The
Indus Valley civilisation, at its peak, covered an area of around 480,000 km2 (185,000 sq mi), an area just over half the size of present-day Pakistan. Its heartland lay in the
Indus River in
Pakistan, but settlements spread as far as the Makran coast,
Balochistan,
Afghanistan, eastern
Punjab,
Kutch and
Saurashtra. They included cities like
Harappa,
Mohenjo-daro,
Kalibangan,
Dholavira, ports like
Lothal,
Sutkagen-dor and
Sokhta Koh and numerous villages as well. They used irrigation to farm and constructed cities. The two main cities had sewage systems, bronze, trade tokens (early coins), and hieroglyphs. There were even baths at one of the villages, besides the great baths of brick in each city.
Sahure is the earliest known king to make use of a high-seas navy to transport troops over the sea.
The earliest known example of a
sewn boat is constructed in Egypt.
