Why don't we have more information about the Indus Valley civilization? Only one ancient city in the Indus Valley has been discovered and explored. Archaeologists and historians have been unable to decipher the Indus Valley writing. The ancient people of the Indus Valley purposely obscured evidence of their existence. Most archaeologists and historians prefer to work on the Mesopotamian and Egyptian civilizations.
Archaeologists believe that the earliest Indus Valley cities were planned because the streets and buildings were created using a grid pattern. Only a well-planned city could have maintained a structured formation during its construction. The two largest cities that have been discovered in the Indus Valley are Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro.
