Meluhha: the Indus Civilization and Its Contacts with Mesopotamia
Mark Kenoyer, University of Wisconsin, Madison


Meluhha -- the name for the Indus civilization found in Mesopotamian texts -- was an important source of exotic goods, many of which are preserved in the archaeological record of Mesopotamia. The movement of people and goods between these two regions established a pattern of interaction that continued in later periods and is still seen today. This lecture presents an overview of the Indus civilization and its contact with the Mesopotamia during the forth to second millennia BC.

  • Fantastic! The first thing that strikes me is how 'civilized' these people were - the fusion of science, culture, trade, relative non-violence, spiritual development is compelling. Thank you Mark!

  • Great presentation! Thanks for your research. Hopefully the day that we find a "Rosetta Stone" for the Indus Valley Civilization is not far away.
