9. 8 By 2500 B.C., cities started to appear in the Indus Valley of South Asia. By 2000 B.C., they were being established in the Huang Ho (Yellow River) valley of China. More isolated than the people of Mesopotamia or Egypt, the people of the eastern river valley civilizations were cut off from other parts of the world by high mountains, broad deserts, and large bodies of water. As a result, they became self-sufficient, or able to take care of nearly all their own needs. Compared to the Sumerians and the Egyptians, they did little trading with other parts of the world. Because few artifacts have been found, much of what is known about the ancient eastern river valley civilizations comes from legends. Even so, available evidence points to unique and rich cultures that continue to interest archaeologists. Chapter Focus 4 Why It’s Important Click the Speaker On button to replay audio.

11. 10 Section 1-1 The Indus River Valley The Indus River flows through the countries known today as Pakistan and India.  About 2500 B.C., a group of people called Harappans settled in the valley of the Indus River.  Although others had lived there before, the Harappans were the first to create a civilization.  The Indus River shaped the lives of the Harappan people. Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Section 1 begins on page 83 of your textbook.

12. 11 Section 1-2 The Indus River Valley (cont.) Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. They built dikes and dams in order to settle near the Indus River.  The Harappans were the earliest known people to grow cotton.  They produced cotton cloth hundreds of years before anyone else.  They used river mud to make bricks, which they baked in the sun.  They fired, or baked, some bricks in kilns, or ovens. They used these kiln-dried bricks as a covering over the mud bricks.

13. 12 Section 1-3 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Harappan civilization centered around two major cities, Harappa and Mohenjo-daro.  These cities are the oldest examples yet found of planned communities, or cities built to a definite plan.  The buildings were laid out on a planned street grid, or uniform network.  Most buildings were two stories high and were built around a courtyard, which opened into several rooms. Harappa and Mohenjo-daro

14. 13 Section 1-4 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. The most important buildings of Harappa and Mohenjo-daro were built high above the houses and shops so as to be safe from neighboring peoples and floods.  In each city, a citadel, or fortress, stood on a mound at least 40 feet high.  Both cities had huge granaries. Harappa and Mohenjo-daro (cont.)

15. 14 Section 1-5 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. No one knows for certain how Harappan civilization came to an end.  One reason may have been that the Harappans used up their natural resources.  Another reason may have been that the Harappans cut down too many trees to fuel their ovens.  A third reason may have been that the Indus River valley was invaded and all the Harappans were killed. Decline of the Harappans

16. 15 Section 1-6 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. All that is certain is that Harappan civilization began to change about 1700 B.C.  By 1200 B.C., a group of people called Aryans had taken over the Indus River valley.  Harappan civilization ceased to be. Decline of the Harappans (cont.)

17. 16 Section 1-7 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Very little is known about the Harappan people and their civilization.  As yet, no one has been able to read Harappan writing.  All that is known about Harappan religion is that there was more than one god, and most Harappan gods were female.  One of the most important finds was a series of tiny seals made of soapstone. Evidence of a Lost Civilization

18. 17 Section 1-8 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Experts believe the seals were used to stamp the wet clay that sealed packages of goods.  Some Harappan seals have been found as far away as Sumer. Evidence of a Lost Civilization (cont.)

The Huang Ho Valley About 2000 B.C., a civilization developed in the Huang Ho valley of northern China.  There are no records of its beginnings, and no remains have been found.  According to Chinese legend, a man-god named Yü the Great drove out the serpents and dragons that lived along the Huang Ho.  Yü founded a kingdom called Xia and united most of northern China under his rule.

25. 24 Section 2-2 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. The Huang Ho Valley (cont.) The valley was cut off from other civilizations.  The people there developed their culture without borrowing from other civilizations.  By 1800 B.C., there were villages and farms all along the river.  They built small round clay houses with thatched roofs.

26. 25 Section 2-3 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. The first records of Chinese civilization come from a dynasty, or ruling family, called Shang.  The Shang came to power in 1766 B.C. and built the first Chinese cities.  Most were designed in the same way, with a palace and a temple in the center.  The city was the home of the rich, the learned, and the skilled.  Poorer people lived in the countryside.

27. 26 Section 2-4 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. The Shang worshiped spirits, or supernatural beings, which they believed lived in mountains, rivers, and seas.  The people believed they had to please the spirits.  The Shang believed that ancestors, or those from whom one is descended, also influenced people’s fortunes.  Because of this respect for ancestors, family ties were very important to the Shang. Spirits, Ancestors, and Kings

28. 27 Section 2-5 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. The Shang believed that their kings received their power from the spirits of nature and their wisdom from their ancestors.  Kings also asked the advice of their ancestors before making important decisions by scratching questions on a flat, polished piece of bone.  These bones are known as oracle bones, and the writing on them is the oldest known form of Chinese writing. Spirits, Ancestors, and Kings (cont.)

29. 28 Section 2-6 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Under the king was a large class of nobles, or people of high rank in a kingdom.  Nobles rode into battle in horse-drawn bronze chariots wearing bronze helmets and armor made of buffalo or rhinoceros hide.  Soldiers–generally poor peasants–marched on foot behind nobles’ chariots. Spirits, Ancestors, and Kings (cont.)

30. 29 Section 2-7 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. There was a great gap between rich and poor during the rule of the Shang.  Neither the rich or poor felt any loyalty toward the other.  Many experts believe that this gap between rich and poor weakened the Shang civilization.  In 1122 B.C., a people known as Zhou invaded the Shang kingdom.  The Shang left behind a great gift to the rest of the world in their works of bronze. Decline of the Shang
