What happened c. 1500 BCE?

Discuss and write down why, how and what had happened to have caused a rapid end to the Indus Valley Civillisation. Support your conclusion with evidence (primary/secondary)



Although there is no known evidence of how, when and why the Indus Valley Civillisation came to an end, many historians and archaeologists believe that it ended due to an unpredictable flood. The cause or causes of the end of the Indus civilization are not easy to determine. At Mohenjo-daro groups of sprawling skeletons in this period suggests some sort of massacre or invasion. The end of the Indus Valley Civilization may have been fairly abrupt and violent, but long before the end came, there seems to have been a gradual process of internal decay and stagnation
