One of The Largest Civilization on Account of Population

There were approximately 1056 cities discovered in the Indus Valley Civilization, with 96 of them being excavated. And one of the interesting facts about the Indus Valley Civilization is this is one of the largest civilizations on account of the population.

Agriculture first appeared in Balochistan, on the outskirts of the Indus alluvium, around 6500 BCE. Settled life made inroads into the Indus plains throughout the next millennia, paving the way for the emergence of rural and urban human settlements. As a result of the more organized sedentary lifestyle, the birth rate increased. The population of the subcontinent expanded to between 4–6 million people during the civilization's heyday, with the main urban sites of Mohenjo-daro and Harappa containing between 30,000 and 60,000 people. The fatality rate rose during this time as contagious diseases spread due to the close living conditions of people and domesticated animals. According to one estimate, the Indus Civilization's peak population was between one and five million people.

Despite the large population, this civilization's streets and markets were unafraid of turmoil. It is because of the meticulous layout of the city. Agriculture, commerce, and craft work were the people's principal occupations.
