The People of the Indus: A Graphic Narrative on the Rise and Fall of the Harappan Civilization
What lay behind the enigmatic Indus civilisation? Why did its inhabitants chart a different path from their Egyptian counterparts? And where did they ultimately vanish to? This graphic narrative tackles these tantalising puzzles with scholarly rigour and artistic flair. Grounded in years of archaeological investigation, the work transports readers into the daily existence of people living along the Indus around 3200 BCE, bringing their world vividly to life through striking illustrations. Rather than drowning you in textbook chronologies, it captures the humanity and complexity of one of antiquity's most puzzling societies, one that left an indelible mark on civilisation itself. Whether you're a teenager discovering ancient history anew or an adult seeking fresh perspectives, this account offers something genuinely different. It's the kind of book that makes you question what we think we know about the past.
