How did they train builders to construct their elaborate drainage systems or teach merchants to navigate vast trade networks? And what role did community learning play in a civilization known for its order and uniformity?In this episode, we’ll explore the learning traditions of the Indus River Valley—examining what archaeology tells us about education, skill development, and everyday life in one of history’s most enigmatic civilizations.So step into the bustling streets of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro as we uncover the education of the Indus River Valley on Classrooms Through Time.
