my history of India project.
